Sizzurp To The Dome - Sparkle Motion

My first time using Ableton and first attempt at a chopped and screwed mix. Some of my favorite hip hop and RNB tracks chopped and dropped down to 80 BPM for that extra lean. Best served with some of that purple drank.

Mega Blends - Mixed by Sparkle Motion

Mr. Tobes has expressed on a few occasions via his twitter timeline that he's gunning for that number one spot on the blog's Best Mixes of the Year List.  He along with DJ Yoda (collectively known as Sparkle Motion) have fired a clear warning shot to all potential contenders.  This mix will be particularly enjoyable for those who enjoy their blends extended.  80s hits blended over classic rap beats from the same decade, intermittently sprinkled with a touch of turntablist flair here and there.  Highly Recommended.

Sparkle Motion follow up the hugely successful 'Miracle Blends' mix with the highly anticipated 'Mega Blends', the first ever all out 80s Pop x 80s Rap blend mixtape.

Putting their own unique twist on some of the biggest pop hits of the 80s decade, "Mega Blends" breathes new life into classic Billboard chartbusters by blending them with classic 80s rap instrumentals.

Night Hype - Mixed by Sparkle Motion

Every single one of these Sparkle Motion mixes have been absolute money. This mix is certainly no exception.

Sparkle Motion are back with another speaker smasher for ya boomin' systems: 'Night Hype' takes it back to the days of stonewashed jean-jacket combos, doorknocker earrings, hi-top fades, 8-Ball jackets and customized Dapper Dan leathers.

During the late 80s/early 90s, R&B music was only just starting to flirt with a harder hip hop sound. Getting rappers to feature on R&B tracks was something very new at the time. Producers started moving away from polished record production to drum machine-backed rhythms that included hip hop influences.

This mix is dedicated to that era, and intended to seriously cold rock the hypest house or block party. Once you hit play, prepare for fly honeys and bass devastation everywhere. Word to ya muthaaa.
