RE-POST - Sorry for the dud link yesterday.Many of you enjoyed part II the other day, so I thought you'd all enjoy Part I. Below is Bowls' description of the mix.
Bowls in the mix with a selection of J Dilla's rock samples. This one's around 37 minutes long, but its not one of those jam-packed break extravaganzas. I decided to let a few of the songs breathe, due in large part to J Dilla's ear for samples. His patience in listening all the way through a 10-minute psych freak-out, only to grab four seconds at the 6:14 mark, is almost mind-numbing. Oh and in case you forgot...these are all original wax pressings. The only way to go!

I know most of you are kind of over the whole Dilla mix thing, but I was vibing out to this mix yesterday at work and thought I'd give Bowls some shine and post this mix. This is the kind of mix you should put on while you just cool-out and wish away all the world's problems. Remember, it could always be worse. As long as you have your health and a pot to piss in, everything else is a bonus. **Don't worry, I didn't even believe it as I typed it.

Too bad the sound quality isn't better on these videos because I'd love to get a hold of the audio for listening purposes.
No lie, I've watched this video 10 times in the last 3 days. The footage, the sound from the SP, Grap Luva's passion and humility, I just find it all very inspiring.
4 hours of radio that makes you wonder what if radio was always like this. What if hip hop still had the 90's sound. What if...

Something about seeing Pete Rock on the tables always seems to inspire me.

I spent all night trying to get this stupid Antimalware Doctor virus out of my computer. While I resolve these technical difficulties, go here for this Melo-D gem.
We'll keep Beatminerz today. All producers who are responsible for classic albums will always get respect on this blog. Evil D and Mr. Walt give me the impression that they straight live this music/hip hop ish.
Every once in a while I'll just randomly search "crate diggin" in youtube to see what I find. This is what I found this time around.
One of the more slept-on deejays with an excellent mix of one of the more slept-on crews. Great way to start off the week.

Chris Read done did it again with another high quality mix. Explanation of the mix below.
Classic Material (1984-1987) Part 2 - Mixed by Chris Read (right click, save as, to download)
This mix leans quite heavily toward sample based material from the latter part of that era so we’ve thrown an extra treat on the CD version – a bonus mix of electro rap and electro funk from the early to mid 80s.This mix, together with the bonus electro mix will appear on a very limited edtion C, available from Classic Material events. The first Classic Material event take places at The CAMP (City Arts and Music Project) on Saturday 16th October 2010 with special guest DJ FORMAT playing a 7inch only set of early 80s hip hop alongside CHRIS READ, DJ NICKNAME and DAILY DIGGERS. Entry is Free!

Here is that Rhettmatic 45 set I was looking for earlier in the week. Props to S.O.U.L for the link.
Who said beatmakers who use samplers/controllers etc... aren't musicians?
Let's devote today's re-post to one of my favorite Melo-D mixes. Original post below.
This Melo-D mix was recorded live at the Rootdown in December 03. For those of you who don't live in the L.A. area, the Rootdown is a Thursday night club where deejays such as the Beat Junkies, Madlib, PB Wolf, Revolution and many other of L.A.'s finest deejays, spin on a frequent basis.

Nice tasteful slow pace mix of a lot of funky soul jams. LoK's description of the mix below.
Got to love it when a "blank" CD fell out of a pile of stuff and it turned out to be an old Soul/Rare Groove set of mine from god knows when! Definately pre-serato so all from vinyl, a couple of re-issues - i'm not gonna front, there is some expensive records in there alongside some "cheap but goodies"! For instance first track i have a real one and that still goes for about £100 if you can find it!

Here is some more footage from the Red Bull A3C 45 Battle. I'm not sure why I can't find any video footage of Rhettmatic's set, but I'll post it as soon as I do. If you ask me, I think Scratch's 45 collection wins on this one.
This is a top notch mix that I highly recommend you all listen to. I can't think of a better way to start off the week.

Damn, I've always known that Diamond D is the illest on the beats and mic, but I never knew how nice he is on the tables. Watch Diamond flawlessly spin an all 45 mix.

This isn't just any old break mix. This may be the mother of all break mixes. You may not have heard of the Conmen, per say. But you have heard of producer extraordinaire Jake One, and your favorite deejay's favorite deejay, Mr. Supreme. Together, these two "conmen" have produced nothing short of a perfect mix. The best news of all is that this mix is just one mix of a five part series. The other four mixes will be posted in the very near future. Until then, remember that I'm always thinking of you on a Monday morning. Have a great week.

Here is the first 6 minutes of a great documentary titled "Red Beans & Rice." Filmed in Chicago, Milwaukee, Phoenix and California. Red Beans and Rice gives you the stories of various vinyl collectors and the collections they have acquired over their vinyl digging years. If you are a true vinyl digger, you should definitely check this out.

Excellent mix. Highly recommended.
This is one funky set right here. It's a couple of years old, but definitely worth watching if you haven't seen it before.
A little treat for all the Saturday faithful.
