Shout outs to Ology for putting me onto this dude the other week. Have been enjoying it so much i thought i would share some tunes. I bugged out at first on how much he sounded like Ghostface, but quickly got over that when i checked the Shiraz video below and had a good chuckle. Don’t Sleep!
What can I say about DJ Spinbad that hasn’t already been said. Basically you need this mixtape in your life. This tape is so next level and makes 90’s cheese sound amazing. So much detail so much time… if you slept on this tape you need to download it today and if you’re a hater you suck and will probably stub your toe in the next 3 days.
Kurtis Blow is coming to our fine city this Thursday night to do a one-off intimate show at the one and only Tone. This tour marks the 30th anniversary tour of “THE BREAKS” and is the first time in over ten years since Kurtis has thrown down in Australia. Also on the night is the supremely talented duo Paper Plane Project doing their thing LIVE. Dj duties see’s Sydney Dons on the wheels; Gian Arpino, Naiki, Kato and myself. Expect Classic Hip Hop jams, disco rap goodness, boogie and original uncut funk breaks. Good peeps and vibes galore guaranteed. Jump on the presale tickets pronto. At only 25 bones they are getting snapped up fast.
Because we are special and rule we have a free double pass for the first person to email the artist who sampled the Blow tune below to vic@genericcollective.com.
And here is a banger from the Paper Plane Project homies feat Raashan Ahmad.
As another treat here is a cool edit of the breaks that I play on the regular…

So our homies at Main ingredients have brought back the second installment of their Diggin in the crates parties, with New Zealand’s finest P-Money headlining the night and repping Roc a Fella. It’s a cool concept for a night where dj’s are asked to rep a label. It’s always good fun to dig into the vaults of labels that we all no and love to find the playable jems. I thought it would make sense to rep Tommy boy on the night as i remember always buying doubles of Tommy Boy 12’s pre digital era takeover. Also on the night local boss Dj’s Ology (Rawkus), Toni toni lee (Cash Money), And LinoType (Loud), i heard Lino is getting deported so this may be your last chance to see this super talented LA native do his thing in Sydney. So If your looking for something good to do this this Friday night come to Good God Small club and throw shapes!
Here are some jams from the Tommy Boy vaults for you that i will definatly be playing Friday night.
Dedicated to comrade and confidant, Sam Simmons on the home stretch of his 24 hour radio marathon on triple j. Will he win a goat or get a goat tattooed on his bum cheek?
Something about her music makes me want to sob about all of my past relationships all at once. For sometime I have been addicted to reggae remixes of Alicia Keys songs, though I am still waiting for somebody to do ‘Unthinkable’. Attention producer folk, get on it.
Here at Stolen Records we endorse Global Bass and club goodness and of course pointy boots. Check the Vbs tv special for a mildly informative look into why these kids are getting their rave on in oversized pointy boots.
The 3ball sound has been bubbling along in Mexico City and Monterrey for a while with cross over love throughout Mexico. Fronted up by seemingly well known wunderkind Erick Rincon, Rincon and a whole bunch of other young kids are making fun tunes for anyone game enough to play them in the club. Here are some jams on a similar tip I wish I could play out but probably never will.
MP3: Erik Rincon – Muevelo y Goza (Arcosabados mix) | iTunes
MP3: Dj Alan Rosales – No Debiste feat Osa manosa (Warmits)
Also here is an older tune from super talented Melbourne Homie Lewis Can Cut with a remix from Chico Ye. This tune made me start checking for this sound a while back and is definatly club friendly banger.
Basically a really long video for ‘Make Some Noise’, it’s the full length version of ‘Fight For Your Right Revisited’. Featuring an allstar, cast the Beastie Boys of the future challenge the Beastie Boys of the past to a “super fresh old school dance off”. Not quite Thriller, but probably better than Kanye’s efforts. Your thoughts?
Oh and here is ‘Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win’ with Santigold. It is like ‘Shove It’, but with the Beastie Boys instead of Spank Rock, and not really as good… but still pretty okay.
Fuck yeah! I want more music from Santigold and I want it to be as good as her old music. Please lord, is this too much to ask? Santi dropped this one today on Jay-Z’s Life and Times. It is co-produced by Q-Tip, Switch and Santigold with some vocals from Karen O. So what do you think? Does the future look promising?
