DJ Pain puts together some of my all-time favorite mixes. He's the guy who did "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and "Road to Oblivion"... well, he's back -- this time with his compadre Chaps One with a new mix! Simply titled "HDP Mix" ("Hermanos Del Pulpo").
Please DO NOT SLEEP on this one, it's moody, it's atmospheric and it's got some great sci-fi spoken word in the mix. Lovely stuff.
(Big up to Mr. Trick and his Rhythm-Incusions site for hosting this one!)
Hexstatic smash down the door and take over the studio for the first hour with music freshly served from LCD Soundsystem, Chateau Flight, Greenskeepers, Ratatat and more of the finest weekend flavours!
In the guest spot this week we have Dangerscouse with his 'Genre spanner mix'. Birmingham based via Liverpool its all about this - broadest beats, a couple of Denon CD decks, a massive collection of CD's, some creativity and a lot of luck! Delights include Culture, Amadou & Mariam, Big Maybelle, Ann Peebles, Liza Minelli and more quality!

The mix aims to capture the contrasts within a city that is more upbeat than Kyoto, but not as mental as Tokyo. A blend of hip hop, boogie and a touch of disco. A few head-nodding moments and some opportunities for air guitar. All the tracks were either purchased in Japan or featured heavily on my iPod.

We jump back in time for the second hour with classic Solid Steel from Coldcut. This week's selection is the first hour from a show dated 13/12/90 which was a collection of great K Mixes (these were short mixes made each week for their show on early 'legal" Kiss FM days). We start with K Mix 6 - 'Once Upon A Time', a breakneck blend of old school hip hop and funk in a Lesson stylee and one of Matt Black's personal favourites. Next is K Mix 9 - 'London Bass Jam 1' from 26/10/90 a Public Enemy megamix complete with original JBs samples. K Mix 11 - 'Run DMC mix' from 11/09/90 speaks for itself and dives back and forth throughout their career whilst K Mix 7 'Do Your Own Thing' from mid November 1990 mixes classic hip hop with acid jazz beats.
