Stretch Armstrong

Volume 1 was done about 10 years ago with all the usual suspects in terms of SP-1200 (SP-12) production.  Since I've become more and more of an audio file as of late, I thought I'd dig a little deeper into the SP-1200 catalog since I just love that 12 bit, crunchy sound.  Half the fun of the mix was doing the research of production equipment used in the making of different classic joints to confirm SP-1200 usage.  I used the old "double source" system of verifying whether the 1200 was actually used on different songs or albums.  In other words, if I read/heard two separate interviews where a given producer confirmed using the SP-1200 in some shape or form (whether for the whole beat or just the drums) that song became mix eligible.  As with all of my mixes, quite a bit of time and energy went into crafting this labor of love.  Hope you all enjoy!

SP-1200 Volume 2

Stretch and Bobbito Hot 97 January 1997

This was recorded Live From Boogie Blind's Residence… This is for your listening pleasure.. I definitely asked for my brother's (DJ Boogie Blind) assistance on this one.. "The Art of Diggin'" continues.. This mix is for music lovers, collectors, diggers.. etc.. Hopefully this inspires people to continue on with the saga for collecting vinyl, rare grooves & searching for the perfect jewel.. Love & God Bless…

A Boogie X Don Q - Floyd Mayweather(REMIX)

Basically, I'm a child of 90's hip-hop. I always have been and always will be. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of dope hip-hop on the market today (mainstream and underground), but to me, the eight-year period spanning from 1990 - 1998 was a hip-hop Renaissance that will probably never be duplicated. And DJ Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito Garcia (AKA Cool Bob Love, AKA DJ Cucumber Slice, AKA the ten thousand other nicknames this dude has) were probably two of the most influential people in the game at that time. I'm not gonna go into a long history regarding their show on WKCR, but from 1990 - 1998, during the hours of 1-5 AM every Thursday night / Friday morning, these two, for lack of a better term, "smashed the airwaves" of the New York metropolitan area. Their show was responsible for launching the careers of Nas, Mobb Deep, Big L, Jay-Z, Big Pun, Fat Joe, The Notorious B.I.G., A Tribe Called Quest, The Beatnuts, Black Moon, Redman, The Wu-Tang Clan, and the list goes on and on. Since I was too young during the show's heyday, I've had to feed my addiction for this show by scouring the internets for uploaded tapes from listeners from back in the day. What I did with this mix was try to showcase some of the joints that were spun on their show beginning in 1990 and ending in 1998. I compiled all the tracks to make it seem like you're listening to an actual taping of the show. All of these tracks were played on WKCR at least once (some more than others). I even threw in some of my favorite freestyles and exclusives, which were taken directly from old cassettes. I've got a ton of these old recordings, and it was really difficult to decide what to include/exclude, but hopefully, you'll get a sense of their legendary show and the evolution of classic hip-hop over a legendary eight-year period. Also, shout out to the good peoples at <a href="http://Philaflava.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Philaflava.org</a> for supplying me and the rest of the Stretch &amp; Bob fiends with hundreds of old tapes. Turn that shit up....

Note: I let some of the freestyles run for an extended period since some of them are just too legendary to cut short.

DJ Premier: New York Reality Check 101 (1997)

I was originally working on a D*# mix but I got annoyed with how "clean" the mix was sounding so I abandoned the mix. Being annoyed with how clean the D*# mix was sounding and the general "cleaness" of musical sound these day, I went diggin' through my record collection to find records that would constitute a more raw, authentic sound. The frustrating thing about going through a record collection is that there is very little music that you can't find online through a few google searches. Even though the rarest of rare records can be found online these days, I decided to stick with records that I originally discovered only by buying white labels and looking on the b-side of better known 12" records. I'm sure you can find most (if not all of these joints online, but a lot of the music used on this mix is lost somewhere in the online abyss.  I've got to say that it was a lot of fun going through and finding all of these joints in my collection because all of these records were bought on just a hunch (especially the bootlegs). I've also got to add that for every quality bootleg that made this mix there's at least 3-4 wack bootlegs that I regret buying. I guess that's the fun part of diggin' for records.
