De La Soul Is Dead 30th Anniversary Mix by DJ Filthy Rich

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. Alongside the Hip Hop series, this companion Breaks series takes our re-cap of Rap History a level deeper, this time reconstructing the classics of the Hip Hop canon from their constituent sample material. Arranged chronologically of course, this seventh volume pieces together popular Hip Hop tunes from the year of 1992, utilising only the Funk, Soul, Rock, Jazz and Disco tracks from which they were originally constructed - over 150 breaks in the mix! Artwork pays homage to Paul Winley's iconic 'Super Disco Brakes' compilation series.

The Noise Beneath My Skin

River of love

J.Rocc & Babu "World Famous Joints Volume 2"

Unique mixtape with original music from the forthcoming Malcolm and Martin album due out in feb '11 blended with the funky sounds of the era that kept the movements of these to icons alive. Freestyles over Kool &amp; the Gang and James Brown...not lil' wayne beats and t-pain sounds. who else is doin' anything remotely close to this.....?



DJ Revolution presents "Malcolm and Martin" Movement Music

London’s very own Spin Doctor has been a busy boy while in Lockdown. He has created this epic mix dedicated to the powerhouse that is Q-Tip. Using 50 tracks to mark The Abstract’s 50th Birthday on Friday 10th April 2020.
 
The mix combinies a bunch of Tip’s productions, verses, samples, interviews and more. From A Tribe Called Quest to Solange, Nas to Quincey Jones, the mix explores all aspects of this man’s genius.
 
There are very few artists that can claim such impact on an entire genre, but A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip can do just that and more. As a member of what is widely agreed to be the greatest Hip-Hop group of all time, as a solo artist and as a producer for the great and the good, Q-Tip’s impact is immeasurable. Through his influence on the likes of J-Dilla, Kanye West and Pharrell, his influence can still be heard throughout all forms of Hip-Hop and Soul. Keep Bouncing!
