It's that classic rap sh*t from Jurassic...

I'm hearing a bunch of J5 beats... precursors?

Thank you for sharing this mix with the world <3

Solid Steel (2nd August) It's another special show as our own DJ Moneyshot presents another classic album deconstructed for the Solid Steel 25th Anniversary. Public Enemy's 'It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back' is also 25 years old and to honour both occasions DJ Moneyshot shows us once again why he's the mixtape king with the career-best offering, Solid Steel and the Hour of Chaos. Over 60 blistering minutes he takes in all the beats, breaks, samples and spoken word nuggets that made this seminal Bomb Squad production such an explosive release. Amongst the vast stack of tracks in the mix, expect words of wisdom from Louis Farrakhan, exclusive interviews with Hank Shocklee, and all the soul, rock 'n' roll and early rap tracks that went into making up P.E's (if not hip-hop's) finest album. If you enjoy the mix, why not read Moneyshot's exhaustive feature on the album in the pages of this month's Future Music magazine?

Solid Steel Radio Show 2/8/2013 Part 1 + 2 - DJ Moneyshot

Hey folks, here's my Take Me With You Mix uploaded once again.  Enjoy and think of me when you're on your next Tropical vacation....or just "Take Me With You".

Take Me With You

The main reason the Amu Nu cookbook was created is for the 2 hour Middle Eastern mix that starts in 1969 and ends in 2024. The AMU NU mix covers funky joints from Turkey, Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Armenia and many other Middle Eastern regions. I’ve included several record walls of rare Middle Eastern records throughout the book for my collectors out there!

Funk Off Mega Mix

Superb 1998 underground hip-hop mixtape from DJs Vadim and Prime Cuts, highly highly recommended. 
I really can't do this justice but there's a worthy write-up here http://witness-this.com/sound/vadimprimecuts-architects-of-the-great/ - to paraphrase, "DJ Vadim & Primecuts did not just record a mixtape. They delivered a sound sculpture."

I encourage folks to identify any piece you can.. Ill help with the hard ones.

In the last few months, I've been excavating old cassettes from the "Mom's House" era. This installment is a simple sample tape from 1993. Sample tapes are what I used to make in order to remember which loop ideas I liked as I listened to records I either just got or had sitting around for a while. Most are just one element. There are a couple of layered arrangements as well which means I had high hopes they would turn into something. Happy to say a couple of these samples found nice homes as you may recognize.

Mom's House:  Sample Tape 12/93

As the year’s challenges grow, I find myself more attracted to music as escapism. These are collection of songs which help me float away to another place (and a few that just have me nodding my head). I hope they hit you right.

Recorded in 1 take with 2 turntables and some scratches overdubbed.
