dL aka @Decades is one of our most loved and well received contributors.. A well respected dj, record collector and producer.. Hailing out of the lovely Adelaide city in South Australia, dL has been at the forefront of the modern re-edit/remix scene since the early 2000s.. His tunes line the crates of many funk.soul.hip.hop.reggae djs all around the world.

dL's (aka Decades) Showcase

I needed to get a remix done to get me back into the groove of beat making and this was the result, as usual I have offered an unmastered and roughly mixed version. If any one would like to mix/master it let me know and I will get you the session. I as you might have guessed with the Rakim v's KRS mix have been a long time fan of Rakim, and as such have normally steered away from remixing his work, but when this beat came together and I put the acapella over it I knew this would be something for the B-Boys! 

Eric B & Rakim Follow The Leader dL remix

This was previously only available for followers, but in the spirit of Christmas I thought I would share with the wider Soundcloud community (plus I will have something special for the followers soon)
Hope you enjoy!

Make Me Hot (dL Edit)

I first heard this when I went to see the legendary Don Letts DJ at an out door gig a while back, as soon as I got home i looked up who had done this awesome version and found it was a French reggae group by the name of the Dynamics, needless to say I got a hold of the record with a quickness. I have been meaning to do an edit of this for a while now, and as I am approaching nearly 1000 followers I thought I might do a few special limited download edits over the coming weeks to say thank you to all the kind people that stop by and listen to the music I share.

I grew up in a house where instead of watching television we would sit around as a family and listen to my dad play records. As a very serious collector he would often take me to record fairs from the age of about 8 years old. You could say an apple never falls far from the tree, except where my father sought out obscure 60's british rock, I seek out good quality music from musicians that played from the heart, be they jazz, soul, reggae, afro, folk or what ever.
I started djing locally in the early 90's in clubs, then progressed to entering and placing in various competitions including DMC and ITF. In around 2001 I started taking the whole dj/record collecting thing a little more seriously which saw me djing in many places around Australia and digging for records all over the world. I have shared stages and warmed up with every one from Gangstarr, MOP, Raekwon, Cut Chemist, P.U.T.S, Short Kut, De La Soul, Rob Swift, Mista Sinista, Roc Raida, Rhettmatic, Babu, Dilated Junkies, Dj Krush, Rip One,The Alkaholiks and Lyrics Born through to leading Aussie acts like The Hilltop Hoods,Delta, M-Phazes and Koolism.
Since 2002 I have also started making my own music which has included a long standing association with 7 piece jazz fusion band Sukatash, and the up coming Decades release on CH records. Also check my blog for exclusive funk/soul/hip hop edits.
Some of the mixes I make are recorded straight from the mixer into a tape deck, some are recorded and multi tracked, some are made to make people dance, some are made to make people think, but all are made for every one who has a genuine love of music to enjoy.

Floor Wax (dL Edit)

An old edit I have found myself playing again recently. This track is the epitome of BBoy funk for me, hard hitting drums, really soulful vocal and big old horns!!!

It's that eclectic sensibility that underpins his mixtapes and dj sets.
