Unearthed from the vaults of the North Pole, this “lost” disco/boogie record from 1977 finally sees the light of day. Elf Waves is a funky, glitter-soaked side project from the world of Christopher Kringle — a time when elves traded sleigh bells for sequins and rode the groove straight through Studio 54.

Thought forgotten for decades, the Lost Boogie Record captures the spirit of a hidden era: when the Kringle universe collided with the golden age of disco. Play it loud, dance like an elf, and relive the North Pole’s best-kept secret. This album will make more sense after Book #9 is released. There is a reason this album has never been seen by the public.

Its Overture presents The Hot 97 Tapes: Summer Of '96 Mix

2016 just saw another Legend pass away. Kashif Saleem, previously known as Michael Jones, was one of the most prolific producers in the 1980's, producing for acts such as Melba Moore, Evelyn Champagne King, Withney Houston, Howard Johnson and George Benson, just to name a few.

On a personal note, Kashif's music is the ultimate reason why I am the Dj that I aspire to be - the 1st time I heard "I Just Got To Have You (Lover Turn Me On) was one of the greatest musical discovery, if not the greatest, that I encountered - that Moog Bass, those guitar licks, that snare variation on the 8th, the arrangements, the lyrics. I was captivated. Forever. Today, I'm even more convinced that Kashif Changed My Life. Rest In Power Kashif Saleem.

Phife Dawg Tribute

Thank You Phife Dawg

I've sat on this mix for a few years now.  This is just a mix I made because most D^% mixes show absolutely no depth of D*# production catalog.  Most of the mixes I've heard just focus on the post 2001 (really 1999) era of D*# production with a few better known Ch*&nic joints sprinkled here and there.  Being a SoCal native, the bulk of my introduction to hip hop came through D*# production.  If you don't know every loop, every bridge, every random sound from his D*C, N*#, E#*, Mich*#, D#&thr*w days, you just don't know D*# production.  The mix was so easy to make I feel stupid positng it (which is why it's been in the vaults for a few years).  I've also chosen to keep the mix untitled to prove the point that I didn't decide to do a D*# mix as a cheap way to garner hits/listens/downloads etc...  It's just something I felt like doing because I wasn't really working on anything else at the time.  I'm currently in the final stages of what I consider to be the Mona Lisa of mixes (at least as far as my mixes are concerned).  That mix should post in a few months.  Hopefully, this mix will hold you all over until then.

This very special mix (recorded in '98/99  but never previously released) was done by Kevin Beacham (A.K.A DJ Nikoless) in his words "is definitely dedicated to the amazing, and what I feel are slept on skills of, the great Showbiz. His tracks were always raw and stripped down with banging drums and nice melodies. I've always considered him one of my all time favorites since early on in his career, so much respect and appreciation for years of dedication to the craft of quality beat making.  It features some guest scratching/turntablism from two of my good friends, DJ Pratt & DJ Precyse. This is also dedicated to Big L (R.I.P)"

Wonder Wrote It Vol. one (Dj Spinna Mix)

Per Raps.: Não tanto do inglês perhaps (talvez), e sim algo mais próximo do termo latin per capita (renda por “cabeça”). Se uns fazem pela renda, nós fazemos pelo rap…que para nós não resulta em apenas uma união entre Dj e MC, e sim a voz de toda uma cultura. E não “renda por cabeça” e sim “informação e conteúdo por indivíduo”. Indivíduo que por meio do hip hop passa a ser um coletivo.
