The mixtape archeology continues! This second part of the "Payback Mix" was recorded in 2005 and, as with the first part, it was named after the short yet super-intense series of alcohol and marijuana-fuelled nights I ran with a bunch of friends in the back room of the Croft in Bristol back around 2002.

Although in my opinion it's not as tight as part one, this is still probably my most requested mixtape. As a direct continuation of part one, expect heavy funk breaks, hip hop beats and random stuff from small independent labels that you've probably not heard in ages.

The Payback Mix (Part Two)

The Payback Mix (Part Two)(2005)

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.

(Oh, and in addition to rocking the ones-and-twos, James Monkman is also one half of Exeter-based independent videogame development studio RGCD.DEV, hence the goofy twitter tag).
