Last word: Please check out the last track, it’s tribute to our man DJ Flip. A hip hop DJ who made it to national level, but tragically died in a car accident in 2003 in his hometown. He truly influenced a lot of guys here. Me inclusive, I remember when I was young and I was listening to his tapes… playing a lot of DJ Premier produced tracks, not knowing yet who DJ Premier was back then… I’m going to post something from him next week… May his soul rest in peace! And big props to DJ Basic who still plays with real vinyl over here!

UPDATE: Track 7 is wrong tagged, shoud be “Fighting Spirit” in the mp3. Nuff Said Myspace HERE.

Damu The Fudgemunk – How It Should Sound

Like you all know, I never expected this site to be so popular (and somehow commercial) on the internet. So from time to time I like to help personal friends to get some popularity because they deserve it! My people are like roaches, those who support the small artist, the artists who work underground whether not trying to get above.

But most of you real heads already know Damu The Fudgemunk. For me he’s simply top 3 of 2000s era hip hop producers. Getting ‘fame’ with Y Society and his popular clip of him playing beats at the park (still with diskettes) in 2008. Giving you a trip back to the 90s! That was not the end, numerous FREE instrumental albums were shared by him online. This man was so fucking real and got so many support behind him by us when he released an LP (on vinyl of course) it was soon out of print and prices ran high, crazy! And that in this decade!

So it’s an honor to promote this man in the further future. Tomorrow he is about to release a new 2 volumed instrumental LP “How It Should Sound”. I don’t know if they are already sold out (I think their are only a couple of copies left) but you can always try to get your copy here or here. I ordered mine on HHV.de were you get a free t shirt with an mpc on it extra. YAY!!

Here you can download the free promo EP.

Now I’m happy: next week I’m going to have the first DJ Premier Blog competition!! What to win?

A copy of “How It Should Sound Vol. 1 & 2”, but that’s not everything. The winner also get a copy of Y Society instrumental album “Travel At Your Own Pace” which is out of print!!! See you next week…

Moz – Ashtray Beatz Vol. 1

This is something new I’m going to do with this blog. With more then 1500 clicks a day I could promote a lot of things, so why not people I know who should be recognized in my eyes? I really enjoy helping people. And to stay in the lane of hip hop I present to you “Ashtray Beatz Vol. 1” by my man Moz. He is a producer from Croatia who is also a big fan of DJ Premier‘s work. If I didn’t feel his beats I wouldn’t post this, it really got that 90s flavor! You rarely see that. With Damu The Fudgemunk in my back head this is a great addition to chill out. Listen yourself:

Moz – Ashtray Beatz Vol. 1

I would appreciate any kind of feedback, what do you think of the beats? Should I post more of this or not? For any MC who wants more information or ask him for something feel free to email him at gani187@hotmail.com or visits his myspace here. He’s a very friendly person. And I’m telling you, this guy got loads of beats waiting to be spit on!!

I would like to thank you all for reading and listening!

Remix DJ Premier (Tribute) Vol. 1

Meeeeeeeeeeerry Christmas to my visitors… Over the years my friend collected remixed songs by various producers over the globe, some more known, some more unknown, but all top class. All the songs were original done by DJ Premier, except track six (my mistake). I have contact with some of the producers so I would like to thank Wierdo, DJ Oll-Zen and Krudanze for their contribution. I hope they will get more known with this, hope so, they are really good man! If Preem see this post, download it and spin it. Because he says all day “I only play real shit, if I think it’s real, I play it”. It’s real, believe me. Some songs are even ripped from myspace, don’t care, as long as my ears like it. Enjoy, you will!
