IKSRFO - The Best Of Redman (curated by DJ Trex) - Mixed by DJ Platurn

platurn · IKSRFO - The Best Of Redman (curated by DJ Trex)

This mix was actually brought about by a request to DJ Platurn by a nurse working on the front lines of the pandemic. You can read more about that story HERE. This mix is certainly a worthy tribute to the dedicated people working in the trenches of this nasty pandemic. Highly Recommended.

The Junkyard (All 7" Vinyl) - Mixed by DJ Platurn

One of my personal favorite mixtape DJs.

Return from Oz - Mixed by DJ Platurn

Great mix from a few years back from one of the great breaks mixtape DJs.

Help is On the Way (Discogs Mix 062) - Mixed By DJ Platurn

DJ Platurn - Help Is On The Way: A Native Tongues Inspired Disco Mix

Tracklist available here: blog.discogs.com/en/discogs-mix-62-dj-platurn/

A 23 year veteran of the music industry, DJ Platurn has traveled the world many times over bringing phenomenal music to multiple corners of the globe. Through his travels, he’s built a reputation as a tastemaker with vision and a sense of community and in turn preserving crucial aspects of DJ and music culture. Founder of the Oakland Faders and The 45 Sessions, the man is just getting started. With a few very popular A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul tribute mixes under his belt, we were excited when he proposed the theme for his exclusive contribution to the Discogs mix series: A Native Tongues Inspired Disco Mix.

Platurn had the following to say about his mix:

Two Tribe and two De La mixes deep, I wanted to try my hand at all the uptempo disco type joints the Natives have sampled over the years. Primarily all 12″ versions, edited and with some at-liberty sprinkles on top, I let the grooves breathe and stepped back on the heavy tech. Nothing crazy rare going on here, just good music with the classic dance floor vibe in mind. After all these years, the NT catalog of breaks never ceases to amaze, and the roller skate OGs stand alone tough as anything out. Slap it on whenever and wherever — it’s sure to make you get up and dance.

So, whether you are a Native Tongues fan (ATCQ, De La, Jungle Brothers, Black Sheep, et. al.), a breaks/samples head, or a disco fan (why not all three?), DJ Platurn’s “Help Is On The Way” is guaranteed to brighten your day!

TBOATCQV2 - Mixed by DJ Platurn

Volume 2 of DJ Platurn's seminal mix series of Tribe breaks. It's been a minute since I listened to volume 1, but I've got to say that volume 2 sounds far more impressive (at least on the first listen).

TBOATCQ V.1 came out roughly 10 years ago. It made its way around the world and back, influenced countless other Native type mixes, and even played a role in the editing of the Tribe documentary itself. Only right to bring Michael Rapaport in on this next one. Enjoy these vibes, & stuff. Peace -- DJ Platurn

So This Is De La Heaven Pt. 2 - Mixed by DJ Platurn

As per tradition, a Highly Recommended mix posted the day prior to a new Pipomixes joint. In my opinion, this one is better than the first.

“Out of all the De La mixes i’ve heard this is the most creative one. Let me take it back in time a bit and say this is ‘Strickly Dan Stuckie’. Salute, salutary, and salutations!!!” – DJ Maseo
“De La Soul is arguably the most creative Hip Hop group that ever existed. Everything about them was and still is different. From their sense of fashion, to the music they made. Some people considered them the Hip Hop Hippies. I’d like to think of them as Hip Hop Heroes! So glad DJ Platurn has done this mix tape tribute. The new generation of Hip Hop fans needs to know De La Soul!” – Rob Swift
“DJ Platurn’s new De La Heaven mix is a love letter to the craftmanship and care that went into making some of the purest Hip-Hop songs ever produced. Any music fan will appreciate this respectfully made De La mix.” — Michael Rapaport
“DJ Platurn kills it again – it’s De La Heaven!” – DJ Andy Smith
“The mix is incredible. A great educative high brow delivery that really exposes the genius and elaborate approach of De La Soul productions. The Maseo intro is beautiful.” – Mr. E
“We’re ALL fans, but Platurn is like a walking Native Tongue Encyclopedia. This is
what happens when a DJ takes that kinda knowledge, goes “De La” specific with
it, then runs THAT through some turntables (not once, but TWICE!)… Ooodles of
Ooohs!” – DJ Z-Trip
“Platurn reverse engineered the genius behind De La Soul’s incomparable melodic legacy.” – DJ Nu-Mark
“DJ Platurn effortlessly captures the true essence of real Hip Hop and the spirit of a generation of music that is timeless. De La Heaven teleports us right back to our roots, reminding us of everything we love about Hip Hop and good music!” – Faust & Shortee
“Nice!” – Supreme La Rock
“Platurn murks the De La catalog and shows utmost respect and skill for cutting the original breaks that raised us on the Native Tongues.” – DJ J-Boogie
“Part two of an impeccable mix celebrating De La’s timeless wit and brilliance — a rap nerd’s dream come true.” – David Ma (Wax Poetics)
“Expertly selected, perfectly mixed, and fun as hell. The tall guy did it again!” — DJ Eleven

So This is De La Heaven Part 1 & 2 (snippet)

Here's a re-post of DJ Platurn's classic De La Soul break mix for all the non-hardcore heads who weren't on the blog when this mix was lighting up the mix blog world. You can also check the 13 minute snippet of part 2 recently posted to Platurn's soundcloud.

Blendapella Part 2 (full version) - Mixed by The Blend Kings (Platurn & Enki)

I posted the snippet a few weeks ago, but Platurn and Enki decided to post the entire stream last week. You can stream the entire mix for your listening pleasure, but you'll have to pay for the mix if you want to download it and keep for the archive. This is an incredible mix and anyone who has attempted a blend tape should be able to appreciate the top shelf technique.

Blendapella Vol. 2 (Snippet) - The Blend Kings (Platurn and Enki)

I was sold after just 5 minutes of this mix, but the rest of you have 17 minutes of blendvana to determine whether you actually want to pay for a mix. Either way, you've got to give props for a mix as thoughtful and well executed as this.

Mobile Mondays: All 45's Live Set - Mixed by DJ Platurn

The deejay and mix needs no introduction. You all love them 45 sets and Platurn is a top shelf deejay. Enough said.

Debauchery Volume 1 - Mixed by DJ Platurn

Not your average mix here. But that is why Platurn is one of the illest. The title says it all. The perfect mix for listening on your way to the holiday party or to begin a debaucherous weekend.

The Big Playback V.1 - Mixed by DJ Platurn &Edaboss

I don't think I've posted a James Brown mix in over a minute now. I've got a Jay-B'z mix collecting dust that will post one of these days. In the meantime, enjoy one of the best mixed by one of the best.

This mix was executed by myself and DJ Edaboss in the year 2007. James passed away on Christmas Day in 2006. His contribution to funk & soul music will never be forgotten.
