So I’m on Instagram – gonna try and post some interesting, record-and-hip-hop-nerd-type photos. Here’s something that fell out a record sleeve recently – a promo postcard for those buyers of early Solesides (now Quannum) vinyl. Notice the early web address – Solesides didn’t even have its own domain name, but you could still get the latest 411. Diggin this joint, they all kill it but Big KRIT… Man YouTube is so full of ill covers of songs..love finding this kinda stuff.
500mixes.com is a new mix site from curator Eric Nord. Lots of great stuff to last you hours of listening pleasure. Dope video of Rhettmatic and Shortkut keeping turntablism alive, and covering the all-time dj classic, “Adventures on the Wheels of Steel” by Grandmaster Flash. Fresh.
Ended up watching parts of a long highlight reel of DMC champions (below) last night, and admittedly while I’d seen many before, I’d totally missed out on this cat DJ David. Both his winning sets – 1990 and 1991 – are crazy on many levels. He’s like a manic drummer the way he goes at the tables, but also keeps things styles and flavor. Dope. Read the rest of this entry »
Digging Diaries 001: Seattle / Portland Winter Trip (Free Download) “Digging Diaries” will be a new mixtape series from me for 2013, chronicling recent digs and travels I might take throughout the year. I went to Seattle and Portland over the winter holidays, and ended up shipping back a thick stack of vinyl to NYC. This mix is composed of just a few of those records, eclectic and vibey, trying to play some stuff you don’t normally hear, along with a couple classic breaks for the heads. Tracklist: Introduction |
