DJ DS - Workinonit - A J Dilla Tribute Mix (320kbs)

Massive new mix by DJ DS..

DJ DS · Workinonit (A J Dilla Tribute)

"Hey everyone,

I've been a little quiet on the mix front recently as I've been playing out pretty regularly, with a few charity gigs and a monthly residency at Jordy's Pizzeria in Nantwich. Last month, I was also invited back to play at Workinonit at The Hip Hop Chip Shop in Manchester. My first appearance there was last October's MF DOOM tribute and I released an extended version of the mix afterwards. Check it out HERE if you haven't already.

DJ DS · DJ DS - Workinonit (An MF DOOM Tribute)

Incidentally, this has had to be released on my Soundcloud as Mixcloud banned the mix due to it containing more than 3 tracks by the same artist within the marathon 3.5-hour mix. Big up to Soundcloud for being so amazing!!

I've decided that I'd do the same this time as my latest appearance there was to play a 2-hour tribute to the one and only, J Dilla. The 2-hour set has now been extended to 3.5-hours and again, the mix is jam packed with all things Dilla from samples, remixes, covers, production & more. I wanted to get this out right after the set but I’ve had a crazy few weeks here and have only just got time to record it!!

As ever, a huge thanks to all the Workinonit crew, alongside Ozzie & the team at The Hip Hop Chip Shop for such an amazing event & thanks for letting me get on and close the event!! Great to catch up with all the homies and the rest of the good people who came out. Massive thanks to the guys for asking me to be the official DJ for Workinonit too!! I'm still blown away by this and it meant the world to me!!

It’s the second time I’ve played at The Hip Hop Chip Shop now and I absolutely love playing there!! Also, using my own gear too always things so much easier. Nice to have my trusty Technics 1210s, Pioneer DJMS-7, Serato DJ Pro & Phase. Always bulletproof and makes things so much easier!! I do realise why people switch to controllers though. All this gear gets heavy when you get to my grand old age!!

Anyway, I hope you dig the mix and I always respond to the comments, etc. If you could share this as far and wide as possible we can spread the word about Workinonit and the music of Jay Dee!!

Also, if you don't follow me on socials, here's the link to pretty much everything. It would be great to link up so that I can say thanks for all the support.

Thanks again & let me know what you think of the mix when it does drop!!

DJ DS - From The Archive Vol. 3: Preemo The Damaja (320kbs)

DJ DS - 

I'm currently self-isolating as I'm awaiting a Covid-19 PCR test result so I thought I'd dig into my old hard drive and pull out another mix "From the Archive".  Number 3 is a mix of tracks from Jeru The Damaja's first two classic albums, "The Sun Rises in the East" & "Wrath of the Math".  These were produced by my favorite producer ever, the almighty DJ Premier.

This mix was recorded back in 2016 in one take, with no planning as was always the case back then.  All I've done is layer a couple of vocal samples and drops to update it a bit.  There's some doubles & tricks but it's mainly just blended together.  The music really does the talking on this one!

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy the mix and if you do, please like, share, comment, repost & all that good stuff.  I really appreciate it and always reply with thanks!

RIP Del SoulCondor - we all miss you brother.

DJ DS - Goes Back To School (5th Year 1990) (320kbs)

After a two-month hiatus it’s time to go ‘Back to School’ and to my 5th year, 1990!  This was the first half of my final school year and the penultimate mix in this series.

No idea what happened here as these mixes have averaged one hour and twenty minutes.  This one clocks in at nearly an hour longer!

This time around, I’m messing more with the original breaks and samples, alongside the usual doubles, samples and all that good stuff!

Thanks again to both of my daughters, DJ Jimmy Green, DJ Repo, Rob Pursey & the legendary Percee P for the vocal drops!

Hope you enjoy!
