Stumbled across this on this mixtape during on a fruitless search for a decent copy of the Booty Bass remix of ‘Pony’ by Ginuwine (If anyone can help, send me a message…) which features a sample of ‘Moments in Love’ by Art of Noise.
Heard a few bits by these guys before, but now I’m definitely going to have to investigate further…
Also check out the ‘Moments in Mixtape’ by nguzunguzu here:
I know I’ve been banging on about the mag and the CD for a fair bit, and if you’re one of my fans on facebook you’re probably sick of it by now, and to be honest, if you’ve not yet taken my advice and checked it out you’re probably busy reading about David Beckham’s new haircut or that thing that wassname off TOWIE’s girlfriend did with that guy off that film.
Buuuuut, if none of those things apply to you, then sort yourself out and listen to Sammy B-Side’s WP sessions Vol 1 right here:
http://www.wordplaymagazine.com/2012/04/hip-hop/wp-sessions-vol-1/
If you like it, as I’m sure you will, then fling ’em a couple o’ nuggs and you can listen to it on your earPods or whatever they have nowadays, or, even better, buy a copy of the mag including the CD for about £3.50 in postage direct:

If that still seems like a bit of a stretch, record it directly out of your nan’s Pentium III onto cassette and whack it into your Goodmans StrollBloke ™
Starting off as a Graffiti mag about a decade ago, Wordplay has recently broadened its horizon, and started to cover the music side of the UK hiphop scene. The most recent issueprovided me with some excellent entertainment on a recent long flight out to the other side of the world and back. Reminds me of reading Big Daddy cover to cover over and over again back in the day.
Not only is the mag itself high quality, with varied enough content to appeal to both the hardcore heads and casual observers alike, but if you’re quick enough to snap up a copy of the recent issue (from Fopp, or Dogfish, and possibly other cool places too) , you’ll find it includes a wicked mix CD from Sammy B-Side, expect to see a few posts in the future featuring some of the standout tracks, in my opinion…
The issue, complete with free CD, is available to buy here: http://wordplayshop.bigcartel.com/
(If you’re in the UK, you’ll get it delivered to your doorfor less than a your average pint at your local, for those overseas postage makes it a little more, but step the pint up to something like a Hoegaarden and the analogy still applies…)
For those of you who can’t get a physical copy, you can read it online here:

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

Forty Eight minutes of 60’s beat music. For 60’s beat heads. Original 60’s beat heads of course. From stone cold funk classics and german library nipple twisters to vocal jazzers and spoken beat poetry. It’s all there in forty eight minutes of fun..k
A great mix from Cambridge’s very own Lee Scott, who I’ve had the pleasure of playing alongside at Soul 4 Soul (and will no doubt be doing so again very soon..)
Check out more from Lee here: http://soundcloud.com/lee_scott
and also keep an eye on his Play-House page if you’re into the deep house end of things, and be sure to head down to The Fountain on a Thursday, as you’ll either catch him spinning house or me spinning funk on the alternate week…

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.
More stuff from Mr M here:
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.
