During our takeover on Polaroid Radio throughout October and November, we are delivering shows, playlists and music 24/7 on the Iris channel, inspired by the pages of Wax Poetics.

We reached out to our community to share a 60 minute mix with us every week.

Week 4 theme was Dollar Finds: Hits and Oddities from the bins

This winning mix is by DJ Sire who's sound is 'a mix of soulful music; from r&b, classics, electronic, to sounds from around the world.' Currently based in London, he has a show on Voices Radio, a podcast titled Inspirations and can be found DJ’ing at Soho House.

After the success of Matt Baila's first mix for Rook, he's back for a second round and this one may be even better! Masterful with the 45s, Matt Baila is one of the finest vinyl DJs that's graced the shop. For his second set, he takes you through some rare funk cuts, soul and latin gems and a hint of reggae to keep you guessing!

Matt Baila [Funk / Soul / Reggae Vinyl 45s DJ Set Vinyl Mix]

There have been several sources of inspiration that have really kept me checking for new music the last few years. Madlib's post D*&#a (06) production, future beats producers like Ras G and Dibia$e, and the many quality releases from labels like ReDef Records, Mellow Music Group, and Street Corner Music.  All of the quality music from the aforementioned artists/labels (among a host of others) have fueled ideas for new mixes. Among the array of quality releases, nothing has tickled my fancy quite like the ascension of Roc M*#$iano. Roc Marci's music is the quintessential example of old becoming new. There's nothing new about stripped down, loop-based production sprinkled with grimy raps. However, the way in which Marciano does it and the timing in which it is being done, make this old tried and true combination very refreshing. As much I tried to resist doing this mix because I considered it low hanging fruit, I could only resist for so long.  The music is just too good and I like Roc's catalog too much to have not made this mix.

This mix was completed six months ago and has been sitting on the shelf collecting dust ever since. I held off on releasing the mix because I thought another Marci album was going to drop during the fourth quarter of 2014 (as was done with his three previous albums during the last two years) and I wanted to time the mix's release with Roc's latest album. No such luck and I can't sit on this mix any longer because too much time has passed since I released my last mix.  So here you all go. Enjoy it because I'm not sure when the next mix is coming. Not to be confused, I'm always working on a new mix. Whether it's thinking of new concepts or themes, brainstorming songs and sequences, or the actual mixing of a mix; I'm always working on the next mix.  However, my process is getting slower and my time more limited. Please enjoy it until the next one because if the last few months have taught me anything it's that "next" is not always guaranteed.

## BULLETPROOF CRATES PRESENTS:

DJ SHEEP: AUSTRALIAN BREAKS & BEATS: VOLUME 1
Debuted on Worldwide FM: September 20th 2017 

After almost 2 decades of deliberation and painfully listening to "textbook" "Aussie" mixes from DJ's who aren't DJs and rappers & diggeurs who were suddenly DJs, I decided it was time I delved into the world famous Bulletproof Crates and specifically into the Aussie section to let heads know what's really up in the Antipodean crates when it comes to diggin' from a beat head perspective.

Here's 53 minutes of heavy hittin' top tier jazz, funk, soul, disco, drum breaks, post punk, electronics and some face meltin' cover versions. All cut up live in one take, by an actual DJ; break mix style with turntablist skills, on 2 turntables at the Bulletproof Lab in Brisbane on August 30th 2017.

Shouts to Giles Peterson and Mike Who for premiering the mix on Worldwide FM and a courteous fuck you to all the bullshit "labels" and record stores reissuing stuff that Aussie diggaz been diggin' before it was a #hashtag — dig under the radar and stop instagram vinyl circle jerkin' each other off — in the timeless words of DJ Premier, "ya'll are violating straight up and down".

Respect to everyone diggin' off social media who stay gritty in them dollar bins. Props to Salvos, Vinnies, Lifeline, Red Cross, RSPCA and every op shop still pricing their #vinyls for a buck or under.

peace. DJ Sheep
