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 1996Side B

If you've listened to my mixes before, you might have noticed that I often prefer to define only a vague musical spectrum and rarely commit myself to a single genre. Simply because it gives me a lot of leeway when I throw genre boundaries overboard.

“Organitronic” is the theme of my monthly ‘Headz Mix’ for June 2025. A term that, as far as I know, doesn't define an official music genre and only vaguely hints at what it's about... According to MY definition, it's about electronic music with organic components. This could be vocals, recorded instruments, maybe a wooden-sounding snare, percussion, finger snaps, handclaps, or simply the general mood of a track.

For friends of genre designations, I would like to throw in terms such as Electronic, IDM, Future Jazz, Neo-Classical, Broken Beat, Deep Garage and Breakbeat.

- Hope you enjoy this selection -

We Want Funk #39

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...

Tracklisting on Patreon, but if you ask nicely and comment I might ID.. This is an example of what drops every month on patreon.com/RustyBFunkWeaponsAGFA

AGFA - MAY 2025 Patreon Mix

In 1990 i was 18 years old and found myself in the Rave and Nightclub scene here in Perth, Western Australia. I grew up with the music in this mix so it was trip down memory lane to put this one together. This mix though is a little different than my usual mixes, I used an AI stem separator for each track, so each track in this mix is a remix/edit in itself. 30 tracks all up and mixed in key, hope you enjoy the musical journey and the music brings you back some great memories ! x :)

Thanks for the Professional Master, Doc Paul Colin Moody : https://www.facebook.com/doc.moody1 

Pecoe - Rave

One hour Daytoner DJ set in the Hong Kong Ping Pong Club at Leopallooza 2019 featuring some fave funk, soul and ska edits, a few of my own 'shedits' and an Apache themed ending. Big love to James, Jack, Harry and all involved for their hospitality at this gorgeous festival in the Wyldes near Bude, Cornwall (UK).

"Thank you for letting me by myself, again."

DJ Set at Leopallooza 2019

:: DR.BEST ::
DJ and radio host on Radio Z 95.8 Nuernberg/Germany (Radioshows “Limbo Rhythm” and “Headz”).

As DJ he has performed since 1992 in the Franconian surroundings, however, also in Berlin, Cologne, Munich, Portugal, Switzerland, Austria… Moreover he was booked for events such as the IFA International Radio Exhibition Berlin and the biggest European Youth Fair “YOU”, also in Berlin.
Dr.Best himself considers his roots in the Hip Hop Sound of the early 80’s to the mid 90’s, but he also dealt with other styles such as Funk, Soul, Acid Jazz, Trip Hop, Big Beat, House, Drum & Bass and Breakbeat. Over a couple of years he has been known in the German Clubscene as a Breakbeat-DJ, then in 2006, however, his style started to mutate… Styles such as Funk, Soul, Jazz, Hip Hop, Reggae, Latin, Afrobeat and Disco got mixed with his Breakbeat Sound and created a new mixture which cannot be easily tagged any more.
- But actually there is no need to tag it, is it? -
