XXXchange brings you a 43 minute mix of his favorite film scores. This mix has now been added to my favorite DJ mixes and roadtrip tapes. Pleasant and different. Makes me want to take an epic trip or play Golden Eye or something. via the folks from We Make it Good.

This is the theme music for a television show of the same name which aired from 1974-1978 and later inspired the hit show “Charlie’s Angels”

19. Jan Hammer – Crockett’s Theme
Originally Composed by Mr. Hammer for the tv series “Miami Vice” in 1987

21. “Bill Murray” interlude
(coffe and cigarettes)
22. The GreeneHornes ft. Holly Golightly – There is an End
I felt obligated to include at least one song from a Jim Jarmush Movie on this mix. “I Put a Spell On You” (stranger than Paradise) seemed like it might be too obvious so I chose, instead this wonderful song from “Broken Flowers” (2005)



DOWNLOAD: DJ Shadow’s Miami Bass Mix on Radio 1 (1999)

DOWNLOAD here.

This one’s pretty essential, a half-hour Miami bass radio set by the one and only DJ Shadow. He did this for the Radio 1 Evening Sessions program, hosted by Steve Lamacq, I believe. You get a nice intro to the Miami sound, which is normally associated with genres that came later like ghettohouse and funk carioca into the booty category. Shadow’s set should remind us all how Miami bass has its roots in hip-hop, fitting considering Shadow is one of the most respected and talented names in the game. You’ll notice lots of scratching, real raps (not repetitive samples like ghettohouse, say) and that trademark filthiness that set rap free to be as nasty as it wanted to be. There’s also the higher tempo and sustained kicks, for those looking to get a blueprint for the sound.

The Rub’s DJ Ayres brings us this Michael Jackson Mix.

DOWNLOAD here.

via the Fader blog:

It’s easy to make jokes about MJ, but he has made some of the best songs basically ever, even up through the weird later period of his career when he had to hide his face in videos and maybe made a deal with a Sultan somewhere or something like that. DJ Ayres doesn’t want us to forget, so he put together this chronological mix that you can download for 0 dollars and 0 cents [above].

LISTEN: The 45 King

via rockthedub:

45 King Vs. Wale “P-Y-R-A-M-I-D (Sammy Bananas Remix)“: Remember when I told you that after the Ghostface Killah Remix EP from Scion A/V that there’d be more to come? Enter The 45 King. If you aren’t up on him and his history to the game (from “The 900 Number” to “Stan”), go do your homework. In any case, this track, which I’m giving to you for free, comes from a dope EP that molds old school with new school, from the beats to the rhymes, and is a dope treat for those who are trying to get crunk in the club.

Wale and 45 King link up on 3 cuts here, and each gets the remix treatment. They kick things off with “Roof”, which has Wale going in hard over some smooth guitar loop and a fat, ‘95-feeling bassline. Those basketball references are dope, too. The Rub’s DJ Ayers takes the 90PM beat to about 111BPM, and infuses that D.C. Go-Go party vibe that Wale is known for in his native city. Perfect Saturday afternoon cut. This is followed by “Strings”, which is just that: a too-tight string section is weaved right atop some hard, crisp drums. Wale sure knows how to coast over these head-nodders, eh? Inflagranti kicks this one into a heavier dance cut, complete with a nasty bass and some wild guitar riffs for Wale’s ‘ruthless’ boasting to murder. We let Wale seckle for a bit, and Pase Rock picks up the mic to revisit “The 900 Number” with a 2K8 version of this classic track. The beat is kept pretty much intact, if nothing it has a 2008 glow over it, and Pase keeps the old-school vibe in tact on the mic. Internets favorite Eli Esocbar takes the reigns for the rmx of this banger, giving the sax sample an electro injection, funking up this anthem for the nightclub. If you aren’t vibing to this one, you’re dead. Last, but certainly not least, “P-Y-R-A-M-I-D” has that vintage feel with the loops, with what sounds like at least two or 3 samples creating a new school funk band right in your headphones. I can feel my jeans getting a hair tighter, and randomly, an Africa medallion was around my neck! Sammy Bananas closes this one out with a flip of the script, keeping this one straight in the future, with freaky electro bleeps and a pulsating kick keeping the party runnin’.

It’s good to hear Hip-Hop remixed well by capable DJs and producers. It’s also good to know that someone as skilled as the 45 King can still churn out some bangers when he wants to. Hit up this link for audio and more info on this ill EP.

“This mix is unique for me. After all these years and all the mixes I’ve done, this is the first mix that’s actually representative of what I do in a club. As much as the “How To Cut & Paste” mixes represent my style, the fabric mix is the first time you’ll hear what I sound like in a club, as opposed to me sitting at home in my bedroom fiddling around with tiny pieces of music. It’s music you can dance to.” - DJ Yoda

Pase Rock reminisces about being in Five Deez, meeting Ayers and Cosmo Baker, and making this mix. He got one of my all time favorite feel good tracks by Hall & Oates on here. Amazing. Read the full post on the fully fitted blog.

This mix is a live mix (vinyl, pre-Serato) I recorded at Boom Bip’s house in LA summer of 2003. My instructions were to make a mix to represent our influences etc. so there’s two Prince songs and two De La Soul songs. I started off mellow with some sunshine related classics cuz it was crazy sunny that day, and I was in love. I think. We were also probably smoking a lot of weed that day. It goes up in tempo toward the middle and ends up kinda housey. I overdubbed some scratches at one point and I think edited some songs down for length purposes. I even threw a new (at the time) Boom Bip track in there at the end.

TRACKLIST:
Roy Ayers- Everybody Love The Sunshine
Jackson 5 - Ain’t No Sunshine (SSY remix)
Donald Byrd - Steppin’ Into Tomorrow (Madlib remix)
Stevie Wonder - Golden Lady
Leroy Hutson - Lucky Fellow
Prince - I Wanna Be Your Lover
Hall & Oates - I Can’t Go For That
De La Soul - Say No Go
Stetsasonic - Talkin All That Jazz (Torti’s Disco edit)
Erykah Badu - Bag Lady (Basement Boys remix)
Nina Simone - See Line Woman (Kerri Chandler & Jerome Sydenham Remix)
Smith & Mighty - Same (Ashley Beedle remix)
Beyonce - Crazy In Love (Maurice Fulton remix)
Chaka Khan (De La Soul) - All Good (Can 7 remix)
Prince - Raspberry Beret
Five Deez - Funky (Raspberry Beret MASH UP!)
Boom Bip - We Are Here? (bonus track.)
