Liner Notes:
"This Was A Mix I Did While Cutting Class Back In 1995 And Will Be The First Release From My Studio’s Archive Series. This Mix Was Originally Released On Cassette As “Rare Equations” Through A Mix Tape Company Called Hip Hop Vibes Along With “Sick Experiment,” “Theories Not Yet Proven” And “The Diabolical” Which Came Before It. However This Mix Was My Favourite Because It Showcased Mixing All Kinds Of Music, Not Just The Latest Rap Singles Coming Out At The Time. So Sit Back And Check Out How Mix Tapes Were Done The Hard Way... On My Half Inch 8 Track Recorder (R.I.P.) And Listen To Some Cool Drops, Some Phone Taps, And Good Blends.
“It’s The Livin’ Roughness.”
Special Thanks to The Beat Market For The Title. "

The Soft Sell..
This is a live all 45 mix made with one turntable and a loop pedal. It was constructed for Red Bull's 45 night on October 27 2008 in LA. This mix includes some cutting room floor ideas from The Hard Sell (DJ Shadow and I on 8 turntables and two loop pedals) and elements from what would later be part of my one turntable/loop pedal live mix CD "Sound Of The Police", which is out now.
Enjoy!

P.S. The end is a train wreck!!!

Joined by my Jurassic 5 partner, DJ Numark and A Stable Sound alumni, Mike Styles, we reminisce on 20+ years of friendship and 30+ years of inspiration. We share personal stories, play super exclusive material from my own personal archive and nerd out on the genius that is BIZ MARKIE

Parallel to the current Renegades of Rhythm Tour with Cut Chemist and DJ Shadow paying tribute to Afrika Bambaataa and his legendary record collection, Cut Chemist drops the timely "Mix By Jimmy".

Take a peak into the exclusive material from hip hop pioneer DJ Afrika Bambaataa.  "Mix By Jimmy" features recordings Bambaataa had pressed to acetate for spinning live at shows in the late 70's and early 80's. This mix includes entirely unreleased material along with demo versions of hits like "Looking For The Perfect Beat," "Renegades of Funk" and "Planet Rock. "
Listen and take a trip through the deepest part of the most important music collection of our time.

Mix By Jimmy

2024 marks my 40th anniversary of DJing. I made a mix to commemorate it with a lot of my favorite records I started out with. Joining me on scratches is none other than the incredible DJ IQ. Enjoy this 30 minute excursion into the music that made me want to be a DJ back in 1984

Here is a cassette I found of scratch and dialogue ideas for what would be Lesson 6 the following year. Its crude and in real time meaning not edited for the A.D.D. impaired. Have fun with this time capsule as we celebrate the 20 year anniversary of Lesson 6: The Lecture. 

Cut Chemist presents Lesson 6: The Lecture EP. Remastered for 2016 this release includes his Cut's mid-nineties opus in its original form from the original session multi-tracks with all elements intact. The original track itself is sometimes confused for the 1999 major label "watered down" rerelease. Also included is "Lesson 6: Instrumental (DIY Version)" minus the cuts and dialogue plus "Lesson 6: The Sketch" a raw and sometimes crude, unedited 15-minute practice tape that became the blueprint for this monumental lesson. 'Lesson 6' has become a spring board not only for the cut-n-paste style associated with Cut Chemist's approach to production but a feel for Jurassic 5's music as an eclectic and inventive whole.

Siesta (demo)
"This is the demo version of the song Storm featuring Edan and Mr. Lif. 
In the 11th hour of making The Audience's Listening, I swapped the music out from this funky break beat to a psychedelic post punk drum machine.  At the time I was looking to reinvent myself and I saw this as the perfect opportunity to do so.  I couldn't be happier with how the final product turned out.  It's fun to go back and listen to what Edan and Lif actually recorded their verses to. This is more of a "classic" Cut Chemist production that one might recognize from the late 90s/early 2000s." -Cut Chemist

THE AUDIENCE'S FOLLOWING will be released on July 11th, 2016 on the ten year anniversary of Cut's debut album, THE AUDIENCE'S LISTENING.  This follow-up is filled with never before heard music, alternate versions, instrumentals and outtakes from the original 2006 session reels. 

"It's the follow up and the audience is still following and listening and ... whatever else"

"The Audience's Following" is a 10 year anniversary fan club edition version of "The Audience's Listening." 
I like to call this the bizzaro version follow up to 'Audience' as it features songs that never made the cut and demo versions of songs that did. There are also b-sides from vinyl singles plus a special mix of the original song sampled for "What's The Altitude" by Curtis Knight. 
Have fun listening to the album that was almost released 10 years ago. 
Happy 7/11 everyone! Slurp slurp!

Addictive feat. Hymnal

O Jardim
In 2002 I took my first trip to Brazil. I was given the opportunity to record live musicians to a composition of samples I had been sitting on for a few years. I would later carve these sessions into a composition known as The Garden. 
Here is the original session of musicians playing to the the sampled music before the song was fully realized.

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.
