Dunfyboy's Sugar Hill Mix

Download from MediaFire.

It's been a strange month. I've only upped a few mixes and, as a result, the downloads weren't even in treble figures till a few days ago when my DJ Shadow Mix was posted on the Solesides website. I really need to start spreading the word about my site. If only I wasn't so bloody lazy!!!

This will probably be the last mix of the month. It's a tribute to one of the oldest of old school hip hop labels - Sugar Hill Records.

It's first release, Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight", came out in 1979. It sampled the bass line from Chic's "Good Times" which led to the label being sued. It wasn't the only lawsuit filled against the label in it's all too brief existence. Even Grandmaster Flash sued. This, along with contract disputes, caused many of the artists to leave and the label folded in 1986.

A short but sweet experience then. 20 plus years on, some of the rhymes may sound a little dated (I guess the star sign thing worked with the ladies at the time) and I never could work out why having butter on your toast was bragging or being boastful, but the label gave us some true classics and I think it's fair to say the world of hip hop would have turned out differently without it.

The first Sugar Hill track I heard was as a 10 year old back in 1984. My dad had a C90 he used to play in the car with Kreftwerk's "Autobahn" on one side and various other songs, including "White Lines", on the other. So you can thank my old man for this mix.

Enjoy.

Dunfyboy's Old School Electro & Hip Hop Mix

Download from MediaFire.

AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH! More router problems: no wireless connection, dropped lines halfway through an upload. It's doing my head in. If BT ever offer you a Home Hub, tell them to stick it up their arse!!! This mix should have been upped right after my DJ Shadow Mix. Anyway ...

On my travels round the net I stumbled on an old school electro mix by a guy called Bamboo. Check it out at Def Momentum's blog.

It made me want to do my own electro mix, which I kinda haven't done as I wouldn't really class all these tracks as electro (hence the mix name) and "Walking On Sunshine" wouldn't have sounded out of place on my Classic House Mix, but they're all from the early 80s and it all comes together in another awesome Dunfyboy mix. (Nothing wrong with a bit of shameless self-promotion, right?)

There's about a dozen or so songs that feature on both Bamboo's and my own mixes, but I'd still recommend downloading both mixes (mine first, obviously :-)

Anyway, here it is. Enjoy.

01 - Boogie Down (Bronx) - Man Parrish
02 - I'm The Packman (Eat Everything I Can) - The Packman
03 - One For The Treble - Davy DMX
04 - Freaks Come Out At Night - Whodini
05 - Haunted House Of Rock - Whodini
06 - More Bounce To The Ounce - Zapp
07 - Friends - Whodini
08 - Magic's Wand - Whodini
09 - Rockit - Herbie Hancock
10 - Play That Beat Mr DJ - G.L.O.B.E. & Whiz Kid
11 - Rapper's Delight - The Sugarhill Gang
12 - Jam On It - Newcleus
13 - Walking On Sunshine - Rockers Revenge ft Donnie Calvin
14 - He's Got The Beat - Whiz Kid
15 - Let The Music Play - Shannon
16 - (Hey You) The Rock Steady Crew - Rock Steady Crew
17 - White Lines (Don't Do It) - Grandmaster & Melle Mel

19 - My Hands Are Quicker Than The Eye - Byron Davis & The Fresh Krew
20 - Breaker's Revenge - Arthur Baker

30 - Clear - Cybotron
31 - It's Automatic - Freestyle
32 - Planet Rock - Afrika Bambaataa & The Soulsonic Force
33 - Play At Your Own Risk - Planet Patrol

PS - Don't worry if you think there should've been more from the Sugar Hill label. That's next.

***EDIT*** Blogger have killed Def Momentum's blog. Guess someone reported him for sharing out of print 12"s. Twats. Anyway, if you want to get the page with Bamboo's mix on it, it's still in Google's cache so click here
***EDIT 2*** Even the cached page is gone now, but here's a link I found for it http://collectiveindustries.com/mixes/Bamboo_LastNightADjSavedMyLife_Mix.mp3

Dunfyboy's DJ Shadow Mix

Download from MediaFire.

Well, it's been a while, hasn't it?

When I posted my Nightshift Mix I mentioned it was intended to be a DJ Shadow mix. It started of well but after just 3 tracks DJ Vadim crept in, then Hexstatic, then Depth Charge. You get the idea. So, here, at last, is my DJ Shadow mix.

This mix has a bit of everything - early Mo' Wax head-nodders from "Entroducing" and "Preemtive Strike", more rap (& guitar?!?) orientated stuff from "The Private Press" and "The Outsider" and, of course, a tune or three from his collabaration with James Lavelle on UNKLE's "Psyence Fiction " . There's the dance-floor freindly remix of "Six Days" from Soulwax and Shadow's own remix of Eric B & Rakim's "Let The Rhythm Hit Em". Even Shadow's live version of "Organ Donor" from "Live! In Tune And On Time".

Enjoy. I know you will.

Dunfyboy's Public Enemy Mix

Download from MediaFire.

The most important band in the history of hip hop? Yeah, probably. Maybe even one of the most important bands ever.

Public Enemy have been going for over 20 years now and along the way they've released some of the best rap songs you could hope to hear.

Although their later rhymes may not have the impact of their earlier stuff this mix does have the odd recent tune in it. Most of the tunes though come from their first four albums: Yo! Bum Rush The Show, It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back, Fear Of A Black Planet and Apocalypse 91-The Enemy Strikes Black. These albums are my favourites, maybe because I first heard them as a nipper, maybe because they've been sampled on so many other records that I bought. Who knows? If you want to check out PE, get these 4 first. I've seen them live twice and if you get a chance, I'd recommend it.

Anyway, enjoy. And remember, if you've time to download the mix, you've time to tell me what you think of it.

Dunfyboy's Hip Hop Mix 2

Download from MediaFire.
I first heard Ill Culinary Behaviour on DJ Yoda's How To Cut & Paste Vol 2. It's a clever tune with the premiss of Format and Abdominal hosting a dinner party, but they serve up beats & rhymes instead of food & drink. Abdominal's food fascination continued on his debut album "Flowtation Device" with "Fast Food". Ugly Duckling gave us the anti-vegan "Meatshake" and these three tunes start off this mix with a decidedly tasty theme.
I wanted to mix these 3 tunes together, but after that it was just a case of whatever comes next. I try to use different tunes in each mix but you'll notice some of these have been used in other mixes (it was the middle of this mix that made me decide to record my Funk Mix) but like I say, I only got as far as planning the first 3 tracks.
Enjoy

Dunfyboy's Hip Hop Mix 1

Download from MediaFire.

OK. Re-recorded this mix and I'm happier with this now. I dropped Baby's Got Back off the end of the mix and slipped They Reminisce Over You in. Both feature on upcoming mixes anyway, but I figured TROY deserved to be in this one too, as this is a sort of Hip Hop's Greatest Hits mix type thing (not that BGB didn't deserve to be in here, but something's got to give).

You might (should?) know all the tunes on here. If not, you're in for a treat. And if you do, fuck it, you'll download it anyway, won't you?

Remember to leave a comment. It's been weeks since anyone bothered and I'm getting pissed off again :(
