Hip-Hop MultiMixes

BobaFatt BBC6 Block Party Mixes

100+ tracks by De La Soul in the mix..

This mix was originally made to celebrate the reissues of De La’s back-cat, and broadcast on BBC 6 Music a month ahead of the March 3rd release date.

Just over a week after this mix was broadcast, Dave, aka Trugoy the Dove, aka Plug Two, tragically passed away. A few weeks before release. 

The first half of this is the original 40-minute version of the broadcast mix.
A 27-minute edit was broadcast Saturday 4th Feb 2023, for the Block Party mix on The Huey Show.

The second half is a bonus 40-minute selection of 15 more faves - tracks that I feel needed time to breath; some that felt a bit dark for Saturday morning radio, and a few where Dave’s bars hit a little more poignantly now. A bittersweet time. 

Recorded Saturday 4th March 2023, the day after De La day.

Salutes to Posdnuos, Maseo, Prince Paul & the Native Tongues.
Rest in power, Dave.

De La Soul forever.
Stay Plug Tunin’.

Dedicated to Dave Jolicoeur & Don Newkirk.

Jazzmatazz: Jazz Hop Block Party | BBC 6 Music

This mix is all about education. What you have in this mix are some of my favorite hip-hop records (well, Alicia Keys isn't really hip-hop, but whatever, Kanye did his thing on that track) paired back-to-back with their original samples. Uncovering original samples and mixing them with their hip-hop counterparts is something I've been obsessed with for a while. This is what I originally intended to do on my radio show on WNYU, but I ended up just playing strictly original jazz, funk, and soul tracks that have been sampled over the years. Some of these joints you'll probably recognize, and some you may not. But, at the end of the day, hopefully, it will open your eyes on how some of the illest producers in the game can re-create and flip great, and sometimes mediocre tracks, into some amazing and timeless hip-hop. Enjoy.

TY Block Party Mix | BBC 6 Music

40 years ago saw the release of the first volume of major label pop compilations that quickly became a household name, and remain so to this day, 'Now That's What I Call Music!' 

As a kid in the 80s, these albums got a ton of plays from me & my family; at home, in the car, to the walkman soundtracking my walk (or run!) to/from school.

The first 9 volumes were on vinyl or tape only, appearing on CD from No.10 onwards. They were always cheaper than buying loads of singles anyway. We didn't have internet playlists back then. If you wanted to hear a variety of the latest big hits, there was the radio, mixtapes or compilations like Now. So this is an internet radio mixtape about a compilation. 

Now! was basically the UK successor to the K-Tel / Ronco / TOTP "as seen on TV" type comps & have seen off a bunch of rivals over the years, in terms of brand recognition. They are undisputedly the most successful pop compilation series of all time, across the world.

This is a mix of 50 tracks over 100 minutes, plucked from Vol's 1-10 (Nov 1983 - Nov  1987).
A random selection of feel-good mid-80's nostalgia - pop, soul and rock chart smashes.
Some would say guilty pleasures, but standardly I feel no guilt. 

This could have been a million hours long, so I set myself some selection rules...

Criteria:
- All tracks taken from UK releases of Vol.1 (28th Nov 1983) to Vol. 10 (23rd Nov 1987) only
- I haven't included any tracks featured on my previous Xennials 80's mixes
- Nothing from spin-off comps (Now Dance etc), or ones released later on
- No more than one track from each artist, whether solo or in a group
- No re-issues (lots of older tracks charted & were featured on these comps)
- I capped it at 50 tracks precisely for this mix, for brevity. There may need to be another…

Happy birthday Now!
