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. "

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

On our (maybe marginally spooky) episode 13, we sit down with Pinheads Mark Lutsock, Evan McBride, and Adam Jenkins! The guys tell us about their "Come To Pinball" moment and diving into the pinball repair and operation world. Evan also dishes about what it's like to be THE Shorty's pinball operator, we tease The One To Beat, play Name That Game, and get it all done in under an hour! Bola Salvada!

13 - Pinheads!

We tackle the wide world of virtual pinball with Michael Warfield and returning guest Aaron McAbee. Corrections Department: Your faithful editor and co-host is aware we may have confused our Tom Arnolds and misidentified a wide-body or two in Last Pin Standing. Whoops! Stay tuned for a conversation with Bowen Kerins, which we mention in this episode!

22 - Virtual Pinball

The Northwest Pinball Arcade Show is upon us! Dan Halligan swings by and gives us the scoop on what this year's show as well as the evolution of the NWPAS over the years. Graham really stumps Kayla and Dan with Name that Game -- can he stump you, too?

28 - NWPAS Preview with Dan Halligan

Kayla and Graham are back from vacation and break down their respective experiences, including Kayla's Pinburgh competition and east jam-packed coast travels and Graham's single pinball experience on the Iberian Peninsula. We also check out the hot title track to the lost Porky's-esque 80's cash grab, Pinball Summer!

The Skill Shot Pincast

33- Pinball Summer 2: Homeless Boogaloo

In 2009, I consulted for, and appeared in, Activision's DJ Hero video game.   As part of my involvement, I performed at quite a few industry events and eventually did a couple of club dates.  Some of these sets were more rehearsed than others, and the quality varied.  This one, recorded live on Halloween night at a KCRW benefit, was far and away my favorite of the bunch...both in terms of technical display and song selection.  I'll post some of the other recorded sets later, there's some nice moments along the way.- DJ Shadow
