I am down with

I am down with Mr. Scruff. Mr. Scruff in a DJ from Manchester, UK. Drum n bass infused with weird loopy jazz? Sure, I've heard of that. Rock elements? Sure, I remember Andy C mixes with guitars or their digital counterparts. And what about other styles of electronic music? Well, duh, they all live in the same house. What I heard in Radio 1's December 1st, 2007 Essential Mix was drum n bass infused with, fast, furious, jazz riffing. Horns and piano. You completely forget that you are listening to drum n bass. And then the beat beefs up and you got rollicking, good timey hip hop. All that melodic spittin' - like Jurassic 5 style. And it all works brilliantly. And on top of that is MC Dynamite (although on the second half which is mixed by another not as pleasing (but still dood DJ) It is with these words that I introduce my first ever Mix of Today. In what I will now do whenever I feel like it, I will post one of those. (The second half of the mix is by another DJ and that is not what I reference above. But Dynamite MC is on it and it's good.)

I assume if you are interested in hearing the above then you know how to use Bit Torrent.

Here is the torrent at themixingbowl.org

If someone reads that, wants to listen to what I am talking about, and does not know how to use Bit Torrent, you can ask me. It's worth your time to learn.

Reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. I am only 3 chapters in. "Scary" describes it well. In one scene, babies are being conditioned to hate flowers and books by shock therapy. No shit.



Seeing Daft Punk last August. This was an accident. It was supposed to be a photo.
