CHR Pt.1 Mixed By VANSERNU (Tape Rip)

All Chopped Herring Records released rare underground hip-hop vinyl live mix recorded chrome cassette tape used Dolby B (THIS IZ SO WARM SOUNDS!). 90s flaVah in ya EAR. To be continue pt.3... Pce.

매번 믹스셋을 만들면서 성장을 하지만 이번 믹스는 조금 특별하다. Avantgarde Vak 프로듀싱에 큰 영감을 받게된것은 물론이고, 이 시대 래퍼들이 진중히 들었으면 한다. 앨범에 수록되지 못한 곡들과 데모트랙들을 넣었는데 그 진실성과 간절함이 상상이상이다. 이 느낌을 전달해준 Chopped Herring Records에게 다시 한번 감사를 표하며, 친구들은 이번 믹스를 가슴 열고 들어주길 바란다. *마스터 카세트 녹음은 물론 원테이크 노에디트이며 Dolby B를 사용하였다. 

I grow by making a mixset every time, but this mix is a little special. Not only was it inspired to produce Avantgarde Vak, but I hope rappers of this era will listen to it. I put songs and demo tracks that were not included in the album, and their sincerity and earnestness are beyond imagination. I would like to thank Chopped Herring Records once again for conveying this feeling, and I hope ma fellaz will listen to this mix with open hearts. *Master Cassette recording is only one-take no-edit and Dolby B was used.

다시 돌아왔다. 믹스한 모든 레코드는 @chopperherringrecords 으로 인해서 발췌했으며 언제나 감사를 표한다. 언제나 그렇듯 카세트 녹음을 거치며 그것은 Dolby B 로 인하여 한번에 이루어 진다. 사운드의 통일감이 먼저겠지만 개인적으로는 마치 라디오에서 흘러나오는 듯한 거를수없는 시간을 주고 싶어서이다. 그것은 VANSERNU의 자신감이 아니라 Hip-Hop에 대한 믿음으로 외칠 수 있다.

I'm back. All the records I mixed were extracted by @chopperherringrecords and I always express my gratitude. As always, I went through cassette recording and it was done at once thanks to Dolby B. The unity of the sound comes first, but I personally want to give you an unstoppable time as if it were flowing out of the radio. It can be shouted not with VANSERNU's confidence but with the belief in Hip-Hop.


CHR pt.4 (Tape Rip)

“This ain’t no nostalgia trip—this is excavation.”

BURNDAHGROUND ‘25 is a 90-minute analog odyssey into the depths of 90s underground hip-hop. Curated and mixed by Avantgarde Vak a.k.a. VANSERNU, this mixtape resurrects the raw, dusty spirit of forgotten 12”s, indie test presses, and long-lost cassette joints—tracks that lived in crates, not charts.

From the grimy backstreets of NYC to the hazy corners of the West Coast, this set digs deeper than your average boom-bap fix. Featuring Mister Voodoo, MF Grimm, Godfather Don, Concrete Mob, and a host of unsung legends, each cut bleeds texture, grit, and soul. Expect razor-sharp lyricism, tape hiss, saturated drum loops, and the unmistakable crackle of vinyl.

Side Phat flows jazzy and meditative—hip-hop for midnight headphones and rainy streets.
Side Def flips the switch with aggressive streetwise anthems and warehouse cipher energy. Both sides, however, stay rooted in that uncompromising, lo-fi essence.

No filler. No gimmicks.
Just pure, unfiltered underground sound—for the heads who never stopped diggin’.
