SOUL FOCUS @ JUNO DOWNLOAD!!




















If you've been checking this blog for a while you might have come across some of the Soul Focus remixes that have been posted.
Soul Focus consists of myself and DJ Mystery and the aim of the remixes was to provide a fresh take on some Hip Hop classics and give us (and other DJs) something different to play out.
Having got a good reception on the blogs, forums and in the clubs we've hooked up with the good peoples at Juno Download to make these available to a wider audience (the kind that pay for music rather than using rapidshare!)


The first to drop is our rework of EPMD's 'Im Housin', blending Erick and Parrish's vocals with Young MC's Apache/Shaft sampling party jam 'Know How'.

The second is one that we haven't made widely available. Roots Manuva's UK Hip Hop anthem 'Witness (One Hope)' is re-done 'jackin for beats' style, with bangers from NORE, Clipse, Nas & Jay Z laced underneath the unmistakable vocals. I've played this out a few times now and it goes down a treat.

Both are available now BUY HERE

There's more on the way very soon. If you're a DJ and are interested in being added to our mailing list email me with your credentials. Spaces are limited though so dont cry if you dont get put on.

AZ - AWOL (Hydra Beats blends)


















This is the latest project from Vaporized, and this time he's taken the vocals from AZ's dope 'AWOL' album and blended them with instrumentals from the Hydra Records camp.
I found this over at Philaflava where the reviews so far have been positive to say the least, so its definitely worth a listen.

Prime Cuts on One FM (1998)














Prime Kuts of the Scratch Perverts mixing on Westwood's Radio 1 Rap Show back in June 98. The selection is mainly classics and the indie joints of the day. As you'd expect theres some sick cuts and juggles aswell.
This is from the same show as the Harry Love mix I posted last week.

Some DJs really need to step their Google Image game up. More often than not, finding photos is the hardest thing about doing this blog. Fix up people!
