the mix was done as a bunch of segments, the intention of which was to break up the continuity of The DJ Mix that i think we're too used to posting up. so there's some downtempo shit in there, some interludes, and a whole sampha tune (is this ok?).
disclaimer: i'm not anywhere close to as technically skilled as oneman, ben, or bok bok; i may never be, so please don't take offense if i've tried to channel the spirit of the greats in this mix. my focus was on the selection and the blends, as well as the vast musical territory covered by these djs. oneman's boiler room sets have been a big source of inspiration for me specifically - he's really going out on a limb with the stuff he's been playing (and making it work), traversing hip hop and prince and what have you.
so feedback is more than welcome, but also, let's make this thread a collective "oneman/ben ufo/bok-bok appreciation thread". i think that they more than deserve it, and besides the older "oneman appreciation" thread, i don't think any others exist. big up them guys everytime!
i'll post a tracklist in a weeks time, so that there can be some virtual pleasures begotten from the reception of a new mixtape sans predictability. for networking purposes, though, i'll give credit to some of the unsigned beats in the mix:
whip my hair (dramatics dub)
&
the britney spears remix are by B.Ames - http://www.youtube.com/user/BAmesMusic - he was featured on the mikeq xlr8r podcast not too long ago.
the 'believe in love' tune is by DJ Sega (edited this from before, since I found out that the guy who I had previously thought made the edit just ripped Sega's tune without the Sega tags and posted it up to Soundcloud as his own. really embarrassed that i missed that

and the beat after 'red' is called 'drumbeat' by gremino http://soundcloud.com/gremino
so without further ado:
Soundcloud
i hope y'all like it and that it lives up to its expectations.
