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.

Mix curated & produced by Bobby Bignell aka DJ BobaFatt, April 2025.

Native Tongues Block Party | BBC 6 Music

Recently I had the pleasure of performing at Crystal Palace Bowl in London as part of the South Facing Festival, alongside a bunch of heroes & influences of mine, namely DJ Shadow, UNKLE (James Lavelle & Ronin), Morcheeba, Zero 7, Chali 2na (Jurassic 5) & A Skillz, as well as my good friend DJ Cheeba.

Here is a 33-track 90-minute mix including some of the music I played during my sets at the event, and tracks from the artists that performed. One-take business.

Incidentally, last time I was at Crystal Palace Bowl was back in 1996, when I was an extra in the video to Chemical Brothers & Noel Gallagher's No.1 single 'Setting Sun' (!), so it was quite the trip to be back nearly 30 years later for this event! So as a bonus, for pure self-indulgence, I included that track too.

The mix also kicks off with a nod to Busta Rhymes, who headlined the festival the following day.

It was nice to be able to play some of the music on big speakers that I was playing in my bedroom way back when, along with being on stage with some of the artists that dominated my record collection around about that period too.

Shout to Rob Soundcrash & team, New Analog Design, Ishani Chakra, Big Martyn, Lauren & Ben, all the artists, and to all those folks that showed love. This one's for y'all! x

'88 was great but '89 is mine

Marc Hype began his DJ career, inspired by the late great Jam Master Jay, in 1988 and went through the several decades of hip hop with countless releases, tours and competitions like the ITF championships, which he won twice in 98 & 99. During this time he collaborated and recorded with artists like the Juice Crew legend Masta Ace, Souls Of Mischief, DJ Z-Trip, Killa Kela & Mr. Lif. Over the years his record collection and his musical mind  expanded and led him to all kinds of funky music. His selection on the decks as on production is freestyle, always with a unique groove, no matter the genre.

Jim Dunloop began to train as a classical piano player at the age of four. At his minor age he was analyzing the compositions of Gershwin and Bruback, leading to a keen interest in jazz music. He quickly developed his knowledge of the creative works of many great jazz/funk pianists such as Herbie Hancock , Bob James , Chick Corea and Adam Makiewicz.

In the year 2004 they both met in Berlin for the first time and quickly began to collaborate on shows and production. Their first vinyl releases on the infamous Milk Crate label, "The Antique Anthem", "Bombay Raw" & "Finale 74", were very successful in the worldwide dj-circuit, followed by a cover version of Babe Ruth's "The Mexican" in 2006, which was dubbed by UK's Jazzman Gerald as "the" version to have. On the remix tip they build a strong reputation with works for artists like All Good Funk Alliance, Deela or Kid Gusto.Their past tour schedule proved their ability to rock internationaly with stops allover europe as in NYC, Japan, Hong Kong, Russia, United Arabian Emirates, Israel & Australia.

The live performance of Marc Hype & Jim Dunloop is best defined as a mix of DJing, Turntablism and the highest of piano art. Together they gain 50 years of musical experience!

The Album

"Stamp Out Reality" is the musical manifest of Marc Hype & Jim Dunloop. A diverse mix of different styles which reflects their unique live concept. On the one hand you have classic hip hop joints like "Predominant" ft. the magnificent Mr. Lif or "Oh Really" ft. Queen's own Mr. Complex, on the other you might listening to Miami's Old School Funk legend Blowfly on "The Pussy Song", cuban diva Malena Perez from NYC on the latin influenced "Rare Occasion, heavy break stompers like "Wah Wah Wah"" or a funk cover version of the 80s electro classic "Al Naafiysh (The Soul)". The concept of the album is to display the diversity of the two maestros, coming from different backrounds, met inside the hip hop culture and travelleling through the paths of 21st century funk.
