Dope Stuff



Then You Got The Hertz Request

In the works for what seems like an age,
this CD is the unofficial follow up to
Woody's UK hip hop history lesson "Bangers & Mash"
After a scene-setting introduction
we begin an excellent 45 minute excursion into many as yet unheard
modal jazz, dusted funk and fusion breaks,
all lovingly submitted and collected over many years by Sean Vinylment.
Mixed to perfection by Woody who also drops some sweet scratch sequences.
You'll already know recognise this if you've followed
this DJ's work more closely in recent times via DJ Vadim's One Self project.
"A Country Practice" is the downtempo mix joint to own.
It joins a very select batch of mix tape CDs.

Don't Let This Pass,Unless You're A Looser
Let Me Take A Ride On The Country Side!

And Last But Not Least
A Gift From The Man They Called Mishk


The Three Taster's Choice MIx
By J-Rocc (Again)
First Blend is from Brazil
If you haven't figured out already,
J-Rocc mixes are probably the finest in the mixtape game.
He's unparalleled when it comes to skills, track selection,
and overall listener satisfaction.
The Taster's Choice series is rather low budget in production
(slim-line with a color-copied covers), but who the hell cares?

This is volume one which focuses on Brazilian music.
He starts the mix with standards by
Sergio Mendes, Cal Tjader, and Jorge Ben.
Then with a track labeled simply "Hype Shit"
he gets deeper into his collection with
Kenyatta, Que 2, Tempo 70, Azymuth, and a track labeled "Classic Shit."
The 16 track selection ends with a unlisted 17th track,
a belly rumbling boogaloo ending.
Dictated by the music style (and probably the rareness of these records),
there's no Beat Junkie trick mixing or blends on this volume,
just simple mixes. 60 minutes.

Brazil !+Blend !
=Caliente

The Two Others Are hip hop and soul orientated

The volume two gets into J-Rocc's soulful hip-hop set.
When he's in this mode, J-Rocc goes all-over to find his sound.
Within in the first 5 selections alone, he travels from J.Rawls
to Fela to Pete Rock protege INI to old school Tribe to classic J.Dilla era Slum Village.
He also sprinkles in some mean soul jazz from
Eddie Jefferson, Horace Silver, and Roy Ayers.
Extra bonus here is that you get four J-Rocc break edits
and a cool as hell Madvillain original.
16 tracks in all.

Mild !+Coffee !
=Hip Hop & Soul

The volume three explores J-Rocc's specialty sweet spot:
old school hip-hop and classics.
As expected, he absolutely destroys it with mix tricks, blends, and flow.
Witness him kill doubles of Chuck Chill Out's "I'm Large" Instrumental
(mental note: see if it's available on 12")
or listen to him tease out the intros of "Juice" and "The Creator."
He then moves into a breaks section starting off with
2 cut and paste classics from Double Dee & Steinski
and Cut Chemist & Numark,
followed by classics such as "Melting Pot, Let A Woman Be A Man,
Tighten Up (a four minute doubled up cover version!),
Honey Bee (Wu Tang samples stretched to perfection),
DJ Shadow-sampled Buddy Miles break,
and finally ending with some mellow comedown tracks
(a wicked cover of Sunny and RAMP's "Sunshine").
17 tracks in all.

Caffe !+Latte !

You're The Man
