Jay Stays Paid Sampler

I Know it's been a minute since I've been posting.



I'm sorry for those that check this blog on the regular.



Here's a sampler I did for Nature Sounds. They have the "Jay Stays Paid" LP coming out soon. I didn't put all the heat on here....you wouldn't buy it if I did.



Yeah, I know it's all over the world wide web.....



But I'm the one who mixed it so.......



I know you have this but in case you don't

Original Glaze L.A. 3/14/09

Well it's been more than a week but here's that Original Glaze set I was talking about.

If you did the google search....you already got this

but if your a tad bit lazy

here it tis'

Thank You Jay Dee Act 4

Here's another Act.


Just when you thought it was safe.


I wasn't gonna do it but as you can see it got done


The month of Dilla is over but not the music or the memory.



In the words of Gaslamp Killer “This mix is psychedelic.”

Dil's Beat Shop

Alright It's still Dilla month..Nothing has changed. All month it's Dilla related. We got one more mix to go after this one.

The homie Jeff Jank sent me this picture and I had to do a mix to go with it...It's perfect.


This is a mix of nothing but Dil's Record collection..


...the original source for the beats.


Half of this mix is on "The Ma Dukes Collection"...this is that mix with a 2nd half added.

(There is a 3rd and 4th half)

Also....If you know these records...don't call it out..I don't like doing these type of mixes because I've seen artist get popped because of these type of mixes..not everyone can afford to clear some of these loops.....thank you.


Go out and pick up House Shoes "King James Verse 1-5" for more....BUY IT!!!!! The dough goes to Ma Dukes....

Ruff Draft Record Re-Release Party (4/6/07)

It's Dilla month around these parts.

As I get ready for Nightlife tomorrow night (2/14/09)...I like to re-visit sets of the
past.

Here's one from the archives...


This party was hosted by Frank N Dank.


Took Place in Toronto, Canada.


I D.J.'ed for most of the night.


Now here's a quote about the evening from ptahh...


Apr 12 2007, 01:22 PM

"I practically fell asleep. Boring as fuck! same old song's - RUNNING. ok it's a classic, must it be played everytime i go out? A lot of people want to go to a laptop dilla beat tape party.. They are tired of the RUNNING syndrome as well.

I left somewhere between 2 and 2:30 am. I did not hear 1 ruff draft song and this was a party to promote the album???

I give up. For now on Dillathons at my apartment.

Poor weather does not mean anything. If you serve it up hot people will bang. plain and simple.


Spinna, houseshoes, and Q-tip i think have done the best tribute sets so far. Waajeed has had his moments. I'm sure he can step up if he really wants to - being that he goes waaaay back in detroit w/slum, but his last set was seriously lacking."

.......................


I don't think he was at the same show.


This is the last hour of the night.

Dilla Set - Soundlessons (2-25-06)

Since it is the month of Dilla for everyone....


(it's Dilla all year for myself)


I thought I would put up a mix from Soundlession. A club in L.A...the d.j.'s for the evening are Kutmah, Alfred Hawkins, J Logic and your host is Aloe Blacc.


He just passed away a few weeks earlier and it was still fresh in my mind at this party...I'm not really doing any crazy mixing...just playing the new shit (well "The Shining" wouldn't be out for a minute)...for some reason my set was only 20 mins or so.


Anyhow...here's a taste of what's in store at Nightlife coming up on the 14th.....

Wax Poetics #31 aka Tasters Choice 7 (2009)

I did a "Record Run Down" in issue 31 of Wax Poetics. The cover is Shuggie Otis / MF DOOM. I'm sure there is copies still available out there.

A few people were asking about what some of the records sounded like. A few of them your not gonna find. Maybe...but I don't think that you will.

So here's a mix from the albums that I picked for my article with a little bit more on why I love these records.

I didn't throw in the Divine Force "Holy War".

Enjoy folks...

Tracklist

M.C. Mitchski - "Red Alert Is A Great Man"
-Red Alert played this record all the time...I would have also if I had a record talking about how great a man I am.....on second thought never mind...He did a mix almost like this.

Slum Village - "I Don't Know"
-What needs to be said about this. The first vinyl release from Slum Village. If you didn't live in Japan you were not going to get a copy of this....Luckily I have the Rhettmatic hook up...and he has the Japan hook up.

Tim Maia - "You Don't Know What I Know"
-From Vol.2 of this record dedicated to his new found religion. He soon found out the guy who headed the whole organization was doing something naughty to Tim's wife. Needled to say he soon quit the religion and re-called and burned all remaining copies of the albums.

Jack Bruce Suite
-Side A is a monster. I never really listen to the other side because the first has so much heat. Well here's some samples you'll be quick to pick up on. I did this section similar to Cut Chemist....he did something like this on one of his tapes.

M.C. Mitchski - "Brooklyn Blew Up The Bridge"
-The flip side to the "Red Alert.." cut we kicked off this mix with. Another one Red Alert would play. This came out at the height of the South Bronx vs. The Bridge drama.

James Brown Suite
-"In The Jungle Groove" is one of the ultimate albums. Even if it is a compilation. This was the first time "Funky Drummer" was on LP.....if full length. It was on a 45 and on "Ultimate Breaks & Beats" but never on LP. I could have made just a 45 minute mix of this one album.

Big Apple Vol.2
-When I heard this mix on L.A. radio station KACE 103.9 FM...during the "Saturday Night Mastermix" with the Supreme Team (No..not the ones from Malcolm McLaren...these cats were biters). They snuck this in the middle of one of their mixes. I recorded the show and I listened to this part all the time. The record was put together by The Latin Rascals...go look for the radio show they did. Almost the same thing here but for 2 hours.

Pretty Tony - "Get Some"
-Electro cut that takes me back to the days of my old crews....Rhe Crisis Cru and P.S.K. (Pullin Suckas Cards). I don't know why folks don't play this one. From the producer of Debbie Deb, Trinere & Freestyle...Tony Butler

Turntable Talk
-I heard this record and wanted a 4 track to make mixes like this....1984 In full effect.

Funkapolition - "As Time Goes By"
-I didn't have this one in the record review. I only talked about how I was looking for a copy. Look what I found. The frickin LP!!! Now that's what's up! British Soul / Funk.

Atmosphere "Free Your Mind / Dancing in Outer Space"
-This record was the reason I started to want more that British stuff. Good music.



.....so there you go.

If you want to see what I really said about there records then go pick up an issue of Wax Poetics...remember #31. Like the date for Halloween.

big up to the cats at Wax Poetics for having me in the mag.......finally.


Yes! There is a Taster's Choice Disc 6. You just wasn't looking for it.

Rhettmatic on KDAY 3/06

All right since I got Rhettmatic on deck right now..we're gonna keep it going.

He's posted these on his blog over on his myspace page but you already know how I get down. I don't care!!!

I'm just here to spread that Beat Junkie Sound..

So here is Rhettmatic on KDAY with Julio G as your host.....
(to bad that they already took KDAY off the air)

I'm only gonna post one of the mixes for now..we'll do part 2 at another date.


Here's what Rhett has to say about this mix...

I just recently found some of my old recorded live mixes when I was still doing radio....these are mixes that I recorded for my aircheck while I was doing my stint at the resurrected KDAY in LA with the homies, OG KDAY Mixmaster & West Coast/LA Radio Legend, Julio G & my fellow Beat Junkie member, Melo-D. This was during the years of 2005-2006. Julio G was on the air in primetime from every Monday to Friday from 6 to 11pm, with Melo handling the mixing duties from Mondays to Wednesdays, & Fridays at 7 o'clock at night while I was handling the Thursday nights at 7pm as well. Of course we had to play all the popular radio hits in our mix at that time, but the good thing though, we get to occasionally play & sprinkle some new dope shit in our mix to try to break in new songs (i.e. J Dilla, Madlib, Self Scientific, etc...) or play some classic Hip Hop songs as long they were sandwiched between radio hits.

And what was even more special, occasionally, Julio would let us get busy on the mix and play a block of Old School Funk & R&B or a block of classic Hip Hop. Sometimes, those sets would be the most fun we all had and also would be fan favorites as well. At times, we would get alot of requests for us to do those type mixes. So anyways, I'm posting up 2 mixes from my timeslot for all you good people to download and to enjoy. These 2 particular mixes, I actually did a Classic late 80's Hip Hop mix set.......also on one the mixes, I finally got an intro for my time slot, which I produced and had fellow Visionary member, LMNO spit a bar. So everyone, get your hightop fade on, put your gold dookey chain rope on, & do the Wop and your Scoop & Scrap Lover on, and enjoy the mixes. Happy Holidays people!

Militia Survival Mix 2001

Here's a promo mix for ya'll.

I Haven't seen this one around on the world wide web.

I've found everything else.....man....everything.

But not this one.

I did this mix for a company called Militia Survival. It was a line of bags with a military feel to them. Real dope stuff. It's no longer around. They also did a line of shoes that went on to become Creative Recreation. So as I was saying real dope stuff...


So during every ASR Show or something like that I would hook up a mix for him to give out when people would come by their booth and check out their line of kicks & bags. I never sold any copies in any stores...well maybe Fat Beats Los Angeles.

I also made mixes for the shoe company but we'll get to those at a later date......
and yes I'll get to the Drawls Mixtapes so you (know who) don't have to worry

This is Promo Only.

Never before released.

From the vaults.

If you would like to know what's on the mix...well Rich One wanted a thugged out mix.....so he got a thugged out mix. There's a some Nas, Group HomeNoreaga, Cormega, Mobb Deep, Wu Tang Clan, Iron Sheiks and many more!!!

This is a basic mix.
Nothing crazy.
No crazy "Beat Junkie Style" doubles.
Just some clean mixes.
So don't be mad when you don't hear "Sex Machine 2.5"
...(that's the mix I did for the shoe company).

There's 2 options for you for this time.....



1. One long mix.

2. A folder with the mix in it with the tracks seperated.

Red Bull 45rpm Event 10.27.08

From The Interweb:

Echoplex 8pm-1am. Free admission
Join DJs John Doe, J.Rocc, Phoreyz and Music Man Miles in this inaugural event + special guest DJ all spinning 45rpm records.
Red Bull 45s - an event that takes a piece of record history and remixes in into an innovative evolution of the traditional DJ competition. The event pays tribute to yesteryear by tasking DJs with competing against each other using only the 7-inch 45 RPM records popular in the 1950s and 1960s. The competition format places four DJs in four opposite corners of the venue, with the crowd in the middle. Each DJ plays two songs on 45 RPM records, with each subsequent DJ attempting to match the last beat of the previous DJ - without the help of any beat-matching programs.

I didn't really understand it...too confusing.

This is just my sets...

the first 20 mins.

then my 4 min. rounds....

as i like to say


Enjoy
