kpm 1000

2011-06-04T12:37:00.001-04:00

Library music was an interesting genre of music from the 60s/70s that was essentially made for television and movies. Think back to any B cop/gangster movie from the era. This music served a purpose from movie producers because they could use the library tracks for considerably less money than a popular track in which royalties would be too great. Nowadays, these tunes have found a cult following amongst producers/djs because of their stark, funky vibes. This mix is a nice introduction to kpm music recording library; England's premier library producer. There are hundreds of lps in the kpm discography, but the 1000 series (with the green covers) are among the best. Don't know if this mix is a legit release or not, but it's a great collection of some of the choice cuts from kpm's vaults. Enjoy!

Donovan - Barabajagal (1969 Epic Records)

2010-12-22T12:24:00.005-05:00

That's right!!! Mr. Mellow Yellow, Donovan. This is an interesting Lp that I got from my Dad's old collection. Donovan is most well known for his psychedelic pop hits; Mellow Yellow, Hurdy Gurdy Man, There Is A Mountain to name a few. Barabajagal still has Donovan's whimsical stylings all over it (most notably I Love My Shirt & Pamela Jo), but it also has some pretty rockin' tracks. The title track and Trudi feature The Jeff Beck Group as the rhythm section and both cuts don't disappoint. Superlungs My Supergirl, Where Is She, and Happiness Runs all have beautiful melodies with a light airy feel. I've had this record for awhile and still enjoy it every time I put it on. Here's a little taste...

DJ Muro - 45AREpm

2010-12-12T09:33:00.002-05:00

DJ Muro is one of Japan's most notable beat diggers/djs. In fact, he is considered the unofficial "King of Diggin." This mix here is a nice one for anyone who digs on soulful hip hop samples of the Just Blaze/Kanye variety. Here is the official description. Check It...

Every track on this compliation is recorded using 2 turntables and vinyl records only. No part of this CD was digitally enhanced in anyway. In addition,every record was originally meant to be played back at 33rpm. DJ Muro has masterfully created this mix whereby he plays each record at the incorrect speed of 45rpm

Marsellus Wallace - Shelf Arrangements

2010-12-08T13:02:00.000-05:00

Over the years I have heard a fair share of breaks mixes. There are loads of great ones out there (anything by Muro, Kon & Amir, Paul Nice, and The Conmen), but this mix may take the cake. Marsellus Wallace is a DJ/record collector from San Diego that reps Library records HARD. Check this mix to see what's up.
