  • Beastie Boys Sample Source Collection

    Following on from yesterdays post with the sample sources for Main Source’s Breaking Atoms album, and a little tip off from DJ Crump, I found myself stumbling across a right gem! Turns out, those helpful chaps over at Miscreant Creations have been busy working away to find all of the sample sources for pretty much everything the Beastie Boys have ever done..

    I’ve sourced and tracked down damn near every song that has ever been sampled by the Beastie Boys from Licensed to Ill up until To The 5 Boroughs, and all points in between. This has been an ongoing project since 1998 and although it will never be 100% complete, this is probably as close as it gets. As it stands, the only ‘source’ that I wasn’t able to track down was Modern Dynamic Physical Fitness Activities by Ed Durlacher, which was sampled in Body Movin’

    Yes indeeeeeed!

  • Chairman Maf – Dusted (EP)

    Chairman Maf is a name that should be familiar to all of my regular followers on the blog, facebook and also soundcloud, consistently putting out really heavy, but at the same time beautiful string and flute laden beats, conjouring up scenes from 70s blaxploitation films, sunlit meadows on 8mm cine film and smoky jazz cafes from the 50s..

    His latest 4 track EP, ‘Dusted’ continues on with the dreamy soundscapes and the kind of drums that got me into hiphop in the first place. Check it out here:

  • Para – Like Moths

    Para decided to do this mix after a night of watching Television , Program after program of complete irrelevant Nonsense sandwhiched between advert after advert trying thier best to sell me something we really don’t need
    He turned off the TV and started working on this mix
    He was initially going to make this a complete Instrumental mix but ended up dropping the odd Vocal track in there too
    Its a little darker than his usual mixes but gave him the opportunity to include tracks that we really like listening to
    Its a non stop continuous 60min mix and we are giving it away for free so enjoy
    Para has been putting out mix CD’s since the late 90’s, he joined the Breakin Bread stable in 2007 and has put out a few 7″s a couple of mix CDs and his debut album

  • 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.
