DJ Spinbad: Needle To The Groove 2 (2010)

The tribute to DJ Spinbad continues with perhaps his most famous work. It's reportedly the most bootlegged mix of all time, so thought I might as well hop on board :D 

Spinbad's 1995 mixtape Rock The Casbah is frequently cited as THE defining moment in modern megamix/mash up culture, and with good reason. Featuring JS-One and A.Vee, according to the man himself this tribute to 80s pop was assembled on a 3-track (... a 4-track with a broken channel), and is simply put a technically brilliant, phenomenally imaginative and daring piece of mixtape history. To quote DJ Yoda's recent tribute, "Spinbad is one of the main reasons that I am a DJ. [He] was the first hip-hop mixtape DJ to leave the comfort zone of rap music. He showed me that music isn't something you need to be embarrassed about". 

To the mix then. I've only ever had a shortened version, but digging around there are a few variants commonly available, so this is a composite of the best quality remastered version I could find - blip-free, balanced and with the missing end stitched back in. I may revisit once I get a higher quality version of the post-Maneater section, but for now this will do just fine.

DJ Spinbad: Rocks the Casbah (1995)

DJ Spinbad: Rocks the Casbah!! - The 80s Megamix (1995)

* 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 :)
