whos ur ma

Here's my second mix since my recent vynil collection explosion (thanks again Aoife). This one is a bit more ruckusy though, and I had a heap of fun both creating it and listening to it afterwards.



It opens on the Unity records track "ring my number" with vocals from Kenny Knots. A heavy digital soundsystem track from the eighties, followed by the heavy weight Mungos Hifi Mary Jane riddim released on Scotch Bonnet 10". Carl Meeks takes the vocals here with his version "Higher level".

Just for shits and giggles I popped the jittery jungle sounds of Aphex Twin in there for good measure. This track is from his Drukqs album which still sounds amazingly fresh for an album that hit the shelves seven years ago.
On top of of this is classic, if even maybe a bit cheesy by now, but still fuppin riotous UK Apachi & Shy FX with "Original Nutta". wheres my fog horn when I need it.

Leveling things out after this is Buju Banton on the penthouse 7" with his anthem "Murderer". Slightly contradicting a lot of what he might be encouraging in the rest of his early releases, this is still a beautiful 90's cut of the Far East Riddim, more love to Buju.

That leads us into Squarepushers "Red Hot Car". I like it loads.

After that we have a few tracks that I threw in there because my mate Sean loves vocoders, hope you enjoy. Its a bit of robot funk delivered to us by Cylob with "Rewind", Viberta and Simmonds with "(This Can) Robotic" and DMX Crew with "The Glass Room".

The first bit of dubstep on the Mix is from The Bug with Killa P and Flow Dan, a very heavey and well paced track released on the Hyperdub label last year. This leads into "Ransom the Senator" with Zulu on the lyrics.

Sizzla drops it back down again on the Bob Marley Sun is Shinning Riddim with "I've Got To". The break from dubstep doesn't last long, with The Bug returning again with the Warrior Queen by his side. This track "Poison Dart" also came in a lovely yellow sleeve, isn't that nice.

A small intermission then with the volcano pressing of the Real Rock Riddim version. For some reason I thought I would like to hear Aphex Twins "Come to Daddy". A track that was never for the weak hearted or yella bellied, so I stuck a bit of the Jaws soundtrack over it for d larf. This came of a record I found in a second hand shop called "Disaster". A brilliant named record, with an even better album cover, and some ok songs. It is a complication of different soundtracks from 70' and 80's disaster movies. Fun for all the family!

After Richard is finished flippin himself off on his synths, Heavy D shows how its done with the b-boy cut of his track "Chunky but Funky". The album cover of Heavy D with his crew "the Boys" was also worth its weight in penny sweets on its own: http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=491403.

Then some memories of dodgy bootleg tapes in my childhood with "Hyperspeed" from the Prodigy. I'd love to say I remember hitting the roof of the club when this was first dropped, but it was more like getting hyper on the bus to a ceilí in Irsh college. Nonetheless it's a cracker, Im not sure if they ever really did better than that album.

Second last song is one of my favorite dubstep tracks in existence, but it seems to have gone completely under the radar! I know feck all about it other than it is the first release from the Bisto collection. It might be called "Gansta Lean", sure why not.

Then, just in case you anted to get to sleep we have Primal Scream and "Coming Down". Its a strangely named track because I always felt that it had a euphoric feel to it, but there you go. They were probably all so high on glue that they got their words confused, like when your so wasted you think you've actually sobered up.
