Greg Wilson's: 'Essential Mix'

Though this is technically Girl Talks' new album, it delivers as one seemless and expertly crafted mashup mixtape. Even on his own website (where it is also available for free download) it is stated that the album is 'meant to be listened to as a whole', although it is also available to be downloaded in chunks.
Though Girl Talk really isn't a dj, I think any dj has to give this guy props. He rocks crowds, mashes up tracks like a mofo, has a tour schedule that would make led Zepplin Jelous, and he eats golliath arcane record label copyright laws for breakfast so I like him. If he added a couple tech 12s to his live show and layed down some cuts, instead of just rocking the laptop, he would be officially invinceable.

This week I 'musically profile' Philidelphia's Cosmo Baker with A fun, chill, and quality romp through neo-soul and new disco. As a dj Cosmo baker's been around the block and back, and it shows with the musical integrity of this mix. definitely not a party banger; This mix is a dope little musical soundscape, good for blazing a j and testing out a new set of headphones, or background music for a little dinner party. enjoy, and fyi volume 3-1 is available lower down th blog roll.

Time for a little local love, sort of. Tim Livingstone Hails outta whistler BC, but don't let the small town hometown fool you. This guy puts out rock solid mixes. Nothing too flashy or technical but seriously groovy jams and ultra smooth mixes.
this mix is all about smooth disco-ey grooves, the kind of mix you want to put on for company, perfect for behind conversation, or when your putting the mack down on a lady (or man). Enjoy and have a great new years :)

The series second installment belongs to the UKs Featurecast. THis guy is a mixtape master and one of my all time favorites. He puts them out frequentlyall with intense attention to detail and a flair for seriously funky beats.
Last week was all about the throwback, so this week we're going brand new. The mix is essentially 70s funk riffs, run through modern day synths and amps, with masterfully compressed drums bringing up the bottom end and 90s era hip hop acapella sprinkled throughout. This mix is funky fresh but it contains some serious raverstyle wobble. so if thats not your thing, consider yourself warned. good. ass. shakin. music. hope you enjoy:

Mix tapes and Djing are as inseparable as music and eardrums. It’s hard to imagine one without the other. Like a musician with no songs, an MC without mic, or a club without speakers: possible, but unlikely. Thus as a Dj myself I consider myself somewhat of a connoisseur of mix tapes. I make my own, of course, but that is not what this blog series is about, because in large part thanks to the marvels of the Internet, I also collect them constantly; and play them in car, house and Iphone daily, like a soundtrack to my life.
I’ve decided that this endeavor can no longer remain solo. It’s time for me to embark on a quest to find and disseminate ‘THE WORLD’S GREATEST MIXTAPES’ (cue thunder) for everyone’s listening enjoyment. On a weekly basis, I will post a download link to a fresh mix tape, either hot of the presses, or dug out of the depths of my hard drive in hope of one day finding the best… of the best... of the best… ;)
Volume 1: we gotta start this series of with straight fire, something to set the bar, and something to keep ya’ll comin back. Therefore I’m imparting to you:
This thing is like a socio-historical commentary on the 90s. Insane cuts, mixing, and blends, a track selection that lives up to the theme perfectly, and more celebrity drops than TMZ this mix is ‘all that and a bag o chips’ (that’s 90s lingo for all you youngins). Not the newest, but in my opinion timeless, especially if, like me you grew up in the 90s. enjoy
