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

R-E U-P B-L-O-G

I'm still going through all the old posts and re-upping dead links so bear with me if you've emailed any requests. Most recently I've just added fresh links for:

2 Raekwon freestyles from 1995

Freestyles by OC, Das EFX and Lord Finesse & Triple Seis

DJ MK 'Volume 8' from 1995

DJ Harry Love on Westwood from 1998

DJ Mastermind mixtapes #36, 37 & 42

Chuck Chillout on WBLS from 1989

Roc Raida on Hot 97 from 1994

Evil Dee on Hot 97 from 1994

For those of you down since day one, there will be some new stuff coming in the next few days.
If anyone has the Shortee Blitz & TY 'Full Frontal guest mix' I posted ages ago can you get in touch - my copy is corrupted.

As I come back...

Following on from the last post, things seem to be sorted out - for the moment anyway.
Firstly, thanks to DJ Mystery for sorting out my laptop and getting Adobe Audition up and running again. Audacity doesnt quite cut it as far as editing/tape ripping goes.
Secondly, massive big up to DJ MK for responding to my last post and letting me have a dig through his crates of mixtapes. He's got a sick collection and although I only had time to scratch the surface I definitely came home with some treats for you.
Check back over the next few weeks for some classic Funkmaster Flex, Lord Finesse, Tony Touch, Stretch & Bobbito and more.
On top of all that, and after fighting my way back from North London in some shitty traffic, I get home to see that Liverpool have beaten Man Utd. Again! A good day all round then...
