Time to take a disco ride to the 80's

Here's a mix from Wonderland this past Saturday night, it's a fun little mix that rolls from disco to the 80's and was what I played to finish off the evening. Enjoy!



Here's the full tracklisting:

01. Marvin Gaye - Heard It To the Grapevine (Rob Tex disco vocal edit)
02. Jimmy Bo Horne - Spank (sixty nine edit)
03. Gaz - Sing Sing (old school disco edit)
04. Jackie Robinson - Pussy Footer (12" re-edit)
05. Cookie Monster & the Girls - C is for Cookie (Larry Levan disco mix)
06. Malente - Beastie Disco
07. Greg Wilson - Doobie In Your Funk
08. Doobie Brothers - Long Train Running (special maxi version)
09. David Bowie - Let's Dance (long version)
10. Men At Work - Down Under
11. Blondie - Rapture
12. Beatconductor - I Can't Go for That
13. Cosmic Force - Trinidad Bump

*as a side note, the noise you hear at the beginning is the other turntable spinning. As I was originally about to mix in some Marvin, some mo-ron decided to hop on stage and pick-up a girl and in the process bump the shit out of the turntables knocking the one needle off the groove and forcing me to throw on the 45 with a quickness. Oh the wonders of Wonderland.

New Mix! part 2

And here's part 2, when I upped the ante a bit. It's more upbeat classic hip-hop with some funk and soul to finish it out. I was just kinda throwing things on at the end (ie. being lazy) so be forewarned it may get choppy:

New Mix!

Here's part 1 of a mix I played last Friday, May 29th 2009 @ the Potomac Boat Club. It was in honor of my boy Jamie's 30th (or is it his 22nd?) birthday and is full of classic hip-hop tracks with some other stuff sprinkled in. I'm sure I made some stupid mistakes as I was socializing and dj'ing at the same time (they don't mix) but whatever, enjoy! Part 2 tomorrow...

FToTD

Here's a mash-up I did recently, I don't have much to say about it except that its not 100% perfect and I think you'll be able to figure out the artists and tracks involved. At some point I'll redo it on my computer when I get it back so I can multi-track it and make it a bit better in all respects. This version was recorded direct to disc using 2 Technics and a mixer. Enjoy!

"Rock With It Out (Itchy Mitch Mix)


Finally, come to the Wonderland Ballroom tomorrow night (May 2nd, 10pm) for "Party Vibes," a night of funk, soul, hip-hop, reggae, funky breaks, and much more with Big Nick and myself. We bring the crates, you bring the party vibe.

Slap Chop/ Rap Chop

Just watch this until the end, this ish is too funny:



and then repeat again and again...

Here's the original for a point of reference when you need a break:




Yes, that's Vince, also from Sham-Wow. As a side note, read this story about a recent incident he was involved in. Whoops, poor Vince.

FTotD (formerly known as Friday's Track of the Day)

Today's gem is from DJ Cleon, a DJ/ producer from France. I can't tell you much more about him cuz his bio is in French (Tiny, translation please?) It's the title track off the EP pictured above called "Jaylis & Family," and it's a burner. The whole EP is worth picking up as its hot with funk and latin influences. So if you're into those sounds then get out and grab it. Groove Distribution (a great online retail record spot) says this about the release "DJ CLEON drops this 8-track funky breaks bomb on us, ready for the b-boys to tear it up. Big bongos and plenty of groove." Here is the best track off the EP, give it a spin:



Stay tuned for next week's FTotD, it's something special I made and you'll definitely wanna ch-check it out (there's a hint for ya)...

A Trip Back in Time (to 2003)

Peep this video that I did with Tiny a few years back. He set up the ill shot with his lamp, I ruined it with my scratches :) Enjoy.
