Solid Steel (2nd August) It's another special show as our own DJ Moneyshot presents another classic album deconstructed for the Solid Steel 25th Anniversary. Public Enemy's 'It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back' is also 25 years old and to honour both occasions DJ Moneyshot shows us once again why he's the mixtape king with the career-best offering, Solid Steel and the Hour of Chaos. Over 60 blistering minutes he takes in all the beats, breaks, samples and spoken word nuggets that made this seminal Bomb Squad production such an explosive release. Amongst the vast stack of tracks in the mix, expect words of wisdom from Louis Farrakhan, exclusive interviews with Hank Shocklee, and all the soul, rock 'n' roll and early rap tracks that went into making up P.E's (if not hip-hop's) finest album. If you enjoy the mix, why not read Moneyshot's exhaustive feature on the album in the pages of this month's Future Music magazine?

Solid Steel Radio Show 2/8/2013 Part 1 + 2 - DJ Moneyshot

WE ARE SKINT...

Cut La Roc is a name affiliated with the formidable rise of Skint and Big Beat in the mid-‘90s. He served over the worldwide tours, was a staple of the Big Beat Boutique in our hometown of Brighton, and released some of the most classic Big Beat productions to date, including Hip Hop Bibbedy Bop Bop and Post Punk Progression. 

Currently now running record label & DJ agency, Rocstar, La Roc dug out a special mix lifted from the Breeze Block series featured on Mary Anne Hobbs’ show on BBC Radio 1 in 1998. The perfect way to look back on what a contribution he made to the scene;

Live at the Social Volume 2
"Seconds out, round two. Here come the hotstepper...
You know how the Social story goes. The Chemical Brothers took things to the 'next level', spending thirteen weeks blowing minds & rocking floors in a dank pub basement, mashing up breakbeats, old skool hip hop, acid house & wigged out rock 'n' roll to a crowd of 25 hour party people. The Albany days passed on into Heavenly history, as much a part of the equation as "Nothing Can Stop Us" or "Weekender" & moves were made onwards & upwards. Enter Jon Carter.
Jon Carter entered Social lore at The Albany, not behind the decks, but on the floor (in every sense). Jon was introduced to the club by regular face Mark Jones (the top boy in charge of the excellent Wall Of Sound label, becoming a full time bar fly at The Albany, moving from fresh faced to totally fucked every week. At the time, Jon was a studio engineer, working exclusively on jungle & dance hall tracks. Like so many of us, he got sucked into the whole Social thing - the weekend ends at 6 o'clock on Monday morning, two little birdies down & the biggest headache on the way. The week of the last Albany session, it was all back to someone's had been booted out. Since then, he's been one of the family. He'd made an odd little record for Wall Of Sound ("The Dollar", as Artery) which had the sound of a Social anthem in the making & he'd done a few DJing sessions back at people's houses after the club, blowing up ragga & bogle gear alongside Public Enemy, ZZ Top & The Jam. What was to come next was anyone's guess, which is probably why Heavenly got him on the pay roll.
At this point, Monkey Mafia was born. First came the rock 'n' roll freakbeat fest of "Blow The Whole Joint Up". Secondly, borrowing heavily from dance hall queen Patra, "Work Mi Body" arrived, seeing Jon settle into a groove previously untapped by man or woman. The 'Mafia wildstyle is radically different from the Chemicals (and, in turn, totally different to Mr. Fearless', but that's another compilation all together). The sound is best likened to that of a car full of Ganja'd up yardies driving into a brick wall at 5 o'clock on a Sunday morning while listening to Funkmaster Flex, The Who, The Bassbin Twins & Gregory Isaacs. It's a big summer sound that gets the sun shining, if only in your mind. It's Monday at Notting Hill Carnival, It's party music & it's a party that everyone's welcome to, the "all back to mine, let's wake up the neighbours" kind. It's a sound we've grown to love, like some mad kid you've adopted as one of your own. Much like Jon himself...

Those who have mattered... Tom & Ed Chemical; Jon Carter, Richard Fearless; Mark Jones; Brian, Beccy & all at The Albany; Ali; Frank Perkins; John & Danny Newman; Spence, Izzy & Will @ Lazy Eye; Johnny Chandler; Rory; Martje; Vanessa; Margo; Paolo; James Bailie"

A Golden Era Of Hip Hop Vol 2(MIX ONLY)

The first DJ Yoda 6Mix - originally broadcast on BBC Radio 6 Music 24th October 2014. Old school/golden era hip-hop mix!

Tracklisting and info here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04m3pby

BBC Radio 6 Music - DJ Yoda 6Mix 1 - 24.10.14

'Can’t, Won’t, Don’t Stop' is more than just a mix - it’s a tribute to 25 years behind the decks.

From block party breaks to neck-snapping boom-bap, this hour-long session cuts deep into the DNA of funk, hip-hop, and sample-heavy soul. Expect a hard-hitting mix packed with golden-era grit, b-boy breaks and underground heat.

Every one of these 26 tracks tells a story. They've rocked sweaty basements, backrooms, festival tents and city dive bars with sticky dancefloors. They’ve provided the soundtrack to late-night drives through Devon’s country lanes and dusty-fingered digging excursions in Bristol and record shops further afield.

Consider this a snapshot. A rewind. A love letter to the culture that made me the DJ and record collector I am today.  At 46 years old, I still can’t stop, won’t stop - and don’t plan to anytime soon.

Audiophiles take note: there’s some hiss, some crackle - and a whole lot of soul. This mixtape was recorded live with minimal post-production. Some of these joints have lived in my battered milk crate for years, played out in countless sets before finally being digitised for this project.

DJ Yoda's How To Cut & Paste Mix Tape Volume 2 (2002)

DJ Yoda @ BBC6 Music Festival 2020

This is a mix Cut Chemist did for the Beastie Boys exhibit that toured in 2018:  "They asked me to pull from some of their favorite dub, funk and rap records and this is the result."

I Do What I Want

Ripped By Baz

Essential Mix 2003-06-22 - DJ Yoda & Dan Greenpeace

* 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. 

Have fun, spread the love :)
