Back in the mid 90’s, during the hight of the Acid Jazz scene and the Golden Era of Hip Hop, I took a number of trips to New York City where I visited a number of underground clubs, most notable, The Supper Club, The Cooler & Giant Step / Groove Collective and witnessed the incredible fusion of live dis and musicians jamming together on the same stage from crews like Brooklyn Funk Essentials & Us3!

These 3 turntable mixes are just a taste of those New York State experiences that would begin my life long journey into to combination the relationship between Jazz and Hip Hop.

Hope you enjoy! 

Ps: Please excuse the the parts where the pitch on one turntable decided to go rouge. I Hope you can appreciate the concepts.
