Volume 3 in my throwback to the classic old school hip hop electro albums which i grew up to from the 80's 

HIP HOP ELECTRO VOL 3

HIP HOP GENIUS

Turn up the volume because I forget to make the audio sound aceatable with a reasonable audio level

B boy beat

The American Dream

Rag A Tag

There's No HollyWood

Hurtful Words

Bootleg Preacher

ITS ZARTAN - 'The B-Boy Drop (radio edit)'

A bit of a fresh going over of probably my favourite Streetsounds Electro series album, Crucial Electro one. Every track an absolute anthem in the world of old school hip hop.
This will never replace the original but i wanted to pay homage to it on my radio show and come up with this. Hope you enjoy

ELECTRO CRUCIAL 1 REFRESHED 2025 DJ PHURTY

Got into DJ'ing in the early half of the 80's.Originally i started off off life as a breakdancer but was also  drawn to the scratching element of the music.So,as one did back then,i cut out a slipmatt from an old pillow case and got to work on an Amstrad stack system.I couldn't use the volume control so had to use the function button to cut the sound.This gave it an Eric B style scratch,messy but it did a job.It didn't take long for the turntable to eventually die on me so i used anything that played records until i finally got my 1210's in the early 90's.
I'd constantly be chucking out mix tapes but unfortunately living where i did the want for hip hop wasn't there so i moved onto the club circuit.
I did that for a good few years but got bored as the crowd then was only into what was in the charts and i liked breaking new stuff so eventually i knocked it on the head and only did the occasional house party.
Many years later,by chance,i bumped into an old friend who told me about some software he used to mix on.I got it and started putting some mixes together.This was all cool but i got bored quickly just blending one track into another every 5 minutes or so so started doing mash up mixes.I figured if i was using a program to mix then don't do what i could do on my turntables.
I know many DJ's don't class this art of mixing as real DJ'ing and of course they are right but i use my many years experience as a DJ to make these mixes work.
I've had many mixes played on The Streetsounds radio show with Morgan khan and also been lucky enough to be asked to mix up some albums(turning them into minimixes for promotional purposes).
I'd love to get back into live work again but financially i can't just yet.My priority is,and always will be,my family.
So for right now i do this as a hobby.I love music and i love mixing it.
My preference is old school but i do mix modern music also,basically,if i like it i'll mix it.
If there are any record labels or artists out there wanting to put out a megamix type album then(or minimix) inbox me.If i can work with it i will work with it.
Big thanks to all my followers and always appreciate your comments and feedback,they are my payment for what i do...provided they're nice of course!! haha!!
