I’m listening through the mix now, and I’m thinking it sounds pretty damn good, considering I haven’t done a live gig since 2004. It was kinda tough to hear how the tracks were mixing while there, but listening to it now, it turned out really good. I think my favorite part was Award Tour mixing in from Super Nova. Unfortunately I didn’t realize to start recording til I was already through the Dilla beats…. oh well. Ok enough talking, here’s the tracklist.

I never get sick of listening to People Under the Stairs (or PUTS). The duo (Double K and Thes One) is one of the most consistent groups I’ve ever heard, when it comes to quality of their album releases. Great lyrics, and even better production. So making an all PUTS mix had been on my agenda since I first started this site, and I wish I would have done it sooner. I did record one a few months back, and even though I don’t practice these, it sounded far too rushed, so I trashed it.

This one, though, is much better. In fact, I’m going to already say that this is one of the best mixes on this site, along side some of the other favorites.

1. People Under The Stairs – Rhymin with the Bonez (Instrumental)
2. People Under The Stairs – The Trip (Instrumental)
3. People Under The Stairs - The Cat (Instrumental)
4. People Under The Stairs – The Cat
5. People Under The Stairs – O.S.T. (Instrumental)

7. People Under The Stairs – Tour Guide
8. People Under The Stairs – Earth Travelers
9. People Under The Stairs – Road Beaters
10. People Under The Stairs – Back on the Block (Instrumental)
11. People Under The Stairs – Afternoon Connection
12. People Under The Stairs – We’ll Be There (10 Seconds Remix)
13. People Under The Stairs – Acid Raindrops
14. People Under The Stairs – LA9X
15. People Under The Stairs – Knuckle Sandwich
16. People Under The Stairs – The Tamburo 5
17. People Under The Stairs – Yield

Unfortunately, I accidentally quit out of djay before saving out the tracklist, and don’t feel like typing out the whole track listing. So, no tracklisting for this one. If there’s a song you want to know, just ask in the comments.

Enjoy.

I know we’re hot off the heals of a Chill Mode Mix already, but I feel this needs to be posted. I’ve listened to it a bunch over the past few days, and no longer want to keep it to myself.

So, one of the ideas I had for this CMM series was producer editions. In other words, having the whole mix of all tracks from one producer. In this case, it’s Necro. His lyrics can be a lot to stomach. He invented death-rap, if that says anything. But if you’re like me, you listen to Necro because he’s an amazing producer. One of my favorites in fact. So you should definitely give this if you value great production. It’s all instrumentals (only one song with lyrics), and fits the CMM series well.

I will soon be having a weekly live broadcast where I mix some tunes, and possibly record to post here. I’ve been playing around with it the last few days, and have gotten a good response. So I will announce what day of the week that is going to be shortly, but feel free to tell me what days work for you.

Enjoy. No tracklisting for this one.
