Pete Rock innnnn Controllllll


soul Brotha numero uno here with a late 80's radio mix. The show "In control; Rap Show" on 107. 5 WBLS hosted by Marley Marl. 10-11-1988 to be exact. This 43 minute mix is full of now classic hip hop tracks as well as some classic breaks- K-Solo, Epmd, Special Ed, Cheryl Lynn, BPD, etc full of doubles, scratching and clean mixing. Gives you sad comparison with what's going on with current mainstream radio.

Flava of the Month


Flava of the Month is a party that the bay's Triple Threat dj's (Apollo, Shortkut and Vinroc) throw at Milk on Haight St., hosted by the hypest hype man in the yay, Fran Boogie. This Mix is one of my favorite, if not my favorite triple threat mix. But, I think it gets overlooked by the general public and their fans. This was recorded live in September of 2003 at the themed party. All disco, all funky, all good music.

You'll hear tracks from the likes of Kano, the Jacksons, Chic, Mcfadden & Whitehead, Indeep, Young & Co., etc....

Real Classic Material


CEEEE-AAAAYYEE!...you know the rest. The most notable DJ crew on the west coast in the last 15+ years put together a few CDs (classic material and real classic material). Real Classic Material is more of a compilation and history lesson on the crew. Timeless and classic sets/material from the 90's combined with the hilarious rants and raps from uncle sparkie is what you get with Real Classic Material.

It's a big mama thang


One of the perc's from owning a store is that you get tons of promotional stuff thrown at you. This is a mix I got a few years back promoting Mama Clothing. DJ Zita keeps a Female/relationship theme throughout the mix. The mix is a little over 50 minutes with the likes of the Fugees, LL Cool J, Mary J., Nas, Salt n Pepper, etc..

DJ FIVE Mixwell mix


Remember this brand? They put out some dope product. When I owned the record shop in Sacto, we always tried to keep Mixell in stock. Anyway, to the mix... Mixwell put on a mix contest about 5 years ago and DJ Five was one of the finalists in the competition. I forgot how, but I accumulated quite a few of the finalists' mixes. All were pretty dope. A lot of dope scratching on this one. Music is your typical underground jams at the time (Wu, Dilated, Blackalicious, etc..).
I believe Five was working at Hiphopsite in Vegas at the time.

Nowadays, you can catch Five all over the country and in his hometown, Vegas tearing the fuggin clubs up.
