Bo Bliz – 19XX Mix – Crossfaded X The Decades by Crossfadedbacon on Mixcloud

Been wanting to knock out a 90′s hip-hop mix forever. Hard to start because its so intimidating to do a tracklist. My peoples that do the Decades Hat Co. asked me to contribute a mix to commemorate their 19XX hat release, and thats all the motivation I needed. Stoked on this mix. A lot of obvious tracks on here, but a lot of this music is now 20 years old, kind of cool at this point to throw some of the bigger joints on a mix.

Shout out to my Philly peoples The Decades (Brooks and Puggs) for always progressing their hustle and keeping things moving in a positive manner. From FreshMeltWater to this hat thing now I’m happy to know people achieving their goals and putting on for Philly.

Check their website over at www.thedecadeshatco.com and check out all of the other 1st & 15th mixes here for stream and here for download.

Our friend and sometimes mentor Roctakon put together this really fun mix of classic House records for Opening Ceremony, who asked him to put something together to celebrate Party Girl Parker Posey’s bday. Here’s Roc’s description of the mix:

When I was a kid, Party Girl was one of my favorite movies. If you were 16 in 1995, an aspiring DJ, and not-so-closet total dork, Mary would have been everything to you too. I picked songs I know she would have danced to, songs that I really did dance to, and songs that for me define that era. This mix is a tribute to her and to my late teens, where I spent a lot more time as patron than DJ, a lot more time dancing to house music, and a lot more time romanticizing Parker Posey.

1st & 15th Mixcast Vol 37 – Emynd – Best of Hiero by Crossfadedbacon on Mixcloud

The other day, I was on a quick road trip listening to Extra Prolific’s now classic “Like It Should Be” and it dawned on me that I needed to put together a collection of my favorite Hiero songs. And… so I did. 27 of my favorite Hiero joints, all of which come before the year 2000. This isn’t because Hiero stopped putting out good music after 2000. Frankly, I have no idea if they did or didn’t because I haven’t been paying attention… but these joints all bang and this mix is a fun trip down memory lane with a lot of great rap that has aged extremely well. I’d like to think this is a good introduction to the Hieroglyphics crew for those who aren’t familiar with their work, but also a fun listen to those of us who grew up listening to them. Anyway, I hope y’all enjoy it!

1st & 15th Mixcast Vol 33 – Emynd – Hot Steppin by Crossfadedbacon on Mixcloud

And we don’t stoooooooooooop! Booyakashah! The 1st & 15th Mixcast is back again for August!

In preparation for Emynd’s most recent It’s The Year 1990 party with Bo Bliz, Emynd found himself coming up on quite a batch of quality reggae and dancehall tunes from the early 90s that found their way on to this superbly summery mix of classics, randoms, and rarities, most of which came from around 1990. This is likely the first volume in what will hopefully be a long-running series of mixes exploring early dancehall and reggae tunes. Bump it at your late summer BBQ, or listen to at work while organizing crap in Excel. Whatever you do, we hope y’all enjoy it!

I’m heavy back on my Bmore grind! This time I gave Enya’s classic “Orinoco Flow” the treatment. I know this song is pretty cheesy, but there’s something strangely affecting about it. I find it to be way more emotional then I should probably admit. Hope y’all enjoy it either way.

Huge guilty pleasure of mine. If you hate on this, you have no soul because it’s perfectly in key (except for the “Ohhh ohhhh ohhhhh” part) and always gets hands in the air at your stupid top 40 gig. I made it months ago when both these songs were way bigger but have always been too self conscious to post it on the intertron. Oh well. Enjoy.
