Rev. Shines – Today’s Good News Vol. 4

Tracklist available here: https://blog.discogs.com/en/crate-diggers-mix-009-rev-shines/

Fulfill your soul and free with your mind with the latest installment of Today’s Good News, crafted specifically for Crate Diggers, in support of Crate Diggers Portland 2017. Inspired by records bought and people met from a recent trip around the world, Rev. Shines takes you on a journey of samples and discovery. This is an all-vinyl mixtape, using records found while on the road this past year.

Rev. Shines is a crate digger in its truest sense; Questlove once announced at a show in Portland, “Rev. Shines built my record collection.” Shines has performed in over 15 countries, is 1/3 of the Hip Hop group Lifesavas whom Rolling Stone Magazine touted as a “Top Band to Watch” in 2007, and DJs the most popular Hip Hop dance party in Portland, “Live and Direct”. His mixtape series, Today’s Good News has a cult following and sells out immediately online and at record stores like Turntable Lab.

While working at the Portland landmark record store, Jump Jump, Shines met and sold records to music legends like the aforementioned Questlove, J.Dilla, and Easy Mo Bee. Most importantly, he met the proverbial king of House music production, Kenny Dope, whom invited him on a world tour, DJing and digging in countries like Japan and Australia.

What does Rev. Shines sound like? A decade crossing beat visionary, inspired by golden era Hip Hop, Southern Gospel singers, and funky Brasilians from the 1970’s. His dynamic live sets simultaneously put smiles on faces, get heads nodding, and suggest feelings of an ever-present coolness.

The day begins with the record fair featuring 30+ vendors and 6 of Portland’s best local DJs, then moves into the all-night after-party, featuring Soul Clap, Supreme La Rock, and Rev. Shines!

Crate Diggers Mix 009 - Today's Good News Vol. 4

Crate Diggers Mix 009 - Rev. Shines

Back in the late 90's we were touring in N. America and Japan a lot and mixtapes were a small, cheap piece of merchandise to sell at shows so I put this collection together. Using scraps of turntable jams from Stealth, Solid Steel and various other gigs we'd been recording over the preceding years as well as answerphone messages and other miscellanea, this ramshackle collection resulted.
It's all live, virtually all improvised, there are mistakes, needle skips, sloppy scratches and bad sound quality (sound sources were from cassette or portable DAT generally). There were possibly around 500 copies made but I only had one myself. The audio for this rip was taken from the master DAT though and EQ'd and balanced in places to make it a nicer listen. The cover image of a John Coltrane painting was taken in Tortoise's kitchen in Chicago, one Sunday on a day off when PC and I were there with Bundy K Brown, hence the title.Sunday At Bundy's - DJ Food's Audio Scrapbook (side A.)

Tracklist:
1/ Starter  - (Liquid Rooms - Tokyo Nov '96) 
2/ Words I Manifest - (Liquid Rooms - Tokyo Nov '96)
3/ Here We Go, Are You Ready For Another? - (Stealth - Blue Note Dec '95)
4/ Ge' Down - (Krush & Food - Osaka Nov '96)

10/ Idle Banter (Warwick '95)

"I really have no specific memory of putting this mix together, or for what purpose. Nonetheless, 'Live In NYC' is what Dat tape says, so I'll go with it. It's a decent representation of me behaving myself and in non-confrontation mode, sticking to a script and playing primarily brand new rap of the era. I remember being kind of proud of the Fantasy Three into De La intro."- DJ Shadow

DJ Shadow Spinning Live In NYC, 1996

This is one of my favourite mixes in recent years, it encompasses so much different music that I love, both old and new. It also finishes a trilogy of mixes that showcase the three EPs that made up 'The Search Engine' album and some of the records that influenced the making of it. Originally aired on Solid Steel in Oct 2011, the 'Magpies, Maps & Moons Reader accompanies the EP of the same name plus much more.
