So this is a mix I was asked to do for a house party that it turns out I'm not even going to, but if I say I'm going to do something, best believe I will...

The theme is simply party vibe music that the missus and I enjoy, with plenty of mashup mayhem of course. Special shouts to Mr Blennd @user9398836 and Merking 9-5 @getmerkedbruv. Loved doing this one :)

Marc Hype X Mr Thing - Live at DIG DEEPER Berlin

'Freak the Funk' is an extended re-recording of the interval mix I played at 2022's Hatherleigh Carnival between the two sets played by local indie rockers 'The Wreckords'. DJing after a band is always a challenge, especially if you're a hip hop DJ facing a crowd that have been whipped up into a frenzy by a band playing uptempo classic indie covers for the past hour. Unprepared and desperately flicking through my box looking for an accessible launch record, I pulled out Jimi Hendrix's 'Crosstown Traffic' and its sample borrowing UK cousin 'I'm Ready', before cutting into the Nas classic 'Hip Hop is Dead' and War's 'Me and Baby Brother'. From that point I was on a roll - working through a stack of raw 60s r&b and funk before breaking back into hip hop with 45 Live's release of the previously lost Outlaw Posse cut 'Living in Hackney', purely selected because after a few pints 'Hackney' sounds not too dissimilar to 'Hath'leigh', twisting the track into an unintentional rural anthem!

I've no doubt that the majority of the dancers would have preferred a straight-up indie rock set, but by the time I dropped Daytoner's Wiseguys-apeing 'Ooh Lalo' they were well and truly won over. And then the band came on again and smashed it out of the park.

Anyway, I'd been working on the bar all evening prior to my set and was a few pints in myself, so I couldn't recall exactly what else I played during the intermission, but this mix pretty much covers what I do remember. Although I'm pretty sure I dropped Back by Dope Demand, White Lines and Super Fly at some point, which didn't make it into this version. Recorded straight from the mixer in a single take for that authentic live vibe, raw and uncut, this is rock 'n' roll soul!

DJ Prime Cuts // Soul, Funk & Hip Hop Vinyl DJ Set


This is an extended version of a mix broadcast on BBC 6 Music, 22nd Feb 2025, celebrating the first phase of Wu-Tang Clan solo & side projects, three decades later.

At the end of 1993 we entered the 36 Chambers. In the period following, before Wu-Tang Clan's second LP, the solo projects of the hip hop killa bees really took flight, initially with the RZA's side-project Gravediggaz, and Method Man's debut LP 'Tical' in 1994. Things really heated up in March 1995, with the 'Return to the 36 Chambers' from the late ODB, quickly followed by Raekwon's 'Only Built 4 Cuban Linx' in Summer and GZA's sophomore album 'Liquid Swords' in Winter, culminating with Ghostface Killah's 'Ironman' in 1996. 30 years on, BobaFatt mixes up a selection of 36 beats from these six Staten Island albums, Block Party style.

Nb: Parents, even though this one's extended it still includes clean versions throughout, because Wu-Tang is for the children, after all.

36 Chambers of WU Block Party (Directors Cut) | BBC 6 Music

Last week was the 50th anniversary of Fleetwood Mac's self-titled 10th album; released July 11th 1975. It was the first to feature the US duo Lindsey Buckingham (guitars / vocals) & Stevie Nicks (vocals), who joined two of the original members, drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie, along with his then-partner, the late Christine McVie (keys / vocals). Band founder Peter Green had long since left, but the rhythm section he named the band after remained.

I originally did a Fleetwood Mac tribute mix back in 2013, for the 35th anniversary of 'Rumours'. It's one of my most-streamed mixes from over the years. 

Late last year I remade the mix entirely from scratch, as a pilot for BBC Radio 2.
The commissioning editor told me he liked it, but it was never aired. 

I'm not a fan of 'hard-drive classics', so this felt a good time to upload it.

This version is slightly different to my mix from 12 years ago.
It's a little more succinct (57 mins precisely), uses a few different tracks & samples, and effectively it's all been 'remastered'.

It covers all eras of the band and it's various incarnations, telling the tales of their well-documented personal battles, and their 20+ album legacy that made them one of the most successful bands of all time.

DJ Spinbad: 80's Megamix Vol 2

DJ Spinbad: 80s Megamix Volume 2 (2000)

The tribute to DJ Spinbad continues with perhaps his most famous work. It's reportedly the most bootlegged mix of all time, so thought I might as well hop on board :D 

Spinbad's 1995 mixtape Rock The Casbah is frequently cited as THE defining moment in modern megamix/mash up culture, and with good reason. Featuring JS-One and A.Vee, according to the man himself this tribute to 80s pop was assembled on a 3-track (... a 4-track with a broken channel), and is simply put a technically brilliant, phenomenally imaginative and daring piece of mixtape history. To quote DJ Yoda's recent tribute, "Spinbad is one of the main reasons that I am a DJ. [He] was the first hip-hop mixtape DJ to leave the comfort zone of rap music. He showed me that music isn't something you need to be embarrassed about". 

To the mix then. I've only ever had a shortened version, but digging around there are a few variants commonly available, so this is a composite of the best quality remastered version I could find - blip-free, balanced and with the missing end stitched back in. I may revisit once I get a higher quality version of the post-Maneater section, but for now this will do just fine.

DJ Spinbad: Rocks the Casbah!! - The 80s Megamix (1995)

Heavy Stylus: An explosive amalgamation of Jamaican roots, hip hop beats, heavy soul breaks and blaxploitation ghetto-funk.

I’ve been rocking funk/soul/beats/hiphop/roots for around 20 years in various bars and clubs across the South West, and have supported a wide range of acts and artists such including Jelly Jazz, Boca 45, Andy Smith, Quantic, Craig Charles, DJ Food, Bonobo, Gilles Peterson, Ugly Duckling and DJ Format.

Although I started as a vinyl-only DJ in Bristol, these days I use a pair of battle-scarred Pioneer CDJs as my weapons of choice. I’m currently a resident (of 11 years) at the Angel Bar on Queen Street, and in the past have held Exeter-based residencies at The Monkey Suit, Timepiece, Dr. Inks and Verve (now Urban Underground), as well as DJing regularly for Hold it Down.
