After the spazfest that was part 1 of this week’s show, it’s kind of amazing that I managed to pull it together for part two. Crooka was away, so I took over his show for this week for a pretty straight up Fat Beat Diet. Downtempo, beats, funk, and drum’n’bass — then back to the downtempo and funk.
Enjoy

I wanted to take the opportunity on the last show of 2014 to celebrate Def Jam’s 30th anniversary, which came and went in 2014.
Def Jam is an absolutely seminal label in hip hop history, and if you’re not familiar with their catalog, it’s time to go research that shit. I’d meant to put together a really tight mix, but completely ran out of time. The mix ended up pretty sloppy. So much so that I considered not even sharing it here, but i’m trying to ease up on my perfectionist tendencies so it’s included below, warts and all.

If you want to hear some actual quality mixes celebrating this event, you should definitely check out the #defjam30 series of mixes that the label curated. Throughout the month of November, the label put out a different mix each day from a well known dj. I’m a fan of the Spinna one, but the Daddy Rich, Mister Cee, Premier mixes are all good. Ah, hell… just go listen to ’em all.
Just in case you did listen to the show though and are dying to know what a track was, the tracklist is after the jump.

Well, given that it’s definitely into the new year now, this mix is a bit past it’s prime, but I hope you won’t mind a few holiday tunes hidden amongst the regular riff raff (no, not that Riff Raff…) in this here show.

All sorts of goodness in the this first 2hrs of a three hour set. Afrobeat and highlife give way to future beats, downtempo, soul, and hip hop. Weather this friday was kind of insane, so there were probably a few more listeners than usual stuck in traffic. It’s nice to know they at least had some good tunes to listen to while stuck in their cars.

Another Friday, another Fat Beat Diet. This time, spiced with a bit of that DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist special sauce ahead of their Calgary appearance.

Extended version of the Fat Beat Diet as I take over Fade to Bass and double my time. It’s a nice wide ranging show moving from funk to hip hop to drum’n’bass and to house, dubstep and stuff.
