RIP Mr Magic



I don't really know what's going here. DJ's dying left and right. Mr Magic was a hero to me as he was to everyone who's ever done a radio mixshow. Of course you couldn't hear WBLS here overseas, but I did literally grow up on his Profile compilations.

Here's a great set from 1988 I downloaded from Old School Hip Hop Tapes some time ago. They used to have lots, but the Zshare links are all dead now. This is the only one on Divshare and still up, go get it.


Mr. Magic's Rap Attack / WBLS / 12-23-88

Download here.

Another blog with just incredible WHBI and WBLS posts is Will C. Make sure to check at least this, this and this.

Before I go I'll embed one of his snippets from Mr Magic's Disco Showcase radio show, all the way back in 1981. This is guaranteed to blow your mind if you know your hip hop history at all.



Rest In Peace Mr Magic.

Country Trip Revisited



Last week I stumbled on an old mix by a hometown DJ hero, Pirkka. Semi-retired now, he was always one of the very few DJ's worth trainspotting each and every time and a direct source of inspiration to me and so many others.

The mix was first published on his seminal mix site Mixoftheweek.com and is a prime example of what he was known for: classy dance music old and new and regular, sometimes weekly one take, no edit mixes. Seven years later I had this on repeat for days and days and just had to share it here as well.

DJ Pirkka: Country Trip (2002)

Attitude: Love Me Tonight (RFC / Atlantic 12")
Chez Damier: ? (KMS 12")
Ron Allen: Whispers (Centrifuge 12")
Atmosfear: What Do We Do [Club Mix] (Elite 12")
G-Litter: Paiste [Mika Snickars edit] (Lifesaver 12")
Giorgio Moroder: Evolution (Casablanca LP)
Bjørn Torske: Hard Trafikk (Tellé 10")
Idjut Boys: Jazz Fook (U Star 12")
Roy Davis: Heart Attack (Power Music 12")
A Certain Ratio: Knife Slits Water (Soul Jazz LP)

Midsummer Party Mix #3


Damn I can't believe I made it and in time for the festivities too. Life's been hectic but here it is, the annual Midsummer Party Mix in all of it's 106 minute glory. Musically this is on the disco side of things and features a bunch of songs I've been playing A LOT over the last couple of months. No quickmixing this time (except for the short Imagination doubles), mostly I just let the songs ride all the way.

My Scandinavian brethren, have a good time next weekend and be safe. The rest of you can enjoy this all summer...

Late 80's Rap


Now I was planning to post an ancient mix I did back in 1996, but couldn't get the tape ripped yet so I decided to post my late 80's rap mix from 2006 instead. The CD's are gone anyway. The mix has some 25 tracks on it including a few turntable remixes I did myself. Some of the songs are common, some rare, all were chosen because I felt they deserved wider recognition. Enjoy...

Words Of Wisdom

Eli Escobar:
"I was digitizing this 12 inch of this old Imagination song and just started djing while I was recording for about 38 minutes. The thing that always surprises me about vinyl is I can lock in two records in about 3 seconds, go make myself a frozen pizza, eat it, take a shit and come back 6 minutes later and they will still be perfectly in synch. Big difference from Serato (especially when you're djing in a club and the bass is making your green circles all fuzzy). I've been really struggling with the gayness of Serato recently and although I have no plans to stop using it, djing with records every once in a while is good therapy! So these are just old records I've had for years and years and still never get sick of hearing. Enjoy!"

Imagination - This Means War (Dub)
Junior Byron - Dance To The Music
Heaven 17 - Let Me Go (Dub)
Warp 9 - Light Years Away (Dub)
Affinity - Don't Go Away
Affinity - Don't Go Away (Dub)
Peter Godwin - Emotional Disguise
Steve Arrington - Dancing In The Key Of Life (Timmy Regisford Remix)
Earons - Land Of Hunger (Dub)

As requested... Suomi Soul #2 from 2006


DJ Anonymous: Suomi Soul#2 (2006)
alternative Megaupload link
I thought I had uploaded most of my older mixes last year already, including this here, until it was requested multiple times over the last month or two.
Like Volume 1 (now re-upped), this one deals with smooth 1970's soul exclusively and titles that used to be common here particularly. The mix starts off slow jam style, but builds in tempo towards the end. I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised at how fresh the whole thing still sounded- I guess you can't really go wrong with timeless jams like these.

Time for some local DJ history. My old friend DJ Kelloggs just hit me with a mixtape rip from '97 and as I've been hearing about the mix for a long time of course I had to post it, too.

It's recorded in one take too, with no editing whatsoever. Respect.

J-Live Promo Mix from 1997


Back in 1997 me and my man DJ Didier promoted a J-Live show here in Helsinki. I think dude was the first international artist we had, too. Long story short, the whole thing was a mess and almost never happened, but luckily everything worked out in the end.

To promote the night I did this 30 minute mix that included more or less everything dude had relesed at the time (Braggin Writes, Longevity, Can I Get It, Sheisty etc), as well as a couple tracks by Yeshua of Siah & Yeshua DaPoed who was opening for him. I had kinda forgotten about it, but stumbled on the MD while going through some old recordings the other day. I'm slightly surprised to say that it's actually a cool little peek into the relatively short period of time when the indie rap thing was really popping off.

House Classics 01

I've been promising my peoples a house mix for a year or so and here it is, finally. What was inititally supposed to be a simple party mix with random classics turned into a two part project in the process, mostly because of the vast amount of incredible tunes I just had to include.


What we have here now is 90 minutes worth of NJ & NY style classics all the way from the mid-80's to the early 90's. Part 02 with strictly Chicago jams is soon to follow. I know I, I know... I should have done them in reverse order, but I'm still waiting for a few choice 12"s (yes!) to round out the Chicago selection.

Enjoy...

Mika Snickars live in Stockholm, 2000

Now this ain't no blog hyperbole: what we have here is a live set by one of my all time favorite DJ's. From late 80's after hour rare groove parties to 90's house club residencies, from the battle dj circuit to underground disco nights, dude's done it all. And always with style and class beyond most others. This set is from the Stockholm release party for Strut's Paradise Garage comp and features an impeccable selection of disco classics and lesser known gems:

Mika Snickars live @ Sturecompagniet, Stockholm, 2000

Thanks to Mika for letting me post this. Check out his famous record store at snickarsrecords.com. A special shout out to another good old STHLM friend, Martin Abrahamsson at Jung, for filling the gaps.

Me I'm a relative newcomer to the wonderful world of ghetto house, but in the house & techno scenes Dance Mania always had a following here. A perfect example is Toni Aalto's Bikini Team U.S.A. mix from 2003: strictly Dance Mania all the way, with all the big names included together with some lesser known players.
As far as I'm concerned this is an essential piece of local DJ history right here.

Selects 001


I'm not joking when I say Selects 001 by Chairman Mao and Citizen Kane is one of my all time favorite mixes. On this mix the two DJ's more or less perfected the kind of sophisticated yet accessible blend of soul, disco and funk I myself had been working on at the time and that is what made it so special for me.

Chairman Mao & Citizen Kane: Selects 001 (2001)

Intro
Number One
Subway Baby
Baby Come On
Your Mind
Soul Man
Gold Coast
Nite People
Mongoose
Music (I Like It)
Sing A Simple Song
Stepping Out (Stepping Up)
Marvin's Groove
Step Out
Sweet Maryline
Brother On The Run
Wasted
Ain't No Love Lost
Ain't It Good Feeling Good
Love The Feeling
Dancer
Soul On Your Side
Get No Loving Tonight
Feeling Good
London Town
I'm Out Of Your Life
Looking Up To You
Rude Movements
When I'm With You
Make It Last Forever

The tracklisting above is as it's printed on the sleeve. When the mix came out me and my man Pablo spent hours and hours trying to figure out the full listing, in true record nerd fashion. This was all before I knew Mao. We finally got them all except for one or two that the Chairman himself gave up years later. You too are going to have to work for the full listing, if you get frustrated drop me a line and maybe I'll hook you up. Trust me, the mystery is half the fun.


Btw, while I definitely think mixes like this should be listened to in their entirety I happened to note that the Poisonous Paragraphs blog just recently posted a lower bitrate zip of Selects. If that's what you prefer then check this link.

Shout outs to Mao, Kane, Pablo & DJ's Delight supporter, fellow Selects fan and a dope DJ in his own right, my man Stefski in STHLM.

American Nights

My man Joshua Dunn (aka Fox 50) from Detroit, whom I haden't heard from in a year or so, just emailed me about three new mixes up on his Podomatic page. His old mixes used to be road trip staples for me and turned out the American Nights are just as good or even better. The selection is a classy blend of early 80's electro-funk, electro-pop and boogie, with only a handful of songs I was familiar with. Highly recommended to everybody who enjoyed The Disco Opera below or the more electronic passages of my Disco To Get Drunk To series. Listen and download here!
