Inspiration from this mix came from a bunch of places, but mainly from a series of mixes I’ve been listening to regularly for the last 8 months or so. These are the Blogariddim mix series, Grievious Angel’s Dubstep Sufferah series, Mr Trick’s Dang in Dub mixes and DJ Pain’s film based series. While taking inspiration from all these, I’ve tried to still keep my own mix original and different to them, but they have all influenced me on some level or other. I can’t recommend all of these enough if you like serious mixes.
As for the mix itself, as I said it follows on from last year’s ‘Packing Shit Up’ mix (which is still available here). Various styles mashed over 2h25, covering electronica, hip hop, dub, dubstep, grime and some other things thrown in for good measure. There’s a few exclusives in there as well, from Kode 9, Lone Wolf, Vex’d, 2tall, Various Productions, Forensics and ENA – big ups to them all for the hook ups. In addition I’ve also added a lot of vocal samples from various sources: a Noam Chomsky lecture from 96, Bill Hicks and Richard Pryor live, Greg Palast, Madlib interview and Sun Ra interview. This time I also wanted to get cuts on there, which I didn’t do last time, so I ropped in some help from 2tall and DJ And who came correct with some amazing cuts. Different styles, be sure to check them when you get a minute, as well as all the artists featured on there. If you like what you hear I recommend them all.
Let’s face it, the checkpoints are all there: influenced by DJ Pain (and yes, my Dang In Dub mix, I was humbled to read), featuring the likes of 2tall and And (he of the amazing 45 Selection mix that scored massive downloads on here some time back)… its got “gonna be liked by readers of this blog” stamped all over it.
Here then, is part 1 of the mix – all 1hr 12mins of it. Part 2 will be podcast/linked for download in coming days. BTW – its worth noting that this mix comes to you in full, technicolour 320kbps MP3. Boom!
