Theo Parrish is a Detroit legend who put out a series of edits on vinyl simply labeled Uget (ugly edit) that were lofi and interesting. I love what he's doing here and wish more editors would use this quick-and-dirty style. If I were to guess what's going on or wanted to construct an edit in this style myself, I'd start with original vinyl. After identifying the breaks and interesting bits that I'...

New series… For a long time, I’ve wanted to give flowers to some of the great pop tapes and CDs I grew up with. EMF vs. The Farm vs. Stereo MCs, let's GO! If you're listening on Apple Podcasts, please shoot me a quick 5-star, and a positive review if you're feeling generous. While you're there, remember to sub.

I grew up with sisters, they had the Milli Vanilli tape and I had the INSOC tape, both tapes knocked. MV vs. INSOC, let's GO!

Boogie (genre): during the 1970s, the term “boogie” described music from the disco and post-disco subcultures. In the 1980s, the term was revitalized in London to refer to a type of African-American dance/funk music. Boogie had a large underground following in London's nightclub scene due to a lack of mainstream radio support. Boogie records were often imported from the U.S. and sometimes labeled...

This was fun to make. To me, Azealia Banks is the most interesting artist to emerge in the last 20 years and deserves all the flowers. 212 FuCk hIm aLl nIgHt gImMe a cHaNcE SoDa 1991 FiErCe tHe bIg bIg bEaT LuXuRy mOvIn’ On uP (cOcO’S SoNg, LoVe bEaTs rHyMeS) pArAdIsO ChAsInG TiMe mIsS AmOr vAn vOgUe tReAsUrE IsLaNd nEw bOtTeGa oUt oF SpAcE FaNtAsEa aZeAlIa sKiT (fAnTaSeA MiXtApE) lIqUoRiCe cOuNt...

Real ones know how special Phil Collins is, but here’s a little starter pack. I gave it a lofi treatment to keep things interesting, like finding a dodgy Type 1 cassette mixtape from 1985.

Every 6 months or so, I spend a weekend cleaning and ripping my old vinyl. I had forgotten about my last session for a long time and upon rediscovering the project folder I realized there was a decent selection of '90s gems in that batch and a mixtape was born.

I found a folder on my computer of a bunch of demos, outtakes, and singles from Paul's Boutique that I had sorta forgotten about and gave it a mix.

Please join me in giving Eazy Emo and The Hood Internet their flowers. Going through my hoard of 10 to 15-year-old mashups, I rediscovered Eazy Emo. His blog is still online (https://eazyemo.wordpress.com/) but hasn't been updated in 12 years. I emailed him (eazyemo@hotmail.com) a year after he stopped posting to WordPress. He was very humble and stressed that mashups were only things he made for...

I firmly believe that both mainstream Rock and Roll and Hip Hop died in the year 2000. That said, I have a genuine soft spot for the early days of Skratch 'N Sniff's blends before they started putting dubstep drops on everything and I lost interest after 2010. They used to post their edits on a now-defunct site as full tracks, and at some point around 2004 or so, I grabbed as many as I could and t...

A little bit of everything here with this one including some meanderings. I had a cool edit of 1 Thing which got me tripping on the fact that one person was responsible for that banger along with Crazy in Love and Get Right so I had to drop those as a little celebration of Richard Harrison. Later, I found myself in 60s/70s territory so I took the opportunity to drop what I consider the first-ever...

I recorded this mix featuring edits by Casual Connection, Luxxury, Alfa Flite, Dr. Packer, Pete Le Freq, starRo, Duncan Gerow, and The Reflex, but wasn't totally happy with it so I decided to destroy it with a plugin that sounds like an old chewed-up Type I cassette. It still bumps. Always show respect to the edit man or woman, these remix artists have pretty active Soundclouds and Bandcamps if an...
