I’ve been in the midst of digitizing my old hip-hop tapes and the last actual cassette mix-tape I put together was this: Double Flip Vol. 9, originally created in 1999/2000. It was a double tape (hence the name) and packs in 2 hours of music. You can find more info and the tracklist here. Enjoy! (And happy holidays from Soul Sides to you and yours).
Polyrhythmatic was the 8th installment in my hip-hop mixtape series, originally released in 1998. This took me about five months to put together and all said, I’m still satisfied with most of my song choices here. There’s only a handful of tracks I’d probably swap out but for the most part, a lot of these still hold up for me. Side A: shape of the rhythm intro Continue reading AN EARLY HOLIDAY GIFT: A GREAT FROM ’98
I’m way way way overdue to create a new mixtape. I have three that have been “in planning” (which is to say…I’ve been thinking about them) and wanted to see what my readers would prefer since I’m open on which one I do first. 1) Rooster Sauce: Soul, Funk and Psych from the Asian Diaspora This would feature a variety of songs from different Asian/Asian American groups playing the aforementioned genres. It’s been a fun concept mix to collect records for, perhaps for obvious self-identity reasons. 2) The Spirit Moves [...]

And don’t forget, it’s still available as a digital album from the good folks at East Bay Digital.
I have three new mixes available. I didn’t mean for them all to get timed this way; I actually had the first two done months ago and was waiting for the “right moment” (translation: waiting to get off my lazy a**) but now with the Aretha mix around, it seemed ridiculous to put it off any longer. The Aretha Mix has its own post so I’m going to devote this one to talking about They Call Me Mr. Lonely and Love Me…or Love Me: After finishing up [...] Continue reading MIX MIX MIX
Pacific Division: Church League Champions mixtape What’s staying in heavy rotation right now. Ball up.
Recently, Schoolhouse Funk Volume 1 was reissued through DJ Shadow’s website as well as other retailers. The original release came out earlier this decade in a very limited release and sold out rather quickly. The concept initially started when Shadow and Lyrics Born were trying to outduel one another with who had the best high school records. Currently copies of the initial release are going for $80 on eBay, so get the reissue for a much more reasonable $15 or so while they last. The album features a variety of high school bands performing funk and soul songs [...] Continue reading GET ‘EM WHILE YOU CAN!
First of all, Soul Sides is celebrating its 5th anniversary party in Los Angeles at the Shortstop next Thursday (May 14th). I’ll be spinning solo, trying to mix in as many “Soul Sides classics” (presuming such a thing exists) as possible. I would love to see my Southland posse roll out in full force. That night, I’m also debuting the 5th Anniversary Special CD, which will include as many of the 20 “5 Year Rewind” songs as I can fit. Free to anyone who comes up and asks for one (while supplies last, of course). I’ll also [...] Continue reading BRING THAT BARTER BACK! (5TH ANNIV. MIX) |
