In 2012, some friends of mine on Facebook and Twitter made me aware of an “Old School DJ contest” being held by syndicated radio host Michael Baisden.   The finalists were going to be flown to Dallas to compete live for a winner-take-all contest for a cash prize and to be the DJ for his birthday party.  I wound up missing the entry deadline but listened to some of the mix entries as he played them live on his show.  I’m not big on downing other DJs but going strictly based on what I heard, I kicked myself for not being more timely in my submissions. The rules, as simple as they sound, provided a bit of a creative challenge.  There were to be 3 separate 10-minute mixes of old-school: house, R&B, hip-hop, etc.  I really do have a “lotta damn records” so the challenge for me was to be able to select and weave a handful of REALLY GOOD songs within a 10 minute span (10 minutes goes by QUICKLY!) showcasing my DJ skills/personality with minimal-to-no scratching, absolutely no DJ drops and absolutely no talking on the microphone.   Basically, they wanted to hear that you can actually DJ without the benefit of technology.  I’ve been DJing for over 2 decades – before the technology so it made it a fun project for me and evened out the score if this was to be judged fairly. Now in 2013, I’m being made aware again that Baisden is having this contest – and I’m being told that I more or less “better” enter this year because they know I can win this.   Adding that battery to my back and coming off missing out last year, I try to knock it out the park.  I did my 3 mixes all in one night.  No more than 2 takes on any one of them.  I’m feeling VERY confident that I will get a callback.  Except…..Baisden’s show gets canceled the other week!!  *cue up The Price Is Right Loser music* Ah well, so much for that!  But as a measure of thanks, I wanted to share the SECOND mix I completed with those of you who have and continue to support me.  I don’t DJ for a living or for fame, I do it purely for the art and the love and the history.  Without y’all, I wouldn’t continue this….   http://DaManDL.com http://TheDJLabRadio.com Twitter: @DaManDL Instagram: @DaManDL

Crack - T - West Coast Resurrection Pt.1  (FREE DL)

"Last night I was diggin through my records and played a few tunes from my vinyls. I ended up doing a little mix with mostly "West Coast Classics". 

Don´t front since you will hear a few huge hits like "Next Episode" or "Regulate" or "2 Of Americaz Most Wanted" in this mix - I still consider them not overplayed and all-time favs. BTW does anyone remember Domino´s Ghetto Jam? This used to be a smash im 1993. Snoop´s Doggystyle is still one of my favorite albums of all time! I also sneaked in music by The Geto Boys, Shaq or Biggie... but still very related to typical West Coast 90s Hip Hop. 

This one is mixed with original vinyls as well as Serato since I love to use loops for certain mix routines. Enjoy!" @Crack-T

Oldschool Anthems vol.5

Biggie was and still is my favourite MC ever and I did this “Best of BIG” mixtape a few years ago already –  to be exact in march 2005.

To be honest – I just did it for myself but after a couple of my close friends asked for a copy… I lost the original master disc and never had a backup of the mix on my hard drive. A few days ago a good friend passed me this link to download a cd-rip of my own mix. Man, I was happy… so my friends at @PeopleLikeUs used this one as a podcast as well.

Well, you won´t find to much cuts & tricks on this one, but a lot of his timeless classics, plus a few dope and rare songs, unreleased interviews and live recordings of the G.O.A.T
