Breaks & Snacks 2 - Mixed by DJ Ian Head



Incredible mix! Read the below description and just try not to listen. I dare you. Highly Recommended.

I started working on this tape over a year ago. People seemed to dig the first one, so I figured I'd cut up a few more random breaks and funky records for a sequel. After laying down the music, it still seemed missing something, and so I started going back and adding vocal samples and audio clips, from both vinyl and digital sources. There is an old clip of De La Soul being interviewed on NPR where Dave and Maceo talk about the ways djs and producers buy and dig for records, and it inspired me to search further for related - and unrelated - soundbites. In the end, this tape is kind of an adventure through the world of record-buying, classic movies, 90s Grammy award ceremonies, and b-side rap accapellas, all over a backdrop of breakbeats direct from my personal crates. Like the first mix, while the bulk of the cuts and mixing was done using Serato, everything you hear besides the interview clips is from original wax.

Rock And Soul Holiday Party 2016 - DJ Ragoza



Super clean, diverse set at my favorite record store in the world (though it appears they don't actually sell records anymore) Rock & Soul.

#5MinutesOfFunk (003) - Mixed byDJ Scram Jones



There are parts of this routine that are unworldly (like the freak of Ain't No Half Steppin); there are other parts that are beneath a set of this caliber.  Regardless, Highly Recommended.

DJ Premier Megamix - Mixed by J. Period



Highly Recommended.
DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE GREAT ARE GONE TO PAY RESPECT.
New rule: honor thy style fathers. After losing so many of our musical heroes this past year, it's time to stop waiting until the greats are gone to pay respect. J.PERIOD's new series "RESPECT THE DJ" pays tribute to legendary hip hop DJ/producers who changed the game--and continue to. No better way to kick things off than with a mini-mix tribute to one of the greatest hip hop producers of all-time -- DJ Premier -- on his 51st birthday.

Tuamie Boiler Room L.A. Set

Champions of Sound Vol. 1 (Side A) - Mixed by Danny Akalepse



Highly Recommended

 I did this cassette a few years back from my guy Chicago Dave, they duplicated it and sold it out of a vending machine at The Owl in Chicago. It did real well on the guy who ran the venues soundcloud, but I don't know what happened to that guy, or what's happening at that venue anymore. I listened to this the other day, it has some good parts. I hope you enjoy it. There's a B Side too, but I think that's sticking to the tape. Until I find myself beside myself for real. The backdrop is of the luckiest fabric ever woven.

In The Lab with Roc Marciano (Rosebudd Edition)


A couple months ago I heard a nasty rumor regarding the artistic direction of Roc Marciano's now recently released album.  I won't even dignify the details because it turned out to be very false.  Roc delivered again.  Go buy that Rosebudd if you haven't done so already.  Nahright recently did another installment of In the Lab (Rosebudd Edition) with Roc Marciano.

“But then I’ll just pick up a stack of records, and I don’t really care what’s on them or what they say. I just listen. That’s how you discover stuff. If you keep digging and keep looking for stuff that you’re already familiar with, you’ll always get familiar sounding shit. Like, ‘Oh, this sounds like that last record.’
