Scratch Perverts

Back in the heyday of the Scratch Perverts, the supremely talented UK turntablist Prime Cuts comes correct with a mini mix of (mostly) late 90's indie hip hop, featuring the likes of Lootpack, High & Mighty, Casual and Planet Asia. Fucking Phat.

Scratch Perverts: John Peel Show (26/01/1999)

Superb 1998 underground hip-hop mixtape from DJs Vadim and Prime Cuts, highly highly recommended. 
I really can't do this justice but there's a worthy write-up here http://witness-this.com/sound/vadimprimecuts-architects-of-the-great/ - to paraphrase, "DJ Vadim & Primecuts did not just record a mixtape. They delivered a sound sculpture."

Scratch Perverts: Watch The Ride (2007)

* 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 :)
