The History of Hip Hop (2000-2009)

Over the past few years The Rub (DJ Ayres, DJ Eleven & Cosmo Baker) have been putting together mixes for each year in hip hop (dating back to 1979). Hit the jump for 2000-2009 (and be sure to check out their archives to grab the rest). This is simply incredible and something that all Hip-Hop fans should appreciate and have in their collection. All the covers are sick too. Spotted over @2DopeBoyz.

Jazz Café Mix

Here is a new mix from a mate of mine, DJ Bounce. It’s a recorded mix of all the tracks he played at Ty’s ‘Special Kind Of Fool’ live album launch party, which you can listen to here. After the jump you can find a few words from the man himself, along with the tracklist and download link.

Hey people,

Hope you’re all good. Just wanted to give you a bit of a Bounce update…
 I’m currently waiting on my house to be completed & cant wait to get my new music room up & running. I’ve got a few mixes in the pipeline including volume 2 of the Ty mixtape which I’m very hyped about & a kind of follow up to the Don-E mix I did a while back, I’m gonna keep it as a bit of a surprise though.

To keep you all going I’ve recorded a mix of the tracks that I played when I was a guest at the Ty “Special Kind Of Fool” live album launch party at London’s famous Jazz Cafe in Camden. It was an honour to be able to spin at such a legendary venue & such a legendary gig too.Check the TY podcast below for an idea how good it was!

The tracklist has a few titles from previous Bounce mixes & the reason is because I wanted to play some of my favourite tracks at the gig & so they went straight to the mix.

Think of this mix as a kind of warm up for Good Sh*t Vol 3.
 
This mix also features an EXCLUSIVE track by the amazing Black Einstein called “Arabia” that features Maseo from the legendary Hip-Hop group De La Soul & the UK’s very own lyrical wordsmith Mystro (Mystro’s “Digmund Freud” EP is out very soon,watch this space for more info). The Black Einstein track is from the much anticipated Black Einstein EP that is based on David Bowie tracks, again keep an eye on www.BlackEinstein.co.uk for more info.

2.Erykah Badu – Window Seat

140 BPM Vol. 1 - Dubstep Goodness

Here is a new mix from DJ Hotpoint, which showcases what I believe to be the very best in Dubstep. Below is the download link and after the jump you can find the tracklist and a few words from the man himself.

DOWNLOAD

“It’s here! My second summer mix ‘140 BPM Volume 1’ is now available to stream or download. It’s an aural kick to the face; an intense, high-energy hour of the finest dubstep from the last couple of years.

I know everyone and their mother has been jumping on the dubstep bandwagon these last few months which is why there are so many questionable mixtapes in the ether – rest assured this is an electrifying, worth-the-wait mix. I’ve been championing the sound for a good few years now and have had the pleasure of working with and alongside some of the scenes’ biggest characters such as Skream and Plastician.

As always, I appreciate your support and feedback. Please spread the word by tweeting, Face-booking and blogging this mix as much as you can!

As always, the mix will come as more of a surprise if you don’t know what’s coming but if you really can’t resist:”
