(link to mix on the blog)

Hey all! I was hesitating on whether to post this in mixes or the Hip-Hop forum but I guess it's more appropriate here. I just finished a 60 minute mix eulogising and celebrating New York's Definitive Jux label which is unfortunately ceasing to release new music in the near future. My compadre Jeff Weiss and I also wrote a few words about one of the most important left-leaning rap labels of the decade. Feel free to check it out :D

Edit: also, this is not an unmixed collection of songs by the same name that's been floating around. its an actual (ableton) mix.

Tracklist:

1 Company Flow ft Ill Bill - Simian Drugs
2. Cannibal Ox - Iron Galaxy
3. Aesop Rock ft C-Rayz Walz - Bent Life
4. Mr Lif ft Aesop Rock - Success
5. El-P - Squeegee man shooting (Remix)
6. Cannibal Ox - The F Word (RJD2 Remix)
7. Camu Tao - Hold the Floor
8. Aesop Rock - NY Electric
9. Cannibal Ox ft El-P - Ridiculoid
10. El-P ft Camu Tao - Accidents don’t happen
11. Aesop Rock - Catacomb Kids
12. Cage ft El-P - Oxycontins Pt 2
13. RJD2 - Rain
14. RJD2 - The Horror
15. Mr Lif ft El-P - I Phantom
16. Aesop Rock - Daylight
17. Aesop Rock - Nightlight
18. El-P - Deep Space 9MM
19. Mr Lif - Return of the B-Boy Pt 2
20. El-P - Poisenville Kids No Win
21. RJD2 - Here’s what’s left

I see El-P as a diety among underground hiphops elite but def jux hasnt put out a good record since his last solo effort, and with the demise of physical formats there is no reason for defjux to exist in its current form. i have no doubt El-P will still put out quality uncompromising music. except for Mr Lif (im from boston originally) i dont really care what anyone else affiliated with the label does.

BUT......please for the love of god release "king of hearts" already. camu was a beast. the most creative person on the label after El-P. please do that man justice and put his fucking album out so i can buy two copies.

I take it I was alone in appreciation of the last Cage record?
