This is a mix of hip-hop tracks that were all released in 1979, although there may be some debate over the year of release of one or two of these songs.

Don't expect pristine sound quality throughout!

[Jon]

[Symatic]

downloading now, not listened yet but just the level of organisation here is impressive!

[Soren]

Nice one Steve! Going to give this a listen tomorrow. Great work on the cover Wax!

[d00ban]

This is DOPE.

Love that Willie Rap tune, the start break of it is literally incredible, so funky!

[Steve]

Cheers for checking it out man! Your emo status is now revoked.

[djfoly]

Copped! Looking forward to it. I will review later!

[Steve]

You can now stream this on Mixcloud: -

Click here to see it on Mixcloud

I wouldn't download it from there though, as I had to compress it quite a bit so I could upload it there.

[Chris]

I'll listen as soon as I can Steve!

This is really good mix tape. The tracks are a mix of timeless classics, amazing stuff I've never heard before and some just mental stuff that I was not expecting. The thing that stood out for me most though was the technical stuff. The mixing and cutting you've done on here makes it a really enjoyable listening experience. Dope Steve, now you need to do a golden era one. I'll expect it next week!

[mattnice]

just getting this now,i'll bump this in my work van next week

Thanks a lot mate! I dunno about next week on that golden era one though, lol.

I dunno if it's the DJ Format (it appears to be), but he commented on this mix on SoundCloud and said he'd like to promote it. Perhaps it's just some fool using his name, but if it's the real dood, that's really cool!

[doppelkorn]

Ah dowp! How did he come across this?

[Wax On]

I think he was on my mass email - can't confirm that's where he saw it, but I'm gonna take credit anyway

[Steve]

It has to have been man, cos I don't see how else he would have caught on to it. Thanks a lot for the help you've given me in promoting this!

The feedback I've had from this has been wicked. It gave me a buzz like I haven't had from DJing since I played my first live gig.

[Wax On]

Man, its a shit hot idea, well executed. I'm surprised its never been done before tbh. Hopefully Pipomixes will pick up on it as well as Kevin Nottingham. It wouldn't hurt for you to get in touch with both of them too I reckon.

[Steve]

Have you got any web addresses of blogs I could contact? I need to step up my promotion game!

[Wax On]

http://www.pipomixes.com/
http://kevinnottingham.com/

at one point i just searched music blogs and gathered up a load of email addresses. It doesn't hurt to do, even though i've only had odd bits here and there. None of my mixes have your USP though. The times my web traffic has gone up has been from posts on the above sites.

[djfoly]

If you give me a solid link I'll put it on my blog. I can confirm that this is the sort of thing that DJ Format (or Matt to me) would be into.
