EDGEMUKATION MIX SERIES VOLUME TWO!!!

DJ Service - Remix The Reggae:

lately ive noticed this trend in club music of adopting dancehall lyrics and lacing them over club beats. i love it so i thought it would be cool to make a whole mix of just that stuff. i really like how this came out. it wouldve been a much longer mix so i purposely quick-mixed every track so none are longer than 2 mins or so. enjoy!

cutty ranks & emynd - limb by limb & we dont give a... (dj service blend)
i love badass reggae. and this works so well i had to put it at the start. emynd is an amazing producer so check for him!

sammy bananas - the stepper
such an awesomely subtle remix. here comes the....!

affie yusef - ride on
im not sure where the vocals are from but affie yusef is part of machines dont care and this track is niiiiice.

ms. thing - love guide (switch remix)
switch is such a versatile producer its crazy. hes got his hands in so many styles i imagine other producers listen to his stuff and just cry outta defeat.

basement jaxx - wheel n stop
this track features an emcee named serocee and he kills it. this track really grew on me and now i love it. basement jaxx is more known for their house type stuff but i like this, hope they make more of it.

count of monte cristal - dibby dj
i remember sharps telling me that the vocals on this was total ragga, i think thats what he called it. the ep that this was released on has a 1000% batting avg. every track is dope.

se:sa - like this, like that (sinden & count of monte cristal remix)
im not sure who se:sa is but i love this track. its so bouncy! and when the peak hits its so good! again, count and sinden are fire. pure fire.

machines dont care - soundboy massive
the first time i listened to this track i hated it. then i heard it on a club system and now its one of my favourites. listen to this loud. please.

sharkslayer - bad ding
sharkslayer is part of top billin' and i swear im in love with every track theyve made. this is part of that love!

count of monte cristal - b-more forward
can you tell i like the count?

south rakkas crew - mad again (dj sega remix)
the most remixed song of the last while for sure. ive heard a ton of them and dj sega's is still my favourite. his ability to add rhythm throughout every element of the track is incredible.

mavado - weh dem a do (remix)
i actually dont know who did this remix, so if you know, fill me in. its awesome though, nice subtle touches.

nadastrom - the way you movin
nadastrom has some crazy tracks but i love how chill this one is. its pretty different in my opinion from the rest of their stuff but i really like it. girl i know you got some issues!

EDGEMUKATION MIX SERIES VOLUME ONE!!!

DJ Service - Blast From The Past!

when sharps came to me with the idea of a mix series based on informing people of genres of music they may not know a lot about, one of the first ideas that popped into my head was a sample-example type mix. its been done before but i thought that i would try to place my own mark on this type of mix. ive always been big into the history behind tracks and so i hope that maybe this will interest people who have always wondered where or how sampling is done. this is definitely a type of mix that i see myself making multiple editions of. enjoy!

tracklisting

flamengos/fugees - i only have eyes for you/zealots
ive always had a special place in my heart for the fugees and ive always loved their appreciation of culture from all over. doo-wop cannot be messed with.

freddie scott/biz markie - got what i need/just a friend
biz markie was the first hiphop mc that showed me that hiphop could be funny and didnt always have to be serious serious. the original is sooo soulful too.

creative source/the game - id find you anywhere/wouldnt get far
when i find the original sample for a track i always love discovered where the actual vocal snippet is from in the song and this is a great example of that. and i love the west coast.

betty wright/mary j. blige - clean up woman/real love remix
just an awesome awesome sample. its sooo good.

mtume/biggie - juicy fruit/juicy
its kinda funny how many biggie tracks are basically biggie just rapping over a funk or soul song. i mean theres so lil done to alter the sample but then again, who needs any more when the original is so smooth.

lou reed/atcq - walk on the wild side/can i kick it?
best bassline ever. hands down. every frat boy in the world knows this tribe track so you can ask them about it!

george clinton/snoop - atomic dog/whats my name
g-funk is amazing. and i love how not only is the track sampled but the vocals are interpolated and changed to fit the chorus of the snoop track. whenever i listen to this track i picture nate dogg c-walking.

david mccallum/dr dre - the edge/next episode
im not sure how many people realize that next episode is based so much on this david mccallum track. im also not sure how many people realize that missin linx came out with 'm.i.a.' a year before next episode and use the same sample. ive heard people say dre stole the idea from them. who knows.

kool & the gang/public enemy - jungle boogie/welcome to the terrordome
i thought it would be cool to show a more subtle sample. of course the pe track has a bunch more samples in this track but i thought the kool & the gang one stood out.

isley brothers/public enemy - fight the power
i dont think this is a direct sample but the tagline is definitely the same. isley brothers ruled things.

curtis mayfield/kanye - move on up/touch the sky
i wanted to put a more popular track that everyone would know so those who werent necessarily deep into hiphop could still enjoy this.

rick james/busta - ghetto life/in the ghetto
i just got my hands on this rick james track and its actually the inspiration for this whole mix. why? cuz rick james is AWESOME. seriously, hes a badass and still awesome. and i love how busta half-timed the beat. and not to toot my own horn but i like how my mix came out on this, almost melding them into one track.
