Volume 1 was done about 10 years ago with all the usual suspects in terms of SP-1200 (SP-12) production.  Since I've become more and more of an audio file as of late, I thought I'd dig a little deeper into the SP-1200 catalog since I just love that 12 bit, crunchy sound.  Half the fun of the mix was doing the research of production equipment used in the making of different classic joints to confirm SP-1200 usage.  I used the old "double source" system of verifying whether the 1200 was actually used on different songs or albums.  In other words, if I read/heard two separate interviews where a given producer confirmed using the SP-1200 in some shape or form (whether for the whole beat or just the drums) that song became mix eligible.  As with all of my mixes, quite a bit of time and energy went into crafting this labor of love.  Hope you all enjoy!

Camp Lo/Pete Rock-80 Blocks from Tiffany's mixtape

Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth's classic LP 'Mecca and the Soul Brother' turned 30 recently, so reminisce for a spell with a mix of OG Samples, Remixes, & Blends.
The way Pete sampled old jazz/funk/soul records and layered them over hard, dusty drums was masterful (how he caught that little part on the fadeout of an Ohio Players record for 'Lots Of Lovin' still amazes me).    
Combine that with C.L.'s sharp yet fluid lyricism (how many MC's could rhyme like THIS back in '92??), and you unquestionably have one of the pillars of early 90's NYC boom bap.

Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - Mecca and the Soul Brother 30th Anniversary Mix (DJ Filthy Rich)

Live Twitch Mix from DJ Mighty Mi showcasing the Eastern Conference Records catalog mixed with the best of 80's and 90's hip hop.

Eastern Conference Records Reimagined pt. II

Today marks an important day in history. Known as "De La Day" throughout the hip hop community, 3/3/23 marks the 35th Anniversary of De La Soul's Debut Album " 3 Feet High and Rising". It also marks a new age for De La and their fans as all of their music is now available on streaming services along with limited edition physical releases. After the long fight over royalty percentages and ownership of their music, paired with the recent passing of Trugoy The Dove, we can only imagine the whirlwind that Maceo, Pos and Prince Paul are facing. 

We wanted to revamp our series The 10s with a special, long overdue dedication and thank you to De La Soul and our supporters. "Plug Tunes" focuses on a few of De La's lesser known features as well as some known classics. The daisy flower symbolizes new beginnings as well as innocence and purity. De La gracefully mastered their own sound and lane that represents that perfectly. 

Happy De La Day from your friends at UNT.
 
This mix is dedicated to the late, great Dave Jolicoeur aka Plug Two 🔌2

The 10s | Plug Tunes: 10 De La Features

This mix is very special to me as it is dedicated to the honor of the late great J Dilla. I made this to showcase the versatility & amazing quality of work from one of the greatest producers of all-time. 
   From emerging from the gritty city of Detroit to showcasing his genius to the entire world before his passing at age 32, Dilla (also known as Jay Dee) always kept his love for all forms of music front and center. It's my honor and duty to continue to push music forward and keep his memory alive with everything I have in me. 
       I will post a tracklist soon but I want you all to just engulf the mix and embrace the rhythms. Music can truly change lives and we all must be creative in every aspect of our lives. Word to Dilla.
   Special thanks and honor to his mother Maureen Yancey, his mentor Q-tip, Questlove, Busta Rhymes, ILLA J, Madlib and the man who taught him : Amp Fiddler. 
        -DJ Rashad Hayes
