Released in spring of 1996, The Battle Arena on 4 Turntables Mixtape by DJ Hype & DJ Domain, back then also known as The In Ya Ear Soundlab, sets the vibe of the mid 90s era in Hip Hop. Remastered for today's listening pleasure. Going way back, back into time. Enjoy!

Hype & Domain - The Battle Arena Mixtape 1996 Side A

There was a time when I owned 4-5 copies of Sly Stone's "FRESH" album, it was so vitally important to me. I remember hearing it for the first time in the 90s and it blew my mind. I preached the Sly gospel since to many friends of my age in the years since. That album will always be a cornerstone of musical history and importance to me, and helped me on my record digging journey forward. So many people have covered his songs over the years, in so many funky and creative ways, so I've included a number of those covers on this episode, along with some of my favorite originals of his. RIP the legend Sly Stone, thank you so much for all the beautiful music!

Jazzie B Radio Show | Back II Life | 8th June

Presenting the first of three choice chunks of our Kings Day DJ set in Amsterdam this year. (Kings Day, if you don't know, is a national holiday in NL during which the whole place turns decidedly orange, drinks a whole lot of beer and goes nuts.) 

For the last few years, as part of the festivities, we've been hosting a little secret location sound system party during which we can cut loose and play an extended DJ set covering a whole bunch of bases - sometimes with friends guesting, sometimes (like this year) flying solo for the whole day, dropping as many solid personal favourites as we can along the way, natuurlijk.... 

So here's the first chunk, from early in the day, warming things up with a soulful, skanking, boom-bapping selection of edits, remixes, favourites and classics - hope you enjoy!

Download will pop up in a couple of weeks on the mailing list: https://kleptones.com/pages/contact.html

Or you can get it right now (along with Part 2 & 3 of this mix) if you become one of our awesome support team - Join up on Patreon or Liberapay, and become one of the folks that always gets everything (and more) way before anyone else...

Kings Day Amsterdam 2025 (Part 1)
