  • Mr~M’s Mad March Mix

    http://soundcloud.com/mrm-6/mad-march-mix

    Another great mix from Mr M, who can be found regularly dropping the heavy funk 45s at “We Love James Brown” at The Cow, and also as one of our regular guest DJs at Soul 4 Soul at La Raza.

  • Dan Greenpeace – Piano Breaks 2

    Brand new mix from Dan Greenpeace, an homage to DJ Yoda’s ‘Piano Breaks’ that came out in 1998

    For more information visit http://www.dangreenpeace.com/

    So I should probably put this into some kind of context. Back in 1998 a then fledgling bedroom DJ, Yoda, put out a mix tape called ‘Piano Breaks’ (Google it – it’s out there somewhere) using rap records that used piano samples. I was a fan as soon as I heard his early mix tapes and went on to help him release others on my Fat Lace imprint like ‘Jewbonics’ as well as our first collaboration ‘Jews Paid’, the precursor to ‘Unthugged’. So roll on some 14 years and ‘Unthugged 3D’ is about to drop but in an act of total randomness sparked by an idea seeded on a long ass flight, I decided to precede our new collab with a mix tape of my own, an homage to the original ‘Piano Breaks’. I should also add that you’ll probably point out some notable omissions but I tried not to include any tracks Yoda put on his original mix tape. Enjoy, share, doowutchyalike but leave a comment somewhere if you’re feeling it.

    A wicked combination of afro funk with Ghostface Killah’s bars over the top… From the same guy that produced the Mos Dub (Mos Def with dub instrumentals), Jaydiohead (Jay-z vs Radiohead) and various other interesting albums… (Which I really should have already blogged, actually…)

  • Jonny Drop – Intuition Ft Minnie Malloi

    [soundcloud]http://soundcloud.com/jonnydrop/intuition-ft-minnie-malloi[/soundcloud]

    When the hustle and bustle of Cambridge got too much, Jonny Drop did what many do, and snuck off to seek refuge in the quaint old sleepy village of London.. Luckily for us, while he was tucked up there, he carried on DJing and producing, resulting in gems such as the one above…

    I’m lucky enough to have a guest mix from Jonny which you can hear on tomorrow’s ‘Rad Radio, Yo!’ show tomorrow night, on Cambridge 105fm..

    Go find more treasure at the following locations, or alternatively, just flop about like a drooling baby and wait until I inevitably spoon feed you some more.. Who’s a good baby? WHO’S A GOOD BABY! YES YOU AAAARRRRRE!!

  • Van Morrison – I´ve Been Working (Rayko Drunkcat edit)

    Nice summery vibes from the king of the re-edit, Rayko. I’ve had this tune on my computer for quite a while now, in fact I’ve played a couple of times on the radio show, and quite a few times at various gigs, but it was labelled just as ‘Rayko – Drunkcat’, so good to finally find out who the original artist is..
