UPDATE: Scene Point Blank is now running this as part of their year-end feature 2015: A Year in Review.
Fritz reworks classic rap songs and mixes in some new stuff and some exclusive beats. Perfect to throw in the earbuds for both mowing the lawn and sipping the cold ones afterwards.
First official vinyl release of these 30 some tracks spanning two different demo sessions; from before the United Blood 7" and before the Victim In Pain LP. Plus a ginormous book filled with flyers, photos, stories, and other ephemera; including AF playing in a cave!
Vinyl reissue of the 2013 cassette-only split between these two primitive, gothic, cold-wave-ish punk bands.
Sing-a-long punk from Milan, Italy. They began 1979 and ended 1984 after the singer had a motorcycle accident. All that was left behind was a famed four song cassette, which has finally seen the light of day on vinyl and, holy shit, does it ever sound incredible.
Vinyl reissue of the original 1991 demo tape plus three unreleased tracks.
8-bit madness from Bay Area producer Brycon.
It's been said that Cal & The Calories is just stuff that Martin thinks is too poppy to be considered as Lumpy & The Dumpers. And while that may be true, only the discerning ear would ever notice. I happen to own a set of those there discerning ears, and yeah, I get it. Well anyway, this is everything done under the Cal moniker complied one one side of a cassette.
"For the past weeks I've been reading, watching, listening, writing and building The Rammellzee and his mythos have become an unhealthy obsession." This is Kevin Foakes (AKA DJ Food) in an article he wrote for The Quietus back in December, titled "The Rammellzee: From Beat Bop To Cosmic Flush on The Quietus." This mix is the result of said obsession.
Chase & Gravy explore the longstanding association between reggae and hip-hop; joining together definitive rap tracks with the very same reggae songs that were sampled.
Qbert describes this mixtape—a recapitulation of his Extraterrestrium: The Guided Space Tour album—as “an odyssey of future bass music." It’s a dope mix that places ultramodern hip-hop production from the likes of El-P alongside post-dubstep and other subbed-out sounds with Qbert’s trademark turntablism leading the way.
Despite their numerous collaborations Nas and AZ have never collaborated on a full-length album. So DJ Rhude made one for us.
If you've never heard Wicked's themed "takeover" shows on KZSU's MHz you're sleeping. (Do yourself a favor and peep his "420/Weed Smokers Special" shows.) This one celebrates the year '95 in rap music; comprised primarily of deep cuts and B-sides and all off of vinyl. Twenty years later and this stuff still sounds ill.
I freak out every time a DJ drops Liquid Liquid's "Cavern" in the mix, as Escobar does in his set for the latest Basquiat art show. In addition, he spins era-appropriate party atmosphere-enhancing tracks from The Clash, Madonna, Grace Jones, Blondie, the B-52's, and many more.
This discography LP is rad if you're in the mood for a mid-'00s NYHC/skinhead/mosh worship with glam metal guitar leads revival thing.
Unearthed punk rock from State College, PA circa 1981-1983 compiled on vinyl for the first time.
