SEPTEMBER '23

Mixtapes

hip hop tracks past and mainly present

Dj Slynke called and asked me to do a 5 to 10 minute piece for a Turntablist mixtape he was putting out w/ sets from guest Dj's from Queens, NY. Dj Spinbad, Dj JS-One, Dj Ody Roc and I were all featured on the Mixtape. The only Problem was that when Slynke called, he needed it done in less then 2 days. Also when he told me who was on it I had to be a lil more creative to make up for my lack of cutting skills. So with a not much sleep, lots of Iced Tea and Ritz (those who knew me then knew that was my studio fuel, lol).this is what I came up with. "Turntables Talk 1999". 
Recorded and mixed on a Roland 880 digital recorder. Summer of 1999.

#HIPHOP50: Classic Material The Breaks #2 (1987) mixed by Chris Read

In celebration of Hip Hop's 50th year, we've teamed up with London based ‘Classic Material’ to present a chronologically themed series of mixtapes celebrating the history of recorded rap music, mixed by Chris Read. Edition #2 of this mixtape series pays tribute to the Hip Hop of 1988, a year which many consider the ‘golden year’ of the late 80s. As samplers took over from drum machines as the producer’s tool of choice, the James Brown drum sound ruled supreme and lyrical subject matter explored new territory. With seminal (and at the time controversial) album releases from the likes of Public Enemy and NWA, this was a year that changed hip hop forever. This mix features classic cuts from singles and albums released during this important year. Artwork pays homage to iconic late 80s imprint 'Fresh Records'.

Classic Material Edition #2 (1988)

#HIPHOP50: Classic Material Edition #2 (1988) mixed by Chris Read

In celebration of Hip Hop's 50th year, we've teamed up with London based ‘Classic Material’ to present a chronologically themed series of mixtapes celebrating the history of recorded rap music, mixed by Chris Read. Edition #3 of this mixtape series pays tribute to the Hip Hop of 1989, another year in which the genre’s dominant sounds changed drastically. As the James Brown influenced sound that had dominated the late 80s played out its final days, a new wave of acts including De La Soul burst on to the scene injecting a light hearted honesty into their lyrical content which paved the way for the emerging ‘new school’ sound of the early 90s. Early releases from the likes of X Clan hinted at the ‘afrocentric’ sound that would come to prominence in the following years. Artwork pays homage to classic late 80s imprint 'Cold Chillin'.

#HIPHOP50: Classic Material Edition #3 (1989) mixed by Chris Read

In celebration of Hip Hop's 50th year, we've teamed up with London based ‘Classic Material’ to present a chronologically themed series of mixtapes celebrating the history of recorded rap music, mixed by Chris Read. Edition #4 in this year by year series pays tribute to the Hip Hop of 1990, a year when the genre really spread its wings with a diverse range of new sounds breaking in all corners of the US and overseas. 1990 is probably most celebrated as signalling the birth of the ‘afro-centric’ era, with debut albums from X-Clan, Professor X, Poor Righteous Teachers, A Tribe Called Quest and many others hitting stores. But 1990 was also an important year for the artists elsewhere on the Hip Hop spectrum: Compton’s Most Wanted, Capital Punishment Organisation and Above The Law all released debut albums proving LA had much to offer outside the mainstream popularity of NWA. Aside from new developments, established artists including LL Cool J, Big Daddy Kane, Public Enemy and EPMD all dropped classic long players. 

Track list:

1.  Classic Material Intro
2. Professor X - Definition of a Sissy
3. Chris Read - Theme #1 (Scratchapella)

HOT 90s Throwback Dancehall juggling Super Gold DJ Montana Tana1

Alpha's Dancehall Mix (Dancehall 2023: Skillibeng, Valiant, Byron Messia, Skeng, Kraff, and more)

In celebration of Hip Hop's 50th year, we've teamed up with London based ‘Classic Material’ to present a chronologically themed series of mixtapes celebrating the history of recorded rap music, mixed by Chris Read. Edition #6 in this year by year series pays tribute to the Hip Hop of 1992, a year most notable for shifts in production techniques and styles and, perhaps more importantly, sampling trends. Abandoning over-saturated funk standards in favour of obscure jazz samples, producers such Showbiz, Diamond D, Q-Tip and many others besides laid the foundations for the laid back jazz led sound that characterised countless East Coast classics of the early to mid 90s. On the West Coast, Dr Dre’s seminal Chronic LP also broke new ground in terms of production style with a polished, classicly LA sonic template that formed the blueprint for the G Funk sound which ruled supreme throughout the early 90s. Artwork pays tribute to iconic logo of Nervous Records Hip Hop sub-label 'Wreck Records'.

For this month’s Carhartt WIP Radio show we bring you FloFilz, one of Germany’s most in-demand hip hop producers. Since 2013 he has released instrumental records on labels such as Melting Pot Music and Jakarta, with a style that seductively blends soul- and jazz-influenced grooves.

FloFilz’s first two albums as a beatmaker were collaborative works, and in late 2014 he released his first solo LP titled "Metronom". Four instrumental albums have since followed, cementing his reputation as jazz-connoisseur producer, who seeks to open up the genre to a new generation of listeners.

For his Carhartt WIP Radio show, he melds older work with tracks from his upcoming album "Transit". As usual we also sat down to speak to this month’s host, chatting about his upbringing, Bach and J Dilla, and his thoughts on Germany’s hip hop scene. Make sure to check out the full FloFilz interview on our Carhartt WIP website and enjoy the music.
