Giuliani Era NYC Hip-Hop 1993-2001 mixed by DaManDL of Sixmixx Radio and The DJ Lab Radio.  TOO STREET-LEVEL FOR A TRACKLIST!!

Giuliani Era Hip - Hop - Vol 1

if you love real music of the 70s then you'll love this podcast.   Apologize for the abrupt ending, the radio station server got unexpectedly booted during my last 10 minutes.  (Live show Dec 24, 2011)

70's Soul Mix

recorded live on 107.3 WKCR radio on 10/2/2012. 80s classic after 80s classic!

That 80s Crate!

we're taking it back to the mock necks, apple jacks, bell bottoms, Lucky Strikes, Kools, J&B liquor, Good Humor trucks, "adults-only" basement parties that we used to sneak in, dashikis, Reverend Ike and Flip Wilson Show era.  Something true lovers of RHYTHM and BLUES music (the term "R&B" doesn't do it enough justice) that we were raised on might appreciate.  60s and 70s: Joe Simon, Curtis Mayfield, Deniece Williams, Tyrone Davis, Otis Redding, The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Minnie Riperton, Bobby Womack, Al Green, and plenty more....

Plastic On The Sofa Music (aka 70s Soul Mix Part II)

We do NOT celebrate or condone the monster.  He's where he deserves to be and our hearts go out to his victims.  Not a dime of this mix or stream goes to him.  

But this is a no-judgement zone for those who enjoy the catalog and wanted me to put my DJ spin on it.

The Tragedy of R. Kelly (full)

We do NOT celebrate or condone the monster.  He's where he deserves to be and our hearts go out to his victims.  Not a dime of this mix or stream goes to him.  

But this is a no-judgement zone for those who enjoy the catalog and wanted me to put my DJ spin on it.

This half is more geared towards the more uptempo section of his catalogue and the two-stepping classics.

The Tragedy of R. Kelly (Part 2)

The Best Of Gangstarr (R.I.P. Guru)

it's that era of growth, artistry, purity and for the love of the culture and the music: 1986-1994 (with more emphasis on the 1986-1990 era). Much love to my Bronx 228th Street family, the Class of 1991 Walton High School and Olinville Class of 1988 on this one!! recorded live on 107.3 WKCR Online Radio, Tuesday February 21, 2012 

DaManDL - Golden Age Of Hip-Hop Pt. 1

every other remix of this new NY anthem I heard was "meh" AF.  So....I had to get in The Lab and cook something up that I thought was a better fit for these streets.

This Is New York (DaManDL Remix)

a very important mix from my archives for several reasons:

#1 - I completed this and released it the night after he passed away in 2009, while still numbed from the news

#2 - before the weekend was over, this podcast was posted and listened to in over 20 countries.  It eventually ranked in the top 300 podcasts in the world.

#3 - this was maybe only my 3rd or 4th official mix after converting to Serato and being retired from DJing for nearly 5 years.

That being said, I wanted to re-upload this so it can continue to live forever.

Michael Jackson Memorial & Celebration

The culture that went from being a “fad” to being a part of everything. 
We’re talking breakbeats.  We’re breakdancing.  We’re talking fact vs fiction.  We’re talking influences.  We’re talking movies and music videos.  We’re talking about misinformed documentaries and claims to who TRULY started Hip-Hop.  We’re pulling out some vinyl.  We’re talking DJ history.  We’re talking about beatboxing.  We’re talking about fashion.  We’re giving flowers to the ladies of Hip-Hop.  We’re talking The Greatest Groups.  The Greatest MCs.  The Greatest Beats.  The most important songs of the genre.  We’re playing West Coast.  We’re playing rare and unheard material.  Edutainment in its purest form.
Hip-Hop didn’t invent anything but Hip-Hop reinvented EVERYTHING!!

The 50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop

mixed live on Only1FM Online Radio, June 16, 2011. In the spirit of the great Larry Levan, we pay tribute to this legendary NYC hotspot with the kind of tunes that used to tear the place down!

Paradise Garage Classics

one of my better R&B mixes...recorded live on 107.3 WKCR Radio on October 11, 2011.  Those smoothed out grown cuts to the party warm-up cuts!! featuring Mary J. Blige, Changing Faces, the very underrated Faith Evans, Brandy, Horace Brown, Groove Theory, R. Kelly, Aaliyah, and others. Perfect for the ride of for work...well it's slightly NSFW (not safe for work...language on a couple of songs)

Smoothed Out To Go Steppin'

this one is for my House heads....but in order to truly understand House music, you gotta get in touch with where it comes from!  From 54 to The Warehouse.  From Tom Moulton & Nicky Siano to Frankie Knuckles and Todd Terry.  From Salsoul to the Soul Clap.

So Disrespectful (Part 2)

Hip-Hop is not dead..it's just lost its way.   Instead of just complaining and downing the kids' interpretation of what they think Hip-Hop is, let's entertain and educate (EDUTAINMENT).

Volume 1: covering the recorded era of 1979 to 1982

originally mixed in 2009.

Hip-Hop 101:  Respect The Foundation (Vol 1.  1979 - 1982)

If you don't understand The Tunnel and what BIg Kap meant to the last great era of NYC Hip-Hop, take a listen....

The Tunnel (R.I.P. Big Kap)

The logo says it all.  If you don't understand, let me give you the dialogue.  Early to mid-1980s, NYC.  When black radio was black radio, not "Urban Contemporary".  When we had real DJs and remixers and programmers like Tony Humphries, the Latin Rascals, Shep Pettibone holding down real clubs like the Roxy, The Shadow, Nell's, The Red Parrot,  etc.  We heard everything.  We respected what came before us while forging a new path for ourselves.

Listen to this and understand why every other genre can have their artists and pioneers from back in the day go on tour and make money and be revered, except today's generation.  We're haters, we're old heads, we're broke and mad because the industry screwed us before it became a business and opened the door for the talentless to benefit.

I just wanted to take it back in my DJ retirement to reflect on how it used to be.  You couldn't be a DJ because you liked music and went to Guitar Center but buy some gear and decided to call yourself a DJ.  I needed to take it back...it's therapeutic.

If you're familiar with my DJ style, you know I had to do more than the average bear.  On the 20th anniversary of us losing the King of New York, it wasn't enough to play the same 15-20 Biggie songs that you'll hear on every other tribute mix.  So with that being said, these 2-and-a-half hours represents the last Biggie recorded mix I'll ever do because there's nothing left that can be done.

That Philadelphia Soul Sound.  Thom Bell.  Gamble and Huff.  Dexter Wansel.  Norman Harris.  MFSB.  

When I started recording, I really didn't think it was going to be 3+ hours long.  But I got into that smoothed-out pocket to start.  Then got to toe-tapping.  Archie Bell & the Drells.  Jean Carn.  The Jones Girls.  Some B-sides.  Some album cuts.  Some 45s.  And how can you forget the slow jams?  

And I still didn't play everything I had in my head!

Enjoy!

Think (DaManDL 2018 Remix)

Minus a small couple of blips at the 21-22 minute mark....(blame analog to digital conversion)...this is one of my proudest moments.  It was necessary.  I hope I did the master right on this one.  Over 3 hours and I still had records to spare of his catalogue.
