After spending the past 7 months on this mix, "Stepping Stones" is a dedication the the classics. These are the albums we tend to find out in the field, regardless of how dry the creek is. These are songs that have proven to stand the test of time. All tracks remixed, arranged, and sewn together by yours truly. Enjoy.

Stepping Stones

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.

Gotcha Covered Vol. 2 - SIDE A

Diggers Dozen #3: The Library Crate
RECORDED LIVE: Sunday 3rd May, 2014

This is the final part of a trilogy of mixes from the "Diggers Dozen" event that I put on in Brisbane, Australia back in 2014. Each of these themed mixes each feature 12 top-tier records hand picked from the Bulletproof Crates played out live on 2 turntables, mixer and a Kaossilator.

This third mix is the 'Library Crate', featuring 12 personal favourites from the UK to Italy from the archives of Bruton, Chappell, Music De Wolfe, Conroy, Selected Sound, Themes, Carosello and more! Expect ultra heavy grimy dusty downtempo lush sleazy drama-style proto hip-hop drum-laden funk! Thanks for listening!

Diggers Dozen Trilogy

Diggers Dozen #3: The Library Crate

I am constantly thinking of different themes to build a mix around. With the completion of each mix I typically fall into a 2-3 week funk where I try to think of a new theme for my next mix. Following the Folger's Blends mix I was struggling to think of a new theme. Then, one day while doing a random google search I stumbled onto the above logo. At first glance, I thought the logo was straight dope. However, the logo became even cooler when I learned that it was the creation of my favorite t-shirt designer, Derek from Manifest Worldwide. Given that the saying behind the logo comes from a ATCQ song, I was originally intending to do a Tribe mix. However, since Tribe mixes are a dime a dozen I went in the direction of creating a mix that attempts to capture the jazzy vibe that groups like Tribe and Digable Planets spawned. As the title suggests, all songs on this mix incorporate jazz based samples. The track selection includes music from jazzy groups and producers such as A Tribe Called Quest, Digable Planets, Diamond D, Black Moon, De La Soul, Madlib, No ID, Gang Starr, Showbiz & AG, Big L, The Roots, and Nas (I think that's all of them?). Half the fun of making this mix was doing the research to ensure that all songs maintained a jazz break. Some were no brainers, but other songs with jazz breaks were quite surprising. Jazz based samples have always given a special vibe to hip hop music so I hope this mix captures that magic. Thanks again to Derek at Manifest for inspiring the mix's theme.
