The sound of money

A Moneyshot

Been a while since I last posted so thought I'd hit you up with a Brucy Bonus double mix this week as a way of making amends. First up, blog favourite and Master of the art of dusty create digging - DJ Moneyshot. A classic mix from Solid Steel, it's his Deep Covers mixtape - a collection of covers, edits & parodies from a whole host of different artists as only Moneyshot would do, it's a fresh take on some classics and a sweet concept. Check it out...

Beastly

DJ Cheeba, DJ Moneyshot & DJ Food mixed up a storm last night when they made a live mix re-making the Beastie Boys' 'Paul's Boutique'. An absolute bobby belter of a mix collaboration, it made the mundane task of chipping tiles off the kitchen wall seem almost like fun as I listened on Strongroom Alive. Check it out...

From Solid Steel....
 3 years ago Solid Steel DJs Cheeba, Moneyshot and Food had the idea of collaborating on a version of the Beastie Boys‘ ‘Paul’s Boutique’ album made entirely from the original sample sources, shortly after Moneyshot aired his mix of their ‘Check Your Head’ album in the same way.

Finally the result is here, titled ‘Caught In The Middle Of A 3-Way Mix’ - each of them have taken a third of the album to work on and combined their efforts into a mix that will make you hear it in a new way. Aside from the original sample sources they’ve included commentary from the Beasties, vintage interviews, demo versions and much more.

The mix was over half way completed when they heard the tragic news of MCA‘s death in May so the impetus to finish it was instantly doubled and new meaning given to the project. It goes without saying that this is also a tribute to Adam Yauch and the legacy he left behind and we hope it will be embraced by Beastie fans around the globe.

Fat Chicks Welcome

Skratch Bastid & The Gaff - SOUL SISTERS, STAND UP! (100% Female Funk/Soul/R&B/Breaks) by Skratch Bastid on Mixcloud

 After what ended up being another kidney explodingly  enormous weekend at Tramlines (big ups to Woody, Irk &  thoroughly well sound dude - Roy Moneyshot, whom I got the chance to chat to after the gig) I've finally managed to remove my head from my hoop and get back on it... I mean back on here...    Yes, time for another slice of Skratch Bastid with his latest mix which is a strictly 100% female thang. This  mixtape has got Summer chill written all over it, just what you want on a glorious Tuesday morn...From The Gaff:

Where does 2 years of 2 dj's lives go when they're not playing shows, being here, there & everywhere? Ladies & gentlemen, let us present you: SOUL SISTERS, STAND UP! The long awaited mix that you've heard us hinting at, emerges July 17th, summer of 2012. This Concept Mix continues the evolution of the DJ for the 21st century, bringing you part DJ MIx, the tracks, & part Dj album, what's BETWEEN the tracks

The Voices and Messages from The Soul Sisters of the 60's & 70's, during radical times in humanity's development, covered such issues as: Women's Emancipation, the Age Of Aquarius, Husbands & Lovers & Fathers sent to War, burgeoning record labels, African American Equality, the american dream; you name it, these chick's dealt with it. Nina, Marlena, Marva, Freda, Aretha, Patti, Lyn, and on and on, they are all an integral part of our musical history and culture, and have shaped the lives of millions and millions of not only our preceding generation, but also ours through legendary status, immortal songs, and the sampling of hip hop culture.

As Bastid says; "this is probably the mixtape that i've worked the hardest on, ever. Gaff and I spent countless hours figuring out just how to give you the goods, and here it is"

 Yes. I can verify this. there are segments that you hear that last but a few seconds, but took literally hours and sometimes multiple days just getting that one blend right. Countless versions and tests, Countless songs we LOVE but couldn't include for the almighty flow and sequencing to bring you not just another DJ mix, but also a work of Art, using all our skills and love of the craft to our fullest.

I couldn't be more proud of the final product of this mix and working with The Bastid for 2 years with it has created a mix that is extremely rewarding for all of us 

ENJOY IT, and love it!

DJ Moneyshot - Mother's Ruin by Dj-Moneyshot on Mixcloud

Am in all sorts of wonderful places about seeing Moneyshot, Irk & Woody this evening at the Plug. Here is what I listen to when I shit myself with excitement...

No shirking, now

Tramlines next week looks like it's going to be a big one. Free festival around Sheffield where many of the city's establishments open up their doors to put on a whole host of free parties with a who's who of talent performing. For me Thirsty Ear's offering in Plug on the Saturday night looks particularly boss, with DJ Woody performing his Turntables in Technicolor set (to which there is a taste of this, HERE) alongside the ever eclectic DJ Moneyshot and the hardest working man in no business, DJ Irk. And so ahead of this colossal meeting of the Titans, DJ Irk has knocked together Vol. 10 of the Irked collection. Enjoy...
