The OG of this song had a horribly unmixable intro that really robbed the song of all its energy whenever I tried to drop it in the club. Hooked up a mixable intro for the DJs. Such a dope song. Too bad I can’t edit out Diddy’s yelling.

I’m happy to report, last Friday night we had a very epic BOUNCE at the Barbary. Shit was bonkers, in no small part because it was my dude Steve’s (from Exit Skateshop) Birthday. Exit sponsors the party which makes for a bit of a strange marriage because Steve hates most of the music we play… but he comes and parties regardless. In an effort to make his birthday party a bit more enjoyable for his ears, I made a couple edits of songs he likes in an attempt to appease him and not completely alienate our dancefloor. I affectionately have these songs in a folder called “Honkey Breaks” in my Serato crates and I’m going to be sharing some of them with y’all. They’re mostly pretty sloppy, but fuck it, I spent like 20 minutes on these fuckers and they got the job done. Comments always welcome even if you hate the shit!
First up is an edit of Creedence Clearwater’s “Down On the Corner” that’s got some tastefully understated Bmore-styled drums. This shit is actually fairly useful.

Classic library track from one of the most sought after KPM Library records. I fucking LOVE this song.

Bo Bliz actually put me up on this in college. Classic, classic record. Perfect Buckwild production and OC killing it. Go grab this shit off Amazon for $1 and grab the Patrice Rushen original sample below.

Hooked up an extended intro of the new Chris Brown jawn with Wayne produced by Swizzy. A really fucking good song as far as I’m concerned! Another Fake 320 ’cause I made this edit out of a 192 mp3.

New Crossfaded Bacon Records signing Mike 2600 killing it with a couple of really dope tracks over on the Yeeeah Buddy blog. While Mike and I make wildly different stuff, I’m really into his un-trendy style. I like to think that a lot of the stuff I personally make is likable and useful without bending towards whatever trendy aesthetic is currently in season on the blogs, and Mike’s stuff has that exact same feel. I guess the word I’m looking for is “timeless.” This stuff doesn’t sound like it was made in 2009, 1999, or 1989. It just sounds right, and I’m a big fan of music that isn’t concerned with its timeliness (shout out to folks like Eli Escobar and the Nacho Lovers who I feel are a couple other prime examples of this same artistic ethos). Anyway, enjoy the tracks and check back here for more info on Mike 2600’s forthcoming release (with remixes by Emynd and Scott Matelic)!

It’s going the fuck down tomorrow at the Barbary with the god DJ Aktive who is legitimately one of the top 5 DJs doing it in Philly right now–technically solid as fuck and definitely knows how to rock a party. Shit is going to be so fucking dope. I can’t wait. It’s also my dude Steve Miller’s birthday from Exit Skateshop so you know we’re getting it the fuck in HARD. As always, open bar from 9 – 11 and only $5 after 10 PM. And we playing skate videos from 9 – 11 to accompany your open bar so come kick it early and wile out late. GYEAH!

I slept on this for the past two weeks, but never no more. Excellent Aidonia mix from Federation family Kenny Meez and Max Glazer for free download. Shit is really dope. Cop it below. Keep in mind we got Kenny Meez playing at The Bounce first friday of November as well. Super psyched.

This James Royal record is one of my favorite funk/soul songs but I can’t say I have any real idea why I love this record so much. I guess it’s just because the horns are dope as fuck, drums are mixed well, and I strangely really love the feel of the vocals. Used to play this song in opening sets all the time and I’m psyched I ripped it to start rocking it again. I also posted Tony Newman’s “Soul Thing” which is fundamentally an instrumental version of “House of Jack” with an organ playing the vocal melody. Love both of these songs. Hope you guys enjoy em too.

Classic Trenton shit produced by the late, great Tony D. RIP. Big ups to Noz from CB Rap for putting me onto this record. Ripped the OG version and the “Project Mix” from the 12″.

First of all, sorry for these two pics. They are DISGUSTING. Theyre both weirding me the fuck out but they were both way too bizaare to not post.
Anyway, on to the music: first heard this song with Wayne on it, then I got emailed a version with Gucci. Both versions are cool except for the presence of Omarion so I cut his bitch ass out and put the Wayne and Gucci versions together to piss off girls. Enjoy.
This is a fake 320 because I made it out of two 192 MP3s (hey dont bitch at me, that’s all that’s available online) but I made this shit 320 so the quality wouldnt be even MORE shitty.

I don’t think this ever made its way onto anything official so I ripped it from a Killer Kuts 12″ I have. It’s a really fucking dope track. Foxy does her thing on it and Just Blaze (I think) kills the beat. Usually super obvious samples like this don’t work well, but this shit totally knocks. Additionally, I made a drum edit of the original Jimi Hendrix track to knock in the clubs. Just looped up some open drums from the Foxy track and produced around the Hendrix song. I think it’s pretty dope and should work well in the clubs for the right crowd (it goes in my “Rock Dance” folder in Serato). Thoughts and comments always appreciated.

Real life rap shit. No hooks, just rapping on a fucking hot beat. Don’t let anyone try and tell you Freeway forgot how to rap. And Jakk Frost is going in, too. Dont know who the other dudes are but they do their thing too.
