Digging to the Next Level

Tuesday, February 2, 2010

Frank just got back from another trip to Africa and shared these pics of his digging adventures. It’s safe to say that nobody is iller than him when it comes to vinyl excavation.

New mix of the best 45s Frank found on his trip!

Here’s another great Brazilian mix courtesy of DJ Ferrari. I’ve been finding a lot of Brazilian records as of late so I was thinking about getting started on Braziliance Volume 2. Until then, enjoy this killer mix. If you dig, you can download Volume 2 on his site as well as many other mixes. Lots of record porn on his site too!

Clipse: We Got The Remix

Wednesday, October 21, 2009

This mixtape has been floating around for a while now, but I wanted to re-up it for anyone that missed it. It features unreleased tracks and remixes by some of today’s hottest producers like Diplo, Ghislain Poirier, A.Brucker & Sinden, Nick Catchdubs, Jake One, and The Amps. Benzi does a great job mixing this one and shows why the Clipse are one of the best rap groups out there.

Sweet Soul Mix

Monday, September 21, 2009

Mixes like these make you realize just how much incredible music is out there. I haven’t gotten into 45s too much, but this mix definitely tips me in that direction. The theme here is simple: sweet soul music. Thanks to Hammertime for putting this one together.

DJ Quik – Criminally Slept On

Thursday, September 3, 2009

the-best-of-dj-quik-mixed-by-matthew-africa

Matthew Africa was kind and talented enough to put together this mix of the sorely underrated DJ Quik. Besides Dre, I don’t think anyone else has had a bigger impact on the sound of LA rap over the past 20 years, yet he remains criminally slept on. These 39 tracks give a great overview of the man’s career that is certainly far from over. You can read more at Matthew Africa’s blog and download his mix which comes highly recommended. Great Labor Day weekend listening right here. Enjoy.

The Afrofunk Expressway

Friday, August 28, 2009

afrofunk_expressway2

International record dealer extraordinaire, Paulo of Superfly Records, recently put together this mix for Paris DJs, one of my favorite sites for mixes. Known for his record excavations from all corners of the globe, he stocks some of the coolest and rarest vinyl at his online shop (soon to be re-launched). Needless to say, I definitely owe a small chunk of my collection to that man.Paulo’s been busy putting together mixes using records he’s pulled on recent trips to Africa, this being the second in his Afrofunk Expressway series. The first volume in addition to another African mix can be downloaded at www.parisdjs.com.

African music is quickly becoming a bit of an obsession of mine, and I’m busy planning an African mix of my own for the site. Until then, I wanted to post this mix to get the African vibes out there. Hope you like it.
