Here’s a mix courtesy of Beatmaster Wright of some recent underground hip hop hits, which I’ve also done half of. Beatmaster is currently roaming the earth leaving a trail of this CD, Hansel and Gretel style. If you happen to bump into him tap him on the shoulder and say the phrase ‘Total Cock Punch’. By downloading this mix you are entering an agreement to send Beatmaster abuse via Twitter.
Update: Grab Beatmaster’s new mix of uptempo party breaks, Magnum Force here.
DJ Wax On has put this mix together of early Eighties post disco soul-funk with lots of squelchy synths on. I don’t need to say too much about it apart from I strongly recommend it. You can get more mixes and remixes from his corner of the internet and there’s also the collab I did with him a while back here.
