When Hip Hop Meets Video Games - Andy Peek

Oh Shit!

Well hello there,

 Welcome to another instalment of the Rogue Fader mix blog. Fresh off the back of The Pharcyde gig at the weekend, which had me smiling from ear to ear it has to be said. Those fellas certainly know how to smash up the dancefloor, performing their Bizarre Ride album in its entirety (with the occasional break for a j) in Leeds on Saturday night.
Was shaping up to be a big night however due to a bit of weekend copper theft between Shef and Leeds my train was sent on its own little bizarre ride diverting to Donny and alcohol UNfriendly York station before having to catch another one back to Leeds arriving a cool 4 hrs late. A shame as the word was main man Andy Peek was on warm up detail with Dr Syntax commandeering the mic. Good job then that there are a whole host of mixes by the man online (check out the Surround Yo' Sound Show)

 Which brings me to today's choice - When Hip Hop meets Video games. A gem of a mix that Andy did for the Hip Hop Chip Shop. Full of old school computer game samples tightly mixed together with choice hip hop cuts, it will bring out your inner nerd guessing that game.

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde : Official 20th Anniversary Mixtape - Chris Read

Hello there,

and a very Happy New Year to you all.

Am I still aloud to wish that this late in the month... hmm not so sure. Probably a bit late to be hyping the new year, now that I've pretty much broken all my resolutions. Well, I did shave off my beard. Yes it's been a tough few weeks... a self imposed ban on liquor seems to be flavour of the month, whilst I try to work out what constitutes as 'the perfect burger.' I'll keep you posted on that. Anyway, certainly today I can say a very Happy Birthday to Peeky.

Now then, let's get into the business of what's been in rotation recently. And ahead of next months Pharcyde gig in Leeds, which I am super excited about, here is a tasty little mix from Chris Read (musicofsubstance) for Delicious Vinyl in conjunction with Wax Poetics celebrating last years 20th anniversary of the originative debut: Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde and the start of their European tour.The mix is a blend of original tracks, remixes, and original sample material, as well as some instrumentals and other treats. Check out the full write up on Wax Poetics here, and on musicofsubstance. Top quality stuff, for sure.

enjoy your friday
