UPDATE














Just a brief note to let those of you that check this site regularly know that it might be a bit quiet around here for a minute. The reasons are several (none of them federal) but its mainly because:

- The programme I use to record and edit has suddenly thrown a bitch fit and decided it doesnt like Vista (again) so I'm trying to sort that out.

- I've nearly exhausted my supply of tapes. I'm not that keen on re-posting things that are generally available elsewhere and I'm waiting to see if a couple of people come through and hook me up with some treats as promised.

In the meantime I recommend you investigate some of the good peoples on my blogroll.
If you're in need of a some classic Hip Hop to get you through the week DJ MK has just posted this DJ EV & Funkmaster Flex mixtape so go see him about that.

Stay tuned...

DJ Remike - Stetsasonic: The Original Hip Hop Band


















This is the second installment in an ongoing series put together by S.O.U.L. After the success of DJ Books' Juice Crew mix, DJ Remike steps up with a tribute to Stetsasonic. This is definitely an original concept for a mix as Stetsasonic seem to be overlooked when people discuss the golden era of the late 80s. If you're not up on them this is a good place to start...

Stretch Armstrong & Bobitto on WKCR (1995




This is the full tape of the show that featured the Group Home freestyle I posted last month.
Stretch turns up late so there's quite a bit of talking at the start (seems like alot of heads tend to like this so I left it in), music includes tunes by Real Live, Smoothe Da Hustler, The Cenubites and DJ Krush.
There's been a lot of Stretch & Bobbito shows appearing on the net recently but I haven't seen this one make an appearance yet so thought I'd share.


DJ 563 'Whats Real' mixtape


















This mix of mid-90s remixes, b-sides and promo only tracks courtesy of DJ 563 is definitely worth your time. Shout out to all the old Mr Bongo crew!

I should've posted this about a month ago (which is why its subtitled 'carnival warm-up') but it was emailed to my work computer and I forgot to forward it home. Apologies!
