With Libra Vs Sagittarius I set out to make an entire love mixtape rather than a love song. Put simply, this was a mixtape made for a girl. The selections pertain to the bands we discovered together, gigs witnessed and moments shared. Should I even be sharing this, I don't know?Well, my heart has long since been trampled and looking back at the track listing now it’s a motley bunch of tunes. Neither of us had a penchant for pop music so our sing-alongs and snuggles were most frequently accompanied by Sunn0))) or This Heat! Stylistically speaking it’s one of my most diverse mixes and all the artists have entire discographies that warrant a listen: Dungen, Embryo, Kraftwerk, Neu etc. It also features a few of my favourite New Zealand acts; Akaname, Thrashing Marling and Leila Adu.

Peace Everyone,
Just recently while doing some cleaning in my home studio, I found a bunch of old cassette tapes which were the aircheck tapes of the Beat Junkie Hour......This is an old recording of an episode of the Beat Junkie Hour Radio Show on KWIZ 96.7FM back in 1993/94 KWIZ was a type of station that you had to pay to play on the air, and at that time, it was $200 or $300 for an hour slot. Even though there was alot of us, we really didn't have the money to always pay for it, so we would get some sponsors to help us pay for our airtime (as you will notice with some of our "commercials". LOL!).....As you can also tell from the recording, we were pretty young, too excited to be on the airwaves, and horrible on the mic, but we were playing alot of the classic underground as well as breaking some new music from the West Coast; we were the first ones to play the Nonce, Ras Kass, and Dilated Peoples when they were known as the Fatliners. This is about the same time when the Baka Boyz first came to LA and started working at LA's Power 106.
Around this time, the crew was starting to grow, as well as starting to make a reputation in the Dj Battle circuit like DMC & the Rap Sheet Battles....also a little tidbit of information; we had 3 short-lived members in the Beat Junkies at that time: Special J, Dj Sweet Pea (now know as the producer Paul Poli, who produced such hits for the Black Eyed Peas. Christine Millian, & Ashanti), & Dj Rectangle....yes, THAT Dj Rectangle! And this is before Babu & Mr. Choc became official members of the Beat Junkies....officially, there are 13 members in the Beat Junkies.
On this particular episode, you actually get to hear Beat Junkie members that you may or may not be familiar with: Dj Curse, Tommy Gun, & Dj Sweet Pea, as well as J & myself in the mix and the mic. We also shout out other members like Shortkut, D-Styles, Melo-D, Icy Ice, Symphony, Havik, & What?! Most of the time, when you listen to the show, we mostly be cracking jokes on each other, do alot of shoutouts, try to pick up on chicks on the phone, or even hanging up on them....but you can tell we were having fun.
While transfering this from casette to Pro Tools, listening to these tapes reminded me of how young and carefree we were back then; i also cringed at how we sound on the mic (i must've said "yknow what im sayin" at least 20 times) as well as my mixes. J always kills it, even back then....boy, have times changed...LOL!!
I'll try to upload more recordings of the the show later down the line....I'm still going thru tapes and transfering onto protools. Anyways, here's a little piece of Beat Junkie History for you to experience.....enjoy!

The long awaited soul mix. I've been waiting so long with this mix that records have been stacking up way too heavy, so I have decided to split it into two (maybe even three pieces/mixes).. Instead of throwing together all sorts of soul music, I've been trying to be a little consistent soundwise when putting together this mix. Most of the tape his headnod tempo soul killers. Mostly 45's, but a couple of LP tracks in there aswell. A couple of "dancers" aswell, but nothing heavy enough to be a part of the next soul tape I am doing (100% dancers). The next tape will also include a lot more newer soul music. Mostly modern stuff.
Not 100% satisfied with the sound on this one, due to some digital compressing I did now that my analog compressor is fucked up. Anyhew. It's a mix. You'll enjoy it..!!!
BIG UP to my favourite soul DJ's: Phill Most Chill The Soulman, Oslo Soul Experience, Bjørn Kowalski Hansen, Tim Robinson, Rev. Shines, Red Greg, A Downtown Affair NYC & Jared from Big City Records NYC.
Next Touchdown night will be friday the 9th of December at Turkish Delight in Oslo.
More info comin here soon: http://www.facebook.com/events/209014105841287/
No tracklist for this mix. You wonderin' about some tracks? Then ask me.

Merry Xmas y'all !!!

We invited Swedish DJ Devastate (BBE Records) to do a mix for Wax Poetics and to celebrate the release 'OptiMace – The future is not what it used to be – part 1', a brand new 7-inch out on November 24rd 2011 with remixes by Big Mister Doom, KRSUR and Illy Symphony.
”Mellow Madness Vol 2” is a mix full of laid back music inspired by the Fremdtunes sound. The mix is compiled and mixed by DJ Devastate. Devastate is a producer/DJ from South Sweden. His jazzy instrumental debut album 'Movement/Silence' was released on BBE recordings early 2010. Devastate also released a track on labelsampler 'Fremdtunes – the series 2' and is currently working on a brand new instrumental solo album and a production album with his crew Elite Fleet.
Fremdtunes is a Dutch independent recordlabel/collective, mainly focussing on (instrumental) producer-based music and worked/works with artists like DJ Optimus, Kelpe, Coco Bryce, Kid Sundance, Mister Adam,Soosh, Mister Critical, Boulaone, Jameszoo, El da Sensei, Erwin Vann, Pierce Warnecke, Superelectric, Prince Po, Klaas Verplancke, Solo Moderna, DJ Grazzhoppa, Gumshoe and many others.
I remember the first time I heard Brown Sugar and how I felt. That ws 95' and i still get goosebumps every time I play that record. Then came the wait for Voodoo which I didn't fall in love with as quickly but has definitely grown on me since then to the point where I almost hold both in the same regard. I hope James River sees the light of day eventually and D'angelo is back on track with all his personal drama behind him. Definitely one of the most talented artists of my generation. Two albums in 16 years is far from prolific but how do you recapture the magic which defines an era of music? It will be interesting to see if he can do it with James River.
