PIGEON DUB: Idiot Proof

I was going to layer dialogue over some parts of the beats & I actually did start, but then refrained. I didn't want to take away from the quiet spaces. Dub has that enigmatic quality in its nothingness sections. That undercurrent of warmess that the bass provides should be enough. I didn't score a freebie to the GZA & Muggs show tonight so I did this instead. 'I.P. you slack cheap cunt' I hear you mutter. Yeah well, the dub was calling. - Idiot Proof.

EETSOUDTHEYAH: Nick Sweepah

i done did it again. this is a lil mix that's more diverse. i think its the best one to date though. maybe. basically its a mix of laid back rap tunes, bugged out electronica (?), psychedelic stoner rock, insane art-punk and some soundbites from here n there. Short but – I think – kinda sweet. - Nick Sweepah.

MILLION DOLLAR DISCO Website

Love the art design. Whoever is doing it is tickling my armpits. Super stuff.
Just look at the dope mixes on here. Its all classic rare disco not the type of music your auntie would request at the next wedding dance. The Scots are definitely making power moves with their tastes. The only downfall is that some are incorrectly labelled (ie The Paul Phillips one 'Soulful Grooves' appears as the 'Groot Mix' by Terry Mullan in iTunes?) & they are at a sucky 128kbps bit rate or even way lower. They may be saving on bandwith, but we lose out on dynamics. I recently purged every MP3 file I had under 192kbps. We had a falling out over frequencies. I just couldn't keep up my facade of a relationship with those type of bit rates. Nice people, but really. They weren't giving me what I needed. Oof!

Real disco shit to get your hustle on.
The mixes are dope, but aaargghh! 80kps sounds like I have my head in an empty watertank made of cotton.

BELLYDOCIOUS: Idiot Proof

Arabian/Middle Eastern music is awesome & it sounds even better when you add some beats or mix it up with other genres. I especially like the electronic dub feel or the Algerian influenced French Hip Hop or the contemporary exotica funk styles that incorporate it into their rhythms. This selection is just a taste of some cross genres meshing it all up into something unique. I wish I had more of it, but it's not always easy to find. And it's a strictly Arabic set, no Indian or sub-continent selections, though not all are productions from the Arabic region. - Idiot Proof.

PULPED JAZZ: Idiot Proof

A friend of mine was lamenting the fact that he doesn't like Jazz music. At all. He mentioned Dixieland. Hmmn, I had to concur. It's not something I have any affinity towards at all either. I also mentioned that Free Jazz was a style that I'm not particulary attracted to in the slightest. Nor that Jazz lite cafe shit they play in shopping centres & the like. I was brought up with hip hop & discovered Jazz through that. I asked him... 'You like A Tribe Called Quest yeah?' Naturally he said yes, but mentioned that amongst the beats, a jazz loop here & there is fine, but an actual jazz track makes him turn it off straight away.

So I thought I'd make a mix for him of some not so obvious stuff. New & old stuff, but nothing too jazzy jazzy jazz, if you know what I mean. Kinda sorta jazz in some places & a bit more beaty in others. Have a listen & hear what I mean. - Idiot Proof.

BOOGIEBURG MIX: D.E.K. of Beatonic

Scottish based Beatonic have a few nice looking mixes upped at their site here, but I found this mix on Boogieburg. Great taste in beats if you like the jazzy funky beaty latiny worldy genre mix-ups. A bit of everything, but at a quick glance I would most likely purchase at least 90% of what I see in their mixes & charts. So I approve wholeheartedly.

about dude...
D.E.K has been infatuated by the art of spinning records since the mid-80's halcyon days of roller disco in his hometown of Glasgow, UK. Having studied mixtapes from every genre over the years he decided to take the plunge and buy a set of 1200s to see if he could match up to the DJs he spent a huge part of his days listening to. Fast forward a few years and a coupla thousand quid on vinyl purchases, D.E.K decides to put his skills to the test by submitting a mix of his now trademark FazzJunkLatin grooves to iDJ Magazines Raw-Talent contest. No one was more suprised than him when he discovered he had scooped top prize. Things took a while to get moving after that. Mixes continued to be churned out, websites were constructed and contacts made. Warm-up slots for Paul Murphy, Seiji, Benji B, Jazztronic, Recloose and Q-Burns followed and these have added to his own increasingly popular Beatonic events which now spring up across Glasgow and are now synonymous with all things jazzy.
