Supa Qool DJ Quartermaine - Nightmare On Beat Street

I got new mix for you from Diamond District's Supa Qool DJ Quartermaine. I'll let Q explain the concept behind this ill mix of 80's joints himself:

I came up with the title "Nightmare on Beat Street" as a play on "Nightmare on Elm Street". The main character Freddy would kill his victims in their sleep and the only way for them to avoid this fateful outcome was to "Wake-Up". I feel Hip-Hop (Beat Street) is in this situation now...

I made this mix the weekend after Gucci Mane got his "Ice Cream" face tattoo. I wanted to produce a blend tape that represented the exact opposite of where I see the culture going, and revisit a time when Hip-Hop was truly a tool for teaching, knowledge and especially Black Pride.

DJ Andy Smith - The Document IV

When compared to the 3 volumes of Andy Smith's The Document series this unreleased "Document IV" is sadly disappointing.

Yes this mix by itself is very good but as a continuation of The Document series it doesn't fulfill one's expectations.

However don't let my prefacing remarks dissuade you from listening to the mix. As an Andy Smith mix it is as good as all others. Just not good enough to be included within The Document series in my opinion.

Still props to Andy Smith for finally releasing the finale to The Document from his archives.

Delivered to Universal records in 2008 to be released as a double pack CD with Document 1 & 4 (to celebrate 10 years since Document 1) but it never came out - I think Universal just wanted to sell the Amy Winehouse CD to every human being on the planet and couldn't really be arsed about anything else but hey, thats major labels for you! Its been sitting on my harddrive for 3 years so you may as well hear it.

This is my do your homework, fall asleep, or stare at the ceiling mix. I just threw in random songs I love or used to love. There's hardly any real mixing or blending. Thanks to Bebop for helping me find the Strawberry Field's break. I used to love that song, but didn't realize that it had some hard drums in it. I guess when I was younger and listened to it, I didn't even know what a break was..Go figure right?

DJ Mitsu The Beats & DJ Mu R - Live At Sound Maneuvars

Although tagged as a "live" mix I'm not certain it is. Whatever it is this mix of Hip Hop by two of Japan's finest deejays DJ Mitsu The Beats & DJ Mu R is decent enough. Not quite as interesting  trackwise as their Sound Maneuvars mix cds but still worth a listen. Sorry no tracklist.

DJ Joe U Kno - General Edukation

I love mixes like this by DJ Dstrukt's fellow Under The Table Crew member DJ Joe U Kno but sadly they are a rare find these days. A mix of nothing but ill underground Hip Hop seems to be something many deejays can't produce. It's rare to find a "Hip Hop" mix made within the last two years that doesn't include some kind of second rate Dilla inspired beats, Top 40 autotune crap Rap or some kind of homo music like dubstep or electro. Seriously people what has happened to the Hip Hop deejay?
