Kezz Party Mix 

First upload of 2024 and I'm back on the eclectic samples tip.  Damn, it's been a while… over three years since the reggae special.  I solemnly promised to never inflict this misery on myself again; but in truth, the break must have done me good - it's been thoroughly enjoyable. 

This one came about after a sustained period of listening to mid-90s jump up jungle (just for a change eh) and thinking how nice it would be to do a straight boom-bap mix with a few of the tunes sampled in them. I have an enduring love of hip hop - primarily the early 90s golden age through to the later Rawkus-era stuff, and a fair bit either side.  Back in the day we were as equally obsessed with it as we were jungle/DnB, and it got way more serious when I discovered DMC videos and the Fat Beats import mixtapes down at Purple Penguin, leading me in turn to discover the unparalleled joys of hip hop mixing, buying and stickering up countless double copies.  Therein lay a big issue for me when considering this mix: a straight hip-hop set should be done on the 1s and 2s, as god (or Primo, for fellow atheists) intended. Certainly not with ableton…  

Forced to come up with something more elaborate, and with an extensive, colour-coded spreadsheet completed, I duly threw a couple of hundred classic cuts, acapellas, instrumentals and a bunch of tangential samples in the blender - and here we are.  It's all hip hop this time - no more breakbeat/jungle reconstructions, I'm long done with that.  Above all else this is a tribute to the classic 4-track mixtapes I grew up with, but with enough sly references to jungle/D&B wedged in to keep the sample nerds happy.  Featured artists include KRS-One, Brandy, Mary J Blige, Wu-Tang, Def Squad, Mobb Deep, Biggie, DJ Quik, Ice Cube, Tribe, Digable Planets, Gang Starr, TLC, Big L, Kool G Rap and many more, plus a couple of eclectic interludes and the obligatory overblown intro.  99% of this sampled on numerous releases from the likes of No U-Turn, Emotif, Metalheadz, V/Philly Blunt/Chronic, Full Cycle/Dope Dragon, Frontline, Intalektive, Formation, Joker, Dread, yadda yadda.  

Please enjoy... downloads will be enabled soonish, reposts and comments much appreciated, as always.  

Special shouts to my fellow beat-lovers Olly, Ell & Ciaran, Caroline a.k.a. Mrs Selectabwoy, and all the sample spotters out there: the whosampled & FB jungle beardstroke crews, and a special mention for the newly-resurrected Rolldabeats forum. These mixes just wouldn't be the same without you guys. Big up!

#HIPHOP50: Classic Material Megamix #10 (1996) mixed by Chris Read

PROSLACKERS officially formed around 1999 and consisted of three like minded youths from the darkest depths of Devon.

Pro-Boy (producer) and DJ Hell Yeah (producer/DJ) had both been making tracks since the mid 90s, but didn't start collaborating together until several years later. Towards the late 90s I was frequently hanging out with the pair of them; digging for samples and adding cuts over their tunes etc. After a while we decided to give ourselves a collective name - something that represented our approach to life, and we were professional when it came to doing the bare minimum!

Individually we were into lots of different music. Me & Pro-Boy really liked Oldskool Breakbeat Techno and Jungle, but got fully immersed in underground Hip-Hop by the end of the millennium. DJ Hell Yeah was well into underground Hip-Hop and also liked to dabble with a bit of DnB. As a result, you can’t really pigeon hole what PROSLACKERS were making - it was all sorts of crazy stuff.

If my memory is right, this PROSLACKERS oldskool rave mix was recorded in early 2004 using two Technics 1210 turntables, a Vestax PMC-06 mixer and Native Instruments TRAKTOR. The DVS software back then (when it first came out) was a bit glitchy, but we didn't care. Simply being able to do vinyl mixes with the tunes Pro-Boy and DJ Hell Yeah had produced was mind blowing at the time. This mix features mostly Pro-Boy tracks.

Now I think back, in the summer of 2004 a similar PROSLACKERS set was played at a party near Winkleigh through Skinners 10K rig.... Anyway, fast forward 20 years and a CD has emerged that just had to be shared. It needed a bit of clean up though, cos of all the TRAKTOR pops & crackles. To do it justice, this is a remastered version - an anniversary edition!

Gotta give a huge shout to @Pro-Boy (aka Brian Pro) and @Slazy-beats (aka DJ Hell Yeah)...Big Ups...PROSLACKERS for life. x

PROSLACKERS oldskool rave mix (anniversary edition)

We Out Here 2024 just took place. This is a slightly extended 70-min version of my 60-min set from the opening night of the festival (with a few extra bits from the crate I didn't manage to squeeze in). Soul, r&b, hip hop, beats, boogie & bruk.

This was part of First Word Records 20th birthday takeover in the Brawnswood tent, along with Allysha Joy, Amanda Whiting, Don Leisure, Werkha, DJ Gilla and Konny Kon (Children of Zeus), who played directly after me with all manner of shellers. This mix features a couple bits released on the label too (14KT, Tall Black Guy, Kaidi Tatham, New Sector Movements, Quiet Dawn).

It was raining, but the tent was ROCKIN'.
A perfect start to a beautiful weekend.

Big love to everyone that was in attendance vibin' out with us, to my FW fam (so proud of y'all), the Brawnswood team, Gilles P, Noah B & all the We Out Here crew. Soul replenished. Thank you!! Big love x


Set: Thursday 15th August 2024, 10-11pm
Brawnswood @ We Out Here, Wimborne St Giles, Dorset, UK.

Scratchadelic Vol. 2

Danny Breaks: Scratchadelic Vol. 2 (1992) - Side A

* Message me if you have any copyright issues *

Home of my own mixes - predominantly jungle/hardcore with the odd bit of D&B, plus eclectic sample-digging, breaks and hip-hop, techno & electronica. 

Pre-2001, all mixes vinyl; Post-2016, all mixes digital (DJay 2); Post-2018, Ableton Live. Why? Why not?
I've got an old skool DJ's mentality, early influences ranging from Sublove, Ratty, Randall & Hype to Coldcut, DJ Juice, MK & Primo.  In the early 00s I turned my back on D&B, retired my turntables in favour of family/work commitments, and got into funk, soul, reggae and so on... a lot of this driven by curiosity around the sample roots of hardcore and jungle.  Forward another decade and an early mid-life crisis saw me messing around with virtual decks on my phone, and later acquiring a vinyl ripper, with one vision in mind: making mixes.
Although I'm partial to the odd DJay or vinyl mix when I get the chance, the progression into Ableton Live was a simple means to an end.  My ideas stretch further than the limitations of my physical collection and real-time mixing, and by sequencing I can pick, choose, chip away and structure mixes at my leisure. Which I do... a lot :)

Wait, there's more ... an absolute stack of classic golden era/old skool hip-hop/turntablism, jungle and d&b, hardcore, techno and house mixes retrieved from my dusty tape & CD archives.  This includes (by my reckoning) the most exhaustive collections of classic Full Cycle and Sublove Galaxy Radio shows, live Ruffneck Ting jungle tapes, loads of studio & compilation mixes, all manner of rave tapes, and so on. 
Use the playlist shortcuts (top of spotlight) to find your way around. 

Have fun, spread the love :)
