DJ Sheep: Biz Markie Megamix: 2011 Australian Tour Promo
Recorded Live: Friday 3rd June 2011

It's unfortunately timely that I'm re-sharing this mix. We truly lost a great one today, Biz Markie, the cornerstone of humour in hip-hop with his larger than life cartoon-ish personality and demeanour. The B-I-Z's discography, legacy and history in hip-hop ran deep and his crates and music knowledge ran even deeper. 

I feel extremely humbled & blessed in hindsight to have spent time with Biz Markie in Australia, having both shared the stage with him in Sydney as well as spending a couple of days hanging out in Brisbane together with his brother DJ Cool V. We did what Biz does best and hit Chinatown in Brisbane for Chinese food, went diggin' for records and vintage toys and nerded out for many hours sharing, disecting, politicin' and listening to raer breakbeats, grooves, raps, acapellas and stems. It's one of the very few times I was absolutely geeked out meeting one of my heroes. There's been too many times when I've learned  that my childhood rap heroes are actually jerks, even more-so with the advent of social media. There are too many hilarious stories to tell and memories of that tour which will have to wait for another time.

This short but sweet 14-minute promo "mega-mix" was done in one take on two decks and a mixer at the request of the promoter of the down under tour. I kept it simple and just blended 7 of my favourite Biz tracks. There's obviously some deeper diggin' to be done in Biz's extensive catalog and I'm sure there'll be some great tribute mixes forthcoming but I kept this one as is because it's from a time and a place that hopefully some others can appreciate.

Nobody Beats the Biz. Never. Rest in Peace and my most genuine condolences to his family and loved ones.

peace. DJ Sheep

DJ SHEEP'S SPRING BREAKZ # 1
Recorded Live: September 9th, 2014

Welcome to the first instalment of this season's mixes titled SPRING BREAKZ!

It's been over a month since I've been in the lab and it took me a little while to get warmed up this evening, so bear with this as  it's my most ambitious effort yet. As the weather starts to heat up, I thought I should get that heat out the crates too! Here's a list of the genres and things that I managed to lock down in 73 minutes of the wheels of steel:

Disco, Funk, Soul, Soundtracks, Reggae, Library Records, Dirty Funky Soul 45s, $1 Bin Classics, Drum Breaks, a * TONNE * of used and unused samples, Private Press secret squirrels, Experimental/Electronic stuff, Blaxploitation radio spots, Chinese TV commercials, Australian Punk, Psych, Fuzz, Jazz, Latin, Video Game music, Stereo Test records, Pinky Violence raers, B-Boy Breaks, an Idris Muhamad (R.I.P.) "extraction" from my man BAPT in Paris, a couple of seldom played Nas joints, a Lakim Shabazz freestyle, some live remix action with Rakim, Fat Joe, 50 Cent, The Game, Alkaholiks and Percee P all gettin' the live "SHEEPMIX" treatment (check around the 34 minute mark). As always, I gave this mix the world treatment with special joints from India, Australia, Fiji, New Zealand, Taiwan, Africa, Israel, South America, Thailand, China, Italy, Russia, Hungary and from all over Europe and the world. David Axelrod sits nicely besides James Last on this mix… Finally, J-Zone laced me with his new "Lunch Breaks" record, so I cut up a handful of those breaks throughout the mix; see if you can tell his drums from the 70's joints, it's tough!

Thanks to everyone who supported the "Winter Bluntz" trilogy, This mix was definitely a test of stamina on the brain and on the decks, please enjoy and all I ask in return is to please keep spreading the good word throughout your networks and holla if you got anything good cookin'; I work and I travel.

Thanks to GRNDGD, egotrip, Unkut, Ryan Proctor, cratesofjr, pipomixes, all the other blogs, listeners, followers and my people worldwide for showin' love, I appreciate you all. peace. DJ Sheep.

Spring Breakz: Episode II

## BULLETPROOF CRATES RECORDINGS PRESENT:

ELECTRO ACUPUNCTURE: an electrofied b-boy xperience

[ DJ SHEEP'S DEBUT MIXTAPE FROM 1998 featuring: 80's West Coast Electro, Miami Bass, Electro Funk, Freestyle, Scratching, Vocoders, Egyptian Lover, Star Wars samples and more! ]

Before I was a "turntablist", "digger", "battle DJ" or any of that stuff, I held it down the turntables at shows for some of the illest b-boy crews of Australia: Rapid Fire, Wicked Force, B-Boy Allstars and my own Cyber Force and Skill @ Will crews.

I travelled with "Rapid Fire" and repped for Australia at the "Battle of the Year" also holding it down that next weekend in Holland at "Back To Planet Rock" with Big Daddy Kane and Phife Dawg in the house!

My education about this form of music came from the amazing "Streetsounds Electro" series of records [thanks Morgan Khan]. I was lucky enough to get the box-set in a trade with a pen-pal in the UK back in the day. Inspired by that series, in 1998, with a humble crate of records, I recorded this tape and handmade 400 copies to start my mixtape hustle. Thank you to everyone who bought one and SALUTE! to anyone who kept it all these years #RAER.

At the time this mix was recorded my life was influenced by a cyberpunk state of mind, star wars, vocoders, taped up pieces of cardboard, tracksuits, headspins, graffiti, tuxan and watching some of the most amazing acrobatically impossible shit ever! It has always been a honour to have a front row seat as a b-boy DJ.

Seeing as this is still my most "requested" material here in Brisbane  and considered a "classic" by some. I'd like to finally offer this mix with a track list. To all b-boys worldwide, continue to push the boundaries and find new music to break to.

BONUS: Entertaining shout-outs from a young DJ Disk, A-Trak and DJ Craze dropping' some SERIOUS old school Australian slang ya' wanka!

SPRING BREAKZ - EPISODE III

Recorded Live: November 11th 2014

Internetz, come wander through the mind of a beat obsessed scratch maniac. This freshly recorded mix is packed with audible twists and turns. 35 minutes all you need to dig it.

Wu-Tang go 8-bit and meet the Super Mario Brothers. Biggie & Mic Geronimo hit the Italian library section Pharcyde gets a jazzy make-over and T-La Rock goes very mellow: "everything's fixed, now listen to the mix," dark deep jazz, funk, action, drama, razor sharp soul, gritty disco, libraries, rock, electronic/experimental/avant, mellow grooves and heavy drums. I dug deep into the archives but dropped classic samples throughout to keep ya'll reminiscing. Two cover versions of Bob James seminal crate classic, 'Nautilus,' vintage live Run DMC, Puffy and B.I.G. and some radio spots too.

peace. DJ $HEEP

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

Australian Breaks & Beats: Worldwide FM Mix

GRANDGOOD.COM: (http://grnd.gd/2CmEilU) This collection of music focuses on the independent voice in hip-hop, where the tension of selling records to mass markets tends to be less pronounced. This doesn't exclusively mean unsigned and you'll note some music from career musicians. But even with long term artists the songs we selected felt less encumbered. Because of my heavy hand you'll also have to deal with an east coast bias but yo that ain't necessarily a bad thing all the time, is it?

Thanks to <a href="http://www.djsheep.com/">DMC champion DJ Sheep</a> you can listen to the <a href="https://soundcloud.com/grandgood/grandgoodcom-standout-rap-2017-mixed-by-dj-sheep/">professionally mixed version</a> featuring 40 or so of the 55 tracks listed below, recorded live in one take on 2 turntables and a mixer at the Bulletproof Crates lab in Brisbane, Australia on New Years Day 2018. You can also stream a warm <a href="https://www.mixcloud.com/grndgdcsstte/grandgood-standout-rap-of-2017-audiocast/">@cv_ tape version</a> and thereafter you might recall what it was like dubbing tapes for your close friends in '88. We also have playlists on soundcloud and youtube you can hit shuffle on (yea we know, but Spotify doesn't have most of the music).

Goes without saying but special thanks to the artists, we appreciate what you do. The Hip-Hop community suffered <a href="http://grandgood.com/category/qepd/rip/">great loss in 2017</a> and not enough can be said about the lost talent. At the same time, enthusiasm from young heads and old heads alike keeps it going. Lest we forget, many founding artists, like Coke La Rock pictured above, <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/155302481@N07/albums/72157664169668918/with/24536074467/">continue to walk among us</a>.  So again, big up to all the artists but also the rest of the community of listeners, show promoters, podcasters, writers.... 

Special shout to Dj Sheep for lending his hand, literally. Peace to Ming for capturing stunning images of the legends throughout the year. And of course @CV_ for his dedication and influence. Participation is critical. Thank goodness for contemporary rap.
