Great vid from Sideburn. Not quite sure what is going on a lot of the time but looks brilliant anyway!

vibes

easy now.

Best mix I have heard so far this summer by miles. Been playing it a lot, headz will have fun picking out all the samples. Slightly addictive. So many great tunes, so chill and so well mixed together. Judging by the comments along the timeline a lot of people feel the same way.

I’ve done 4 x 1 hour mixes (and a 5th is in the pipeline), solely made up of old tunes sampled in classic Hip Hop tracks – but cut up on two copies / decks to re-create the loops / chops people used.
I didn’t use any compilations, reissues, bootlegs, or downloads. All originals. I’ve always been a digging fiend on the side!
But – to save the original pressings (and also cos it’s hard enough to get one copy of some of these, let alone two!) – I loaded them into Serato vinyl, so I could scratch away to my heart’s content, with ruining anything!

Great new Little Dragon EP out. I actually prefer the original non-remix version but this is sick too.

So many great tunes on these mixes, take me way back.

Years ago when I was around 18 or so, I remember going to the Camden Jazz cafe with some friends to watch Gil Scott-Heron play. We got kind of drunk standing at the front with our smuggled in bottle of vodka and as the show was absolutely amazing, my friend Dieter and I went up to him afterwards to say hi, thank you and to shake the man’s hand. I think he was as wasted as we were but he was cool and thanked us. At one point during the show he played the start of a song and Dieter went ‘Yea!’ and he stopped playing and said what song is this, and dieter said the wrong song. hahaha, was pretty funny.  RIP Dude.

Bought this album today on I tunes. Kind of like Roots Manuva crossed with Tricky, with a bit of flying lotus thrown in, digging it.

More upbeat mixtape by him here too. Very nice:

A quick fire, attention frying, mash of sure fire club hits, stone cold classics, countless acapellas and turntable tricknology, all set to a visual feast of music videos, pop culture cameos, kung fu interludes and cinematic delights. Mixed with incredible flair and imagination, this is another bench mark in contemporary DJ culture. As Cheeba puts it… “It’s cut and paste sound and pictures for people with open minds and short attention spans.”

Can DL it here. Tracklist below.

With an average of 1,536 visits and 31,244 hits per day to this site there must be a lot of different music tastes out there but if you are into the more electronic end of the spectrum then this dude offers a huge selection of new mixes for you to download. Covering a lot of my longtime favorite radio shows, Benji B, Gilles Peterson, Jazzanova etc. as well as new ones like Scream and Benga, he is really on top of it in terms of uploads, posting the shows straight after they are out. Mainly UK fresh. Dig in:

Cant get enough of this tune, takes its mellow time to get going but what a tune. Deep:

Jamie xx – In The Mix for Benji B on BBC Radio 1 by Hypetrak

Short and sweet mix, first 30 secs are a little slow but well worth a listen or DL overall if you are into that experimental, Lo-Fi, bass heavy, vocal electronic shit. Which we are.
