The Gaslamp Killer-Gaslamp Killers Mix

“Intense” is probably the word most frequently used to the describe the Gaslamp Killer. His Gaslamp Killers mix helps to explain why — it’s a deranged and blunted jag full of psychedelic beats, trip hop, and creepy vocal samples. Flying Lotus recently called this his favorite mix of all-time, and after that, the recommendation seems superfluous. This is an old mix consisting of older parts, but like all great mixes it sounds brand new. Playlist features various artist from very diverse horizons such as Jazzanova, Pete Rock, Radiohead, Company Flow, Mr Oizo, Dj Krush, Sixtoo or Porishead.

If you want to download the mix because you like it so much you want to listen to it in your car, download it with the Rapidshare Download link:

Doom - Born Like This (2009)

He’s not the biggest rapper of all time, but DOOM (formerly MF Doom) is among rap’s most consistent players. And with Born Like This the emcee continues his proven formula of cartoon-villain-meets-hip hop beats. The greatest artists are shrouded in mystery, always keeping audiences guessing; Born Like This extends that trend as DOOM emulates the enigmatic super-villain Doctor Doom over killer samples, waging war against the state of contemporary rap.

Throughout the album DOOM reaffirms that he is the king of the underground, breaking convention while retaining good form, favoring freestyle over chorus, and all that while living by his own rules.

1990-2000 One Decade of Hip Hop (by The Rub)

The Rub has been doing the world an undeniably necessary public service in recording their The History of Hip-Hop series of weekly mixtapes. They're unsurprisingly excellent: impeccable selection, flawless mixing.

My favorite thing about these mixes is the fact that hearing hip-hop's finest grouped not by region or style but by year means that every record is uniquely contextualized. They all fit together in a way that I'd forgotten from my ever-advancing vantage point. They are of a piece, just like they were when you lived through them

Roots Manuva meets Wrongtom - Duppy Writer (2010)

Roots Manuva meets Wrongtom - Duppy Writer

With two years passing since last studio offering Slime & Reason, it seemed the alternative remix-dominated lineage running concurrently alongside Roots Manuva’s regular discography was at an end. Not so fast. 
Enter producer Wrongtom, fellow London lad, wrestling control for the most cohesive Roots Manuva re-rub record to date. Duppy Writer goes one further than its spiritual predecessors – 2002’s speaker-shaking Dub Come Save Me and 2006 mixes-and-outtakes collection Alternately Deep – slicing apart Slime & Reason alongside choice tracks across Smith’s entire legacy. Wrongtom’s distance from the originals pays dividends, accentuating the lolloping Jamaican flex at Smith’s musical heart and providing a central riff off which almost all 11 tunes – and two skits – sunnily ride

Jahtari - Hot Jahtari Riddims Mixtape

Jahtari is a Netlabel, founded in 2004 by Jan Gleichmar aka "Disrupt". Unlike most netlabels, it focuses on the dub and reggae music genres, with an electronic music approach which it calls "digital laptop reggae", using Commodore 64 or 8-bits sounding softwares to produce the beats. The whole Jahtari catalogue is available for online listening and downloading on their site...impressive openness.

By 2006, Jahtari had started to offer a release on CD in addition to the free downloads, and later produced vinyl releases too. As of 2008, it had signed more than 20 artists, among them Soom T, Pupajim, Bo Marley,or Mungo's Hifi.

Calamarfarci Records - Underground Hip Hop Vol.1

I recently found back the firsts underground hip hop compilations I did, while ago, when I was spending  my evenings downloading stuff on Soulseek, and getting educated by the hip hop freaks of the Hip Hop room (big up to all the members!). 6 years later, they sound as good as they did before, so I decided to make them available to everyone passing by my blog. Download the first volume HERE :)

Some tunes come from Wu-Tang gold era (Method Man's Tical, Genius/GZA Liquid Swords, Heltah Skeltah, Gravediggaz,...), Stone Throw beginnings (Madlib & MF Doom, Wildchild), some are -bit- more mainstream (Rah Digga, Ice Cube), and a few tracks come from Great Britain (Shorty, Tame One, P Brothers). Anyway, all those tunes are, in my opinion, some of the finest Hip Hop tracks that will be ever created. Among many, many others, I must say. That's why I have 10 other volumes coming up, so you better keep posted :)

Enjoy Calamarfarci Records - Underground Hip Hop Vol.1 !!

Svinkels - Dj Pone Réveille Le Svink (2005)

Svinkels' style is radically different than the vast majority of French hip-hop. They are composed by 3 alcoholic MC's, and DJ Pone (also part of Birdy Nam Nam DJ collective). They are well known for their absurd, non politically correct lyrics, word plays, cartoonish flows, and Rock'n'Roll attitude. They could be considered as the french Beastie Boys, as their influences go from the Wu-Tang to french punk veterans, Berurier Noir. The Svinkels define their own music as "dirty-core" or "slip-hop". This excellent album gathers unrealeased tracks, B-sides, and remixes by DJ Pone, coming from 1997-2005 period.

Saukrates - The Underground Tapes (UK Version)

The finest MC to ever hail from Canada compiled his best underground works to give to the masses in this hard to find LP. His style very reminiscent of a top notch New York MC of the mid to late 90's, Saukrates holds his own next to some of the big apples best, and one of the west's nicest. Everyone from Masta Ace, Common, Xzibit and Pharoahe Monch stop through to assist Saukrates, but the true highlights of the tape are when Sauk zones out on his own. Anyone doubting the hip-hop cred that this Canadian-born, lyrical juggernaut wields hasn't heard his stuff.

-Dominick L. 

PS. This is the U.K. version that has some extra tracks so enjoy!

Mos Dub (produced by Max Tannone)

Max Tannone continues his streak of awesome mash-up albums with his newest release, Mos Dub. At the title suggests, this is a mash-up of the work of Mos Def with reggae and dub songs. Like his previous mash up project, Jaydiohead, Max Tannone’sMos Dub doesn’t sound like a mash-up, and I mean that in the best possible way. It’s as if the original songs were created for the purpose of putting together this album. Each song is seamless.

Check out Mos Dub website, some other mixtapes are also available. Thanks Max!

The best part is that this Mos Dub mixtape is available for free! Download Mos Dub HERE!

Calamarfarci Records 3 - Ragga Jungle

Calamarfarci Records 3 gathers the best Ragga Jungle tunes my ragga junglist friends and I could find. Selection has been though but here you are...15 songs around 180 bpm with ragga-reggae melodies, and about 80 minutes of great music. Download it here, and spread the link around.

The Ragga Jungle style is credited with engaging the black community within the Jungle scene, and contributed to the 'bad boy' or 'rude boy' subculture within the UK. Ragga Jungle's popularity waned significantly since 1995 in the UK. Ragga Jungle is now a niche sound, with a small number of labels releasing music that can be categorised in this manner. Prominent producers of this new-school sound are continuing to build bridges, often re-voicing classic reggae singers to produce new works for exclusive use (as "Dubplates") and retail sale as 12" vinyl singles and downloadable mp3's.

1. DJ Rahmanee - Bun di Chalice (6:39)
