Mixtapes

"I'm the biggest Tribe fan so it brings me a lot of pleasure to drop this mix.  I haven't followed their solo acts much, but I watched them like a hawk growing up.  In fact, the first piece of music I personally got my own hands on was their first album from the public library.  I can talk all day about this group, its emotional for me in fact, because my fav. genre is hip-hop and after midnight marauders, hip-hop split into underground and pop, and I found both styles were trying too hard." - DJ M-Rock [@twitter.com/mrockgotbeats]

Time Is Illmatic

A good few years ago i put this mix of early mid tempo rave and hardcore favourites. It was only available at Piccadilly Records in Manchester and now after many requests for a downloadble version here it is. As for the first rave CD i did in this series titled 'Timeless breaks hardcore circa 92', that will be uploaded when this reaches 1000 listens.

This is a true representation of the Northern Rave scene from back in the day which was always a slower laid back tempo than the hectic sounds of the south. Big ups to the great northern rave clubs of the early ninities - Bowlers, Shelly's  Kintetic, Wigan Pier, Maximes, The Hippodrome and many more

Dr. Dre 'The Chronic' 25th Anniversary Mixtape mixed by DJ Matman

November 9, 1993 will forever go down as one of the greatest days in hip hop history.  Two of the genre’s most revered albums dropped on the same day:  Wu-Tang Clan’s debut ‘Enter The 36 Chambers’, &  A Tribe Called Quest’s third LP ‘Midnight Marauders’.  I remember riding my bike to the mall, with money I had earned from my after-school job.  I had anticipated this day for awhile, and saved up in advance to pick up both albums (at that age $40 felt like $500).  For the months that followed, both albums fought for playing time on my boombox.  One moment, I was transported to the boulevard of Linden, and the next to the rugged streets of Shaolin.  Those albums stayed in my rotation forever (literally).
To mark the 25th anniversary of both LP’s, I thought it might be a good idea to try and take the vocals from Wu-Tang’s album, and blend them over the instrumentals from Midnight Marauders.  I wasn’t sure it would work at first, but as is usually the case, inspiration hit at midnight when I was trying to sleep (the coincidence of the timing is not lost on me).  A couple of hours later, I managed to pair up every single Wu-Tang vocal with a suitable beat from MM.  The intent was not to improve on the originals in any way….that would be impossible, as I consider them both to be perfect bodies of work.  Rather, it was about orchestrating a fun concept, and putting a totally new spin on these well-worn classics.  The contrast of Wu’s gritty street raps over Tribe’s jazzy production works in an unexpected way.  Now, I present to you my personal tribute to these legendary groups:   A Clan Called Wu - “Enter The Marauders”.
