DJ Nu-Mark Interview Hip Hop Connection Issue #191 (2005) (miscellaneous scan)

Turntablist's World Catalogue from circa 2000 (miscellaneous scans)

I might have eluded to the fact I'm a bit of a hoarder once or twice, but it's come in handy now I've got a blog! - It's been interesting looking at old magazines and flyers and listening to old tapes so I'll keep posting scans and tape rips here in the vain hope anyone else is interested!

R.I.P. DJ Swiftrock, One of the best DJ's ever....

Hip Hop Connection Issue #191 June '05 - "Ones & Twos" Mixtape review section by DJ Yoda (miscellaneous scans)

So me and the rest of my family over the last few years kept plenty of things in storage (total hoarders - junk basically). I'd guess I had about 100 old issues of the UK classic HHC and the more mainstream Source magazines from the States. So I thought I'd scan a few of the more interesting articles and upload to this blog. Turns out someone in my family assumed they were rubbish and threw them away!

(Recommended Mix Series) - "Golden" by DJ Bamboo plus Interview!

So happy to find this mix - DJ Bamboo comes more than correct with his ode to the Golden Era of Hip Hop in "Golden". Golden was made in 2013 and is one of those mixes that within seconds of hearing the intro you know you're in for a treat - Smart word play and clever use of samples sets the tone for a great mix incorporating skills and a top-choice selection.
