DJ Premier - Crooklyn Cuts, Volume III Tape A (1996)

Solid Steel (25th April) 20 years ago Nas released his legendary Illmatic album and DJ Moneyshot has put together an outstanding tribute mix 'Nas - Half-Man Half-Amazing'. As with the previous tribute mixes for the Beastie Boys, De La Soul and Public Enemy, it's more an audio documentary threading together sample sources, interview footage and remixes alongside the original Illmatic tracks. Hear the vocabulary, the flow and the rhythm expertly delivered by Nas, backed up by the sublime production of Pete Rock, DJ Premier, Large Professor and Q-Tip, plus original samples from Lee Erwin, The Heath Brothers, Ahmad Jamal and Reuben Wilson. All this deconstructed and rebuilt by Moneyshot for another classic Solid Steel edition.

Mr. Thing - Champion Nerd [2010]

I was recently asked to play a night called Classic Material in London. The idea for the club is to give each month over to a year from Hip Hop's past and only play tracks released during it. I was given 1989 and this set was all done from original vinyl, clicks, jumps and all.

Tracklist:

Tone Loc - On Fire (Remix) (Delicous Vinyl)
Gang Starr - Words I Manifest (Wild Pitch)
Chill Rob G - Court's In Session (Wild Pitch)
Beastie Boys - Hey Ladies (Capitol Records)
Jungle Brothers - Jbeez Comin' Through (Warner Bros)
Beastie Boys - Shadrach (Capitol Records)
Beastie Boys - Shake Your Rump (Capitol Records)
EPMD - Big Payback (Sleeping Bag)
Ultramagnetic MCs - A Chorus Line (Next Plateau)
Public Enemy - Fight The Power (Motown)
De La Soul - Say No Go (Say No Dope mix) (Big Life/Tommy Boy)
Most Wanted - Calm Down (Fever Records)
Hijack - Badman Is Robbin' (Rhyme Syndicate)
Ice T - Lethal Weapon (Sire)
Twin Hype - Do It To The Crowd (Profile)
Jungle Brothers - Tribe Vibes   (Warner Bros)
Jungle Brothers  Beyond This World  (Warner Bros)
Cookie Crew - Born This Way (FFRR)
Jungle Brothers - Good News Coming  (Warner Bros)
The D.O.C - Portrait of a Masterpiece (Ruthless)
Hijack - Doomsday of Rap (Ice T Remix) (Rhyme Syndicate)
De La Soul - Magic Number (123 mix) (Big Life/Tommy Boy)
Doug Lazy - Let It Roll (Grove St)
Double Trouble & Rebel MC - Just Keep Rockin' (Desire)

'88 was great but '89 is mine

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 :)
