All I need now is a bunch of random people smiling and jumping around behind me like I just dropped the dopest blend ever—when really, I’m just tweaking the hell out of the low pass/high pass filter.

It’s funny how, back in the day, DJs would use compilation records. It was kind of frowned upon—people would say you were cheating because those records usually had all the hot tracks, all the bangers. Plus, each track was already labeled with the BPM, and many even had four-bar or eight-bar intros and outros.

Back then, the DJ community had a big problem with these kinds of records. But truth be told, that approach has now become standard practice with record pools and modern DJing. Most of the time, when you download music today, your DJ software will analyze the track and tell you the key, BPM, and other helpful info. A lot of these tracks also come with intros, outros, and multiple edits—clean, dirty, short, long, you name it.

Me personally, I never really got hung up on that stuff. For me, it was more about: are the tracks dope? Is the record useful? Can I rock this? Or maybe it was just the eye-catching cover—who knows?

Either way, I’ve always loved comps. Over the years, I’ve collected a bunch—from Phat Tracks to Lethal Weapon, Top Secret, Fat Wax, Ghetto Jams, Classic Party Rockers, Reruns—you name it, I got it. And I don’t feel any type of way about it.

A week from today, I make my triumphant return to after months of rest and recovery. I’m finally ready to bring you that heat you’ve come to love and expect from our eight-years-strong all-vinyl night. You know I’ve got a crate full of funk, boogie, soul, and other joints and jams ready to blow your mind. This is my first gig back since my hiatus, and I hope to see all my people in the place to be on Saturday, April 12th at

Yessir! Honored to join my brothers in celebrating 45 Day over on Twitch. I got a crate full of funky beats and joints ready for y’all!

Ever since I got bit by the 45 bug, I’ve been completely engulfed in the culture. Seven-inch records have become a way of life—some might even call it an addiction because I can’t get enough! Everywhere I go, I gotta get my fix.

Much love to all the DJs, record collectors, vinyl lovers, and 45 Bandits out there. Peace!

Does anyone have any insight, knowledge, or history on the Rap Attack shows in the ‘80s? Who came first, Mr. Magic or Nasty Nes? Were their shows in competition with each other, or was it purely coincidence? Were they even aware of each other?

I’m really curious about this because I think it’s an important part of Hip-hop history. My mission isn’t to call out either DJ or show, or to debate who was better—that’s not the point. I just want to learn more about the history of Hip-hop and rap on the radio.

Yo, you already know what it is! I’m closing out the Raiders of the Lost Art raid train over on Twitch tonight. I’ve got a hefty crate full of Hip-hop, some Electro, some Funk, some Boogie, and a couple of throwbacks. You already know—I’m on the caboose of the train, shutting things down at 9 PM PST / 12 AM EST.

Slide through and catch the groove!

With everyone following the trend of turning their photos into Studio Ghibli-style art, I thought this would be a great time to actually celebrate the works of Hayao Miyazaki by sharing some of my favorite films.

Even though it’s one of his newer movies, The Boy and the Heron really resonated with me. It’s a stunning film and a true work of art. I was fortunate enough to watch it in theaters with my daughter, and we both absolutely loved it.

I’ve always been a big fan of Miyazaki’s films. Ponyo holds a special place in my heart, and Kiki’s Delivery Service is another favorite. Of course, My Neighbor Totoro is an absolute classic. His films are not just animated movies—they’re masterpieces that deserve to be respected and appreciated.

I get that trends can be fun, but sometimes they can also take away from the true artistry behind the work. If you haven’t seen these films, I highly recommend them. And if you have, then you already know just how magical they are.

Don’t get me wrong—I’m not against AI. I just believe that certain things deserve a higher level of respect.

This is one of my all-time favorite Atmosphere records—the Lucy EP. I remember picking this album up back in the day when it originally dropped. Unfortunately, I later found myself in a desperate situation and needed money fast, so I ended up selling a few crates of records from my personal collection. Sadly, my original copy of this record was among them.

Fast-forward to today—I found a very clean copy of this record at The Cave for a super reasonable price. I knew I had to add it back into my collection. I wish I had never sold my copy, but I’m glad to have this record back home where it belongs.
