Features exclusive multi-tracks + excerpts from the upcoming Slimkid3 & DJ-Mark LP.  The Mix CD is free included with the Nu-Mark & Slimkid3 T-shirt available at http://101apparel.com.

In an age of slammin’ superhero crossovers, get ready for a Hip-Hop team-up to beat them all: Slimkid3 & DJ Nu-Mark! With the Delicious Vinyl release of their album-length eponymous collaboration, the legendary Pharcyde MC and Jurassic 5 DJ/producer have created a soulful Hip-Hop soundtrack for the ages.
 
Ever since his time as a founding member of The Pharcyde, Slimkid3 has stood out for his relationship 
raps, both warm-hearted and coolly observant. As an innovative member Jurassic 5, DJ Nu-Mark has long propelled golden era sounds into the future. 
 
"Ding ding! True school is in session!" trumpeted okayplayer.com when Tre & Nu-Mark released their  freebie EP Another Day, Another Dollar in 2011. The duo knew they were onto something good, and  re-upped to create new music. 
 
The new album's standout tracks include "Bouillon" featuring Del and Murs, "King" featuring Diamond D, reggae-fueled summer jam "Bom Bom Fiya" and "I Know, Didn't I", a savvy flip of Dorando's soul classic.
 
Single releases from Slimkid3 & DJ Nu-Mark will come on 45rpm vinyl 7-inch format.
 
Slimkid3 & DJ Nu-Mark will be performing together through the end of 2014. 

DJ Nu-Mark & Slimkid3 - "Tre'd Mark Mix" - Full Mix Stream, T-shirt w/CD available at 101apparel.com

Seeing that I just completed the Slimkid3 & Nu-Mark collaboration, I thought it was appropriate to assemble a mix that highlights both Jurassic 5 and Pharcyde at their best. I dug deep in the vaults and uncovered some never before heard multi tracks, unreleased songs and acapellas from old tapes that needed to see the light of day. This is how I’d like to see all 8 MCs from both groups trade the mic. Enjoy!

Skratch Bastid & The Gaff - SOUL SISTERS, STAND UP! (Part 2 - Good Old Days)

Turntablism: The art of manipulating the sounds on records to create new music.

In the early 90s Hip Hop DJs often found themselves taking a back seat while rappers had the spotlight, but behind the scenes they continued to push the boundaries. By the mid-90s scratching and beat juggling had been taken to a whole new level, enabling turntablist DJs to take centre stage - because what they were doing was completely mind blowing! The world DMC and ITF championships helped to give turntablism a global platform, so for any up and coming DJ learning to scratch, it was an inspirational time. During that period you could argue turntablism redefined the element of DJing as the corner stone of Hip Hop culture. Around 2002 digital DJ equipment like Traktor and Serato became very popular, and nowadays you rarely see turntablists rocking DJ battle sets on a pair of decks with real records. Thats not to say they can’t tear shit up, it’s just the equipment is different. In terms of the golden era of turntablism though, this mix represents where it’s at. Hope you enjoy. Peace.
