CUTS THE MUSTARD (anniversary edition)

Something from the dusty archives - my first proper mixtape! Recorded in late 2001 using two mini-discs  (because I didn’t have a computer). Not long after, someone I knew (who had a PC) burned a few CDs to hand out, and off the back of that I got my first proper gig doing a warm up set for The High & Mighty / Smutt Peddlers (Mr Eon, Copyright & Cage) at The Cavern Club in Exeter. Got to thank Lord Louis for putting me on - what a night that was! Anyway, enough of the reminiscing. Be under no illusion, this mix ain’t smooth or technical. It’s simply full of roughneck badass underground rap being crudely cut up on the 1s and 2s. That said, If you like rugged 90s hip-hop you’re in for a treat - It bangs hard!

CUT CHEMIST MEETS SHORTKUT VERSION 1.1

Turntablist Extraordinaire @dj-yoda-uk graced the Rabbit Hole's 'FUNKINGHAM PALACE' - performing a bespoke 'GET DOWN  DJ SET' filled with Funk / Hip-Hop and lots of samples!

"Here's a live recording of my set at Glastonbury 2017, keeping it pretty tightly themed to The Get Down - i.e. early 1980s NYC block party music! This was great fun - loved sticking to the theme, and by 20 minutes in it felt more like we were in the Bronx in 1984 by than a tent in a field in Somerset! Excuse some of the dodgy mixing moments, this was all live! Enjoy, and wear full adidas tracksuit to appreciate entirely  :) "

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.
