2008!?! Are you serious? Wasn't it just 1998? Time flies when you keep yourself medicated - with beats that is. What did you think I was going to say? No-no-no we don't condone that type of thing but if you do find yourself at home after a couple of sodas grab your headphones and press play on our first podcast for 2008.
Starting off this year is DJ Format featuring Abdominal and D-Sisive with 3 Feet Deep, yeah sure they sort of sound like Big Daddy Kane and Em but Format's on some serious hip hop buzz and that's a good thing. Coming in at the #2 spot is the Beatconductor aka Freddie Cruger with Don't Stop. Keeping the pace going is a Fort Knox Five remix of Skeewiff's Now I'm Livin for Me. DJ Format's second of three songs in this podcast is his intrumental 2,3..Scrape. We've played a few of the Mashed Up Funk series in past podcasts and they have all been top notch, this one(Jackson Torpedo) included. Format is back again with Abdominal for the last of his tracks, I'm Good. Cut Chemist, the beat wizard, slams down some serious beats in Bunky's Pick before Blackalicious and Nikki Giovanni give us some ethereal history of the world with Ego Trip. Mos Def, Tash and Q-Tip's track Body Rockin gets the Drum & Bass treatment. Belleruche steps in with The Itch and Mark Ronson drops one of the strangest and funkiest remixes in recent memory with Tiggers and the late ODB and their rendition of everyone's favourite train wreck, Britney's Toxic. Next up is the first slice in a Lefties Soul Connection sandwich - Move What You Got. Making up the tofu turkey slice is the Broken Keys with Burnt Popcorn. Topping off that sandwich is the Lefties again with Sling Shot pt 2. Rounding out the first podcast of 2008 is the earth conscious Ones and J-Live with Give It Up.
