some re-ups

When I set this blog up and started ripping my old tapes I wasn't clued up on the whole digital fidelity thing so most of the early posts are at 128 kbps. This morning I re-ripped 2 of my all time favourite tapes at 320 and added them to my mixcloud page. Go check 'em out...

Evil Dee on Hot 97 (1994)

Mastermind - Tape 36 (1997)

I still get asked about the Mastermind tapes a lot so I'll try and get the other 2 I have re posted at some point.

I also added DJ Semtex's 'Volume 6' tape the other day

DJ Mastermind - Tape 42 (1998)

 Another dope tape by Mastermind out of Canada. I got asked for this a while back but I've only just found it so apologies for the delay...

Update 24/12/18 - re-upped in 320

DJ Mastermind - Tape 37 (1997)

Another mix from Canada’s DJ Mastermind. I didnt have much info on him when I posted Tape 36 last week but apparently he works at Vibe 98.5 FM in Calgary now.
Anyway, this tape includes music by Organized Konfusion, The Firm, Cru, EPMD, Common, DITC and the big club tunes of the day (this was the shiny suit era dont forget!) by Mase, LL, Jay Z and Busta.
Definitely worth a listen if you liked the last mix I posted as Mastermind mixes it all together nicely.

DJ Mastermind - Tape 36 (1997)

This is one of my favourite tapes from 97 by Canada’s DJ Mastermind. His mixes had a good selection of underground artists and the bigger names and it seemed like he used to play some songs that might not have got much attention in London or New York. This tape includes EPMD, Nas, Beatnuts, Royal Flush, Buckshot and Common - the tracklist is in the comments section. (I've since got myself a scanne so added the cover)

UPDATE 07/08/2016 - now re-ripped at 320 as the original rip was only 128 and not that great.



As far as I know he is/was a pretty big name but I cant find a picture of him as theres about 100 other DJs using the same name and I'm not sure what he looks like.
I’ve got Tape #37 and #42 aswell so if you’re into this let me know and I’ll post those soon.
