Samplology: The Common Chapter

After yet another incredible year for one of the scene’s most beloved labels, Ram has left its mark on all corners of the globe.  Firmly cementing its place at the top with another run of sold out shows all over the world, Andy achieving the monstrous feat of selling out Brixton Academy twice and some serious quality productions from the label’s artists, Ram has been turning heads from all corners of the scene. This collection of tracks celebrate yet another milestone in Ram Records history of bringing you only the finest Drum & Bass cuts.

Ram Drum & Bass Annual 2016 boasts an onslaught of tracks perfected by their ever growing roster of incredible artists. With huge standout tracks such as “Where we go feat Doctor” from heavyweights Calyx and Teebee and the incredible speaker rattling “ Shatterdome” from Audio destroying dancefloors worldwide, Ram has left no stone unturned in this mind blowing representation of all styles of drum & bass.

Bringing all flavours of the scene into the mix, iconic anthems such as the mind blowing “Teddynator” by Teddy Killerz, and “Breathe” by Wilkinson to the beautiful masterpiece “We are not Human feat Hannah Lux” by June Miller and the slicing, head bobbing groove of Gerra and Stone’s jungle bomber “L.I.E.S (The Jungle VIP)” prove that Ram continues to provide nothing but the best quality drum & bass across the whole spectrum. 

Taking massive cuts from Ram’s hugely successful and coveted sister label ProgRAM. New blood from all over the world have made their stamp on the scene with monster cuts from Slang Banger annihilating dancefloors with the catchy “Slaughterhouse” or the legendary MC Fats joining Stealth to bring you the deep, moving piece “The Truth”. With the hugely popular “Encrypted” EP hitting the stores and showcasing raw fresh talent from all over, Ram sets the bar time and time again bringing nothing but the very best. With 35 incredible tracks, this diverse compilation is a perfect delivery of Ram’s finest and best loved work of the year.  


Ram Records Drum & Bass Annual 2016 mixed by TEDDY KILLERZ

DJ Premier’s catalog is incredible. If he was only known for his work with Gangstarr, he’d still be considered a Top 3 producer of all time, easily. But the fact that he’s worked with everyone from Biggie to Jay-Z to Nas to KRS-One makes his discography pretty much incomparable. And we’re not talking about obscure cuts that lost their appeal years ago. These are timeless songs! So for today’s edition of The 10s, we present Primo Treats: 10 Classic Non-Gangstarr Primo Joints. We’ll probably have to do a part two and three to this because dude has worked with everyone we love and always comes correct. All praises due to DJ Premier, thank you for all the music you’ve given us. It’s our pleasure to celebrate the work you’ve put in. I guess right now we should start the show.

Basically, I'm a child of 90's hip-hop. I always have been and always will be. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of dope hip-hop on the market today (mainstream and underground), but to me, the eight-year period spanning from 1990 - 1998 was a hip-hop Renaissance that will probably never be duplicated. And DJ Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito Garcia (AKA Cool Bob Love, AKA DJ Cucumber Slice, AKA the ten thousand other nicknames this dude has) were probably two of the most influential people in the game at that time. I'm not gonna go into a long history regarding their show on WKCR, but from 1990 - 1998, during the hours of 1-5 AM every Thursday night / Friday morning, these two, for lack of a better term, "smashed the airwaves" of the New York metropolitan area. Their show was responsible for launching the careers of Nas, Mobb Deep, Big L, Jay-Z, Big Pun, Fat Joe, The Notorious B.I.G., A Tribe Called Quest, The Beatnuts, Black Moon, Redman, The Wu-Tang Clan, and the list goes on and on. Since I was too young during the show's heyday, I've had to feed my addiction for this show by scouring the internets for uploaded tapes from listeners from back in the day. What I did with this mix was try to showcase some of the joints that were spun on their show beginning in 1990 and ending in 1998. I compiled all the tracks to make it seem like you're listening to an actual taping of the show. All of these tracks were played on WKCR at least once (some more than others). I even threw in some of my favorite freestyles and exclusives, which were taken directly from old cassettes. I've got a ton of these old recordings, and it was really difficult to decide what to include/exclude, but hopefully, you'll get a sense of their legendary show and the evolution of classic hip-hop over a legendary eight-year period. Also, shout out to the good peoples at <a href="http://Philaflava.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Philaflava.org</a> for supplying me and the rest of the Stretch &amp; Bob fiends with hundreds of old tapes. Turn that shit up....

Abstract Radio Mix - Dec. 2016 - DJ Finesse NYC

Founding member of EPMD and Def Squad, Erick Sermon aka the Green Eyed Bandit is a legendary Producer & MC from Brentwood, Long Island. In my opinion he’s always been the funkiest producer on the East Coast. Through his records, I became interested in P-Funk, Zapp, Johnny Guitar Watson, to name a few.

On this tribute mix I wanted to pay homage to the 3 main phases of his career. The explosion of EPMD in the Golden Era, his productions for Redman and K-Solo. He made countless remixes, productions, appearances on classic and more slept-on 90’s Rap & R&B joints. The early 2000’s changed production styles slightly but the funk & soul was always there as evident on his more recent solo work like the Marvin Gaye sampling “Just Like Music”
