1. A LIL’ WHILE AGO UNDERGROUND RAP LIFER 7L DROPPED A BLAZING 2 HOUR MIX FOR FRANK THE BUTCHER HIGHLIGHTING THE BEST OF DIPSET. AS A LONGTIME DIPSET FAN IT’S A LOT OF FUN TO REVIST THEIR GLORY DAYS IN THE FORM OF A WELL CONSTRUCTED DJ MIX. THIS SET HAS BEEN GETTING A LOT OF PLAY AT JB HQ.

LISTEN HERE.

2. OVER THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF I’VE SPENT A GOOD AMOUNT OF TIME IN LOS ANGELES AND A DEFINITE MUSICAL HIGHLIGHT HAS BEEN DJ SETS BY TOTAL FREEDOM. VERY INSPIRATIONAL BEHIND THE CDJS AND A GOOD REASON TO LEAVE WHATEVER BASEMENT I AM CURRENTLY CRASHING IN FOR THE EVENING. HIS NEW MIX FOR OPENING CEREMONY DOES NOT DISAPPOINT.

LISTEN HERE.

-DAM-FUNK IS ONE OF THE MOST ENTERTAINING AND AWESOME DJ’S IN THE USA. THIS DECEMBER HE CAME OUT WITH A PRETTY MINDBLOWING MIX OF GOSPEL BOOGIE-FUNK. TO BE HONEST THIS WAS A MICROGENRE I HAD NO IDEA EXISTED BUT I’M GLAD IT DOES BECAUSE THIS MIX RULES.

LISTEN HERE.
