Good morning! Mijn boy Gosse de Skater heeft voor zichzelf, maar vooral voor jou en mij een hele toffe mixtape in elkaar gezet om wakker te worden. Het is nu bijna half 12 dus dat ben je hopelijk al een beetje, anders is dit mad lekker wakker worden op een mix van rustige tracks en ietsje harder gaan.
Samen met de talented yet prachtige Beatriz heeft hij de self produced openingstrack opgenomen wat ook wel echt lekker bezig is. Tracklist in de comments. Lavish.
Club music, niet meer superhip in the club wat eigenlijk best jammer is. Ik snap het wel hoor, als muziekpurist is het natuurlijk makkelijk haten op de simplistische producties en ‘ironische’ samples. Ondanks ga ik er nog steeds heerlijk op.
Op shuffle kwam ik deze 2009 DJ Sega mixtape weer tegen. Tetris, Mortal Kombat, Sonic en Something For The People met een Sing Sing loopje en wat heavy drums eronder en ik ben entertained. Let’s go.
“This one’s for the women, so beautiful complex.”
Een vunzige mixtape vol onbekende Prince remixjes, edits, obscuriteit en kreunende meisjes op de back-up vocals. Gepolijste viezigheid op het hoogste niveau. Dank je DJ Dredd en dank je The Couch Sessions. Tracklist in de comments.

Kort interviewtje met de kid achter een paar van de hardste producties van het afgelopen jaar. Lex Luger is 19 jaar oud en verantwoordelijk voor onder andere Hard In The Paint, B.M.F. en H.A.M.. Living the life hoor.
Luger staat bekend om zijn bombastich en extraverte producties. Ergens verwacht je daar dan niet zo’n introverte, bescheiden en doordachte jongen achter. Grappige tegenstelling wel.

The second installment of Vic Crezée’s R. kelly mixtape saga is an instant classic. Over 2.5 hours (!!) of Kells party bangers. I can’t say there is anything wrong with that. First mixtape over here, tracklist in the comments. It’s gonna be a party y’all!

Cut Chemist: former Jurassic 5 member, beatmaker and a bit nerdy guy with some sickening skills on the wheels of steel and the musical knowledge to keep spinning forever.
The guy made these two mixtapes for, actually I don’t know for what and don’t really care. I do know I likes the concept behind the tapes and the awesomely solid they’re mixed together. I don’t have tracklists but the tapes titles speak for themselves really.
Disco is Dead. Disco music from 1973 – 1978 all night long. That music your dad played when you was a kid but with a better selection and without the 5 minute outro’s.
Hip hop lives! All 1985 – 1996 everything. You know this, if else get skooled fool!

I wanted to take this moment to thank Carlos Nunez for his beautiful blog and photography. I don’t know how the guy does it but I somewhat think he captures his models inner beauty through their hot, wet and naked bodies. Nudity times personality. Kinda what Terry does, but more subtle.
Talking about beautiful things, here are my favorite tracks from the last couple weeks or so. Braaaaaaaaaaaap!

Known for the bizarre but beautiful Ecstasy JJ is one of the weirdest yet most promising new groups of the last couple or so. The Swedish duo consist of a producer dude (left on the picture) and Elin Kastlander who’s on vocals.
Their hipsterish but effective trademark is to take instrumentals filthy rap and R&B songs and put them through some crazy filters to eventually lay sweet lady vocals on ‘em. All those songs you love with an all authentic indie-band vibe to it. HRO x Nah Right, Snoop x The XX, or something like that.
Love it? Download the entire mixtape featuring takes on your favorite hitsssss like Can’t Believe It, Power, Empire State Of Mind and Runaway. Fuckin’ A.

Baring with a little champagne headache my man Blokhut just dropped a bomb on me. Duuuude.
This is Dipset producers like Araabmuzik, Max Dollar$ and Movem3nt doing a beattape wiv just Trance samples (we call this Dance on this side of the ocean right?). Think Better Of Alone, No Good and Go To Hell with heavy drums and infinite claps. Never had such mixed feelings about a tape but on a second go I’d probably like the fuck out of this. Ridiculous!
