## BULLETPROOF CRATES RECORDINGS PRESENTS:
DJ SHEEP: SUMMER SPLIFFZ: VOLUME 1

Recorded Live: Tuesday 21st July 2015

Here's the first of a new trilogy of mixes goin' out to all the diggaz in the Northern Hemisphere enjoin' that summer heat in and out of the crates.

This time 'round I'm bringing it back to basics with classic hip-hop samples and breaks from the "golden-era" of rap sampling with a few splashes of the unknown in-between: funk, soul, jazz, soundtracks, library joints and drum breaks from all corners of the globe, cut up on the 1's and 2's in one take.

Sorry for the delay on the mix tip, appreciate all the spins. You can show support by copping a USB stick full of mixes or digital files over at http://djsheep.bigcartel.com.

Shouts to egotrip, pipomixes, cratesofjr, GRNDGD, Ryan Proctor, Snoop God, DJ ADA, Cut Chemist and Boogie Monster. Next gig is out in Bali, Indonesia on the 29th of August on the beach for Ku De Ta's old school block party with Rob Swift, Mike Who, Felix Da Housecat and more. If you're out there, don't miss it! Summer Spliffz: Volume 2 droppin' real soon.

peace. DJ Sheep

Summer Spliffz: Volume 1

Well it's my birthday today, so I'm going to celebrate with this excellent mix from Beat Junkie and break-digger supreme J.Rocc. It's fair to say that mixes like this started me down the break-/sample-hunting road, and I have a couple more kicking about... expect a selection of jazz, funk and soul, musical education for fans of golden era hip-hop.

If you’re familiar with the Boogie/Funk scene, you’ve definitely came across the name “Nick Martinelli” in the credits somewhere; whether as a producer (solo or with his acolyte David Todd), as arranger, writer, mixing board or remix duties. He has contributed some of the most notable song within the genre, songs such as Loose Ends “Hangin’ On A String”, Fat Larry’s Band “Act Like You Know”, or 52nd Street “Tell Me How It Feels”, but his catalog’s range is quite exhaustive, diverse and lots of his catalogue is kind of “slept-on”. We’re talking about a superstar producer, who has hits on both the U.S. and U.K. charts, and at the same time has an abundance of underground boogie/disco classic anthems. 

With that in mind, I wanted to pay homage to him, so I decided to do a tribute mix with some of my records that had the name Nick Martinelli on them. (I could easily do 3 more).
