Soundtrack to a whizzplank session.

I was brought up on skateboarding videos, music wise. The mid 90′s through to mid 2000′s were a hot pot of discovery for me, as I watched 411VM religiously, and wore out the copy of Girl Skateboards ‘Mouse’ (and many others) I had on VHS from to many re-runs. The skating, of course, was what I was primarily interested in at the time, but 15 years on, it’s the soundtracks to those vids that still stays with me.

So this is kind of a tribute to that era of skateboarding video. It’s not particularly well mixed, and it takes a pretty drastic genre change from hiphop to old rock and punk, metal and other bits. To be honest, I was going to spend ages polishing it up and putting loads of crazy soundbites in, but then, partly due to laziness, I’ll admit, I thought I’d just get it online in it’s roughest form. It is, after all, designed to be listened to whilst rolling around on a skateboard, not dissected for technical mixing ability.

Anyway, have a listen, and enjoy! Hope you like it…

I posted the first half of this mixtape idea a while back – basically the premise is pretty simple – a two part mixtape, one half to make you jump up and down, and then a comedown mix, for you to, well, come down to. This one’s all laid back nice hip hop / reggae / soul / beats from across the past 40 or so years, and I really like it.

The first part “MOVE” is a little wilder than my normal tapes – it’s all jump up party tunes, starting off with some tasty little hiphop remixes, and steadily building pace and bounce-a-bility until the end, where a few choice cuts of drum and bass finish things off. It’s a great one to have on whilst you get ready to go out raving.

So, in 42 degree heat, with one turntable and my trusty Serato humming away, I knocked out this little collection of things I’ve been listening too recently in one hit. Not that I’m making excuses, but there’s a couple of mixes that could be better, but shit, the idea of sweating in my front room doing another take doesn’t fill me with joy – you’ll have to wait for cooler weather for me to do that.
