DJ Smutty - Light & Dark (Breakbeat Mix)

This download is a mix by another good friend of mine, DJ Smutty. It runs for around an hour and 10 minutes with 17 tracks of breakbeat madness and has some real classic tunes on it. It was actually mixed at the end of 2008 and unfortunately I don't have the track listing. I've asked Smut for the tracks but he's as untogether as me so don't hold your breath. Anyway it shouldn't really be a problem so just go get it :) All files are 320kbps mp3s.

Bullshit Detector 2 (Crass Records)

This download isn't one of mine but thanks to the Old Punk you can get volume two of the Bullshit Detector series on Crass Records in FLAC (Lossless) format at the Old Punks Never Die site. In fact while you're waiting for your download to finish you can also get yourself some vegan recipes to try, pick up some home gardening tips or just check out the other music on the site.

Here's what Mr OP had to say...
The 'Bullshit Detector' series of three releases offered the chance for any @-punk with a tape recorder and something to say to get heard. Whether that was always a good thing or not, at least in technical or musical terms, can be (and has been) debated. What is undeniable is that these records offer a unique insight into @-punk culture in its heyday. Even the 'bad' tracks seem to fit in with the overall sense and purpose of the album and are certainly worth hearing at least once.

Heres the tracklisting (FLAC format)...
01) Voice Of U.K. [Waiting For Bardot]
02) Nature Wonder [Omega Tribe]
03) Random Relations [Suspects]
04) Think About It [Your Funeral]
05) Receiver Deceiver [Kronstadt Uprising]

Ska Collection

Here's a selection of some classic ska tunes. As well as a lot of the early ska from labels like Trojan Records there's also a few tracks taken from the two tone label. Ska is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1950s, and was the precursor to rocksteady and reggae. It combines elements of Caribbean mento and calypso with American jazz and rhythm and blues and is characterized by a walking bass line accented with rhythms on the upbeat. Some of the tracks aren't perfect quality seeing as they were taken from pretty scratchy vinyl but considering they're around 40 years old what can you expect :) Most of the tracks are 320kbps mp3's except for 4, 17, 22 & 26 which are 192kbps.

The Offenders - We Must Rebel

Here's the first album from The Offenders (I'll post up the other one tomorrow). Hailing from Austin, Texas they are one of the most under appreciated hardcore bands from the early 80s.

Oria - Totem (D&B Mix)

This drum & bass mix was put together by an old friend and frequent DJ partner of mine. This is coming straight from the warmer shores of Cyprus where Oria now lives (lucky bastard ;) As well as bringing you the latest drum & bass and liquid funk mixes Oria also helps with www.breakbeatcyprus.com. This site was launched in February 2010 with the sole aim of promoting what, in Cyprus at least, can be simply termed as 'alternative electronic dance music' such as Drum & Bass, 'Breaks', Dubstep and Trip-Hop.

Here's what Oria had to say about the Totem mix...
I put this 1hr selection together to round off the year after having a bit of a DnB lull since the summer. Most of these vinyl releases I picked up in September/November 2010 so it's mostly quite recent stuff and then straight forward mixing on my trusty Technics 1210s. I quite like the flow on this mix and maybe even less wobbles than previous efforts ;) Anyway music talks for itself so enjoy and please share any comments with me if you listened :)

The file can be streamed or downloaded below...

Derek And Clive Live

I got a request for this album so here it is. Derek and Clive is a double act of comedic characters created by Dudley Moore (Derek) and Peter Cook (Clive) in the 1970s. The characters are supposedly two lavatory attendants and are appallingly foul-mouthed extensions of their earlier characters Pete and Dud. Pretty much every 'sketch' is highly offensive and usually consist of the drunken pair swearing at each other. If words like fuck and shit offend you or you can't cope with what is pretty low-brow comedy then you're not going to like this so you have been warned. Derek and Clive Live was their first album which was released in 1976. You can get their second album, Come Again on this blog by clicking here. They also released a third album which you can get from somewhere else ;)

I chose today for this post as it would've been my best mate's birthday (45th I think) and Derek & Clive is a quite appropriate choice really. So tonight I'll be raising a glass or seven to the memory of Eric Equality. Cheers dood, it was a pleasure. In fact if you're feeling generous why not make a donation by choosing one (or all) of his favourite charities below.

DJ Switch - Under Mi Dub Mix

Well I hope you had a nice christmas and new year and let's start off 2011 with a big ol' reggae mix. This one is from DJ Switch and was recorded in November 2010. It has a mixture of old and new stuff from people like Lee 'Scratch' Perry, The Clash and Barrington Levy. It's mainly reggae but there's also a little bit of ska, dub and dubstep thrown in for good measure. The download is all in one big 320kbps mp3 file. I haven't got the tracklisting but it starts with Bankrobber by The Clash, then a bit of Aswad and continues on from there :)
