Dancehall / Ragga mix 5
The latest installment of my favorite series. Despite the decimation of quality caused by autotune (on mr vegas? what?!), if you dig there is still some amazing songs, sentiments and singers. Plenty of revivals too. Includes Jigsy King, Taurus Riley, Cutty Ranks, Busy etc
Bang that bass, Boris!

The Finest - Hip Hop Selection
There's still some life in the old dog yet. The last couple of years have been hard work for hip hop, struggling under the weight of all that stupid bling, fake gangsta-ism and commercial success, but the art is still practised with love by some. Check out the Juggaknots, Sadat X, Doom and some revivals here - click the pic.

A lil mix to help us to the festivals. Pretty chick friendly too! House music of sorts with diversions into broken beats, old todd terry, a little minimal, erm... Full tracklist on this one - Click on the pic to view and download.
The Chi-Town Tribute mix
Chicago. House music. The birth place.
Without Chicago, the would be no jacking. No acid. No trax. And that just ain't a nice thought. So, in tribute to the early pioneers of the form is a looong house mix highlighting the city and those it influenced. Lots of old house and acid on here, but I have steered clear of the well known and the heavily compiled. Split into 3 unevenly sized parts for you to move your body to. All night long. Let's jack the house. Right click the parts below and save as......

The Hieroglyphic Being Mix
A mix of works by Jamal Moss aka The Hieroglyphic Being, The Sun God, Africans with Mainframes, iamthatiam etc.
My favorite electronic music man for quite some time. Taken under the wings of adonis and steve poindexter he draws on Ron Hardy / Music Box, industrial, larry heard influences and masters onto a vcr ('you get 7 hours on a tape in long play!').

A mix of Madlib's latest beat tape series. A whole heap of Indian soundtracks buffed up and sliced together
Techno and dubstep roughie
What do you get if you mix 3 parts nineties hard techno, 1 part dubstep, 1 part booty house and a dash of basic channel? Well, obviously you get this. Not for the faint hearted.
Oh No - Dr No's Oxperiment Mixtape
Oh No's Lebanese / Turkish / Greek funk sourced beat tape, sliced and diced for your listening pleasure
Songs for the milkman to whistle
Yeah, it rained alot in Leeds this summer. But it was still summertime. And so here is a lil' soundtrack for y'all. Loads of real songs, with vocals and words too. Real songs, with lyrics and everything.
Hardy inna de dancehall - 3
I guess I was just born to dj this stuff. Racing thru 47 (count 'em) ragga, bashment and dancehall tracks from 2006 / 07. Plenty of elephant man, busy signal, mr vegas and aidonia amongst others. Major riddims represented are theNookie, Dem time deh, Stage show, Buh buh lups (I aint even make this up), Vagina, Old truck, Gully slime and the particularly babylon levelling extraordinary rendition, theBad Belly.This music keeps supplying the rhythm, sex, dumb choruses, comical homophobia, silly noises and humour lacking elsewhere in the often sterile contemporary musical moonscape. Or maybe that's just me. Take a chance.
The trout reunion mix
A 90Mb mix - pretty accessible yet still clarsy, like. Knocked up for a party in a bar. Drink music to dance to.
