"This 120-minute journey is a soulful homage to all train writers: that feeling of walking home in the morning light, maybe lucky enough to catch a glimpse of your train rolling by. No one else needs to understand it — you live your own life, and you choose what to do with your creativity. Many of these souls face constant pressure, and only the moment afterward offers pure freedom and a quiet stillness within. Take care of yourselves, savor every moment, and don’t lose sight of the step back into reality." - CORS ONE (TNC/N3M)

The mix theme is 90's remixes including all your favourite artists such as Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Nas, Organized Konfusion, A Tribe Called Quest, etc... you name the artist and they are here, sliced and diced only how a legendary battle DJ can.
Artwork by long time AE designer Fine Print completes the project but no track titles are listed as in true old school fashion you need to do some homework and dig for the cuts that you don't already know plus this keep you guessing what's coming next. " - courtesy of AE Productions

" To celebrate the release of the Castly Town Steelo 7-inch, K-DEF (Real Live) and SOUTHPAW CHOP join forces for an ultra-limited 90's Hip Hop Classics split mix (only 100 copies worldwide).
Side A: East Coast legend K-DEF sets it off with his fan-favorite "It’s Getting Hot (K-Def Remix)," weaving his own classics with golden-era anthems, closing with the timeless "World Renown" built from A Tribe Called Quest vocal samples.
Side B: SOUTHPAW CHOP, a DJ and beatmaker with impeccable taste, opens with the Large Professor-featured "Here We Go" and flips straight into three rare joints from KAMAKAZE – Bridge95 EP. From there, he delivers a quick-mix journey through D.I.T.C.'s DJ Premier remix, the original "Vibrations" sample behind Big L's "Put It On," plus Gang Starr, Mobb Deep, and more East Coast essentials.
60 minutes of pure boom bap mastery you won't hear anywhere else. Once they’re gone, they’re gone — don’t sleep. " courtesy of Hisa Sports
Avantgarde Vak a.k.a VANSERNU of blaqLotus Records is back with 2 brand new mixtapes entitled "BURNDAHGROUND" & "WHY DJ GOT TWO COPIES II", both available on physical format.
" BURNDAHGROUND ‘25 is a 90-minute analog odyssey into the depths of 90s underground hip-hop. Curated and mixed by Avantgarde Vak a.k.a. VANSERNU, this mixtape resurrects the raw, dusty spirit of forgotten 12”s, indie test presses, and long-lost cassette joints—tracks that lived in crates, not charts.
From the grimy backstreets of NYC to the hazy corners of the West Coast, this set digs deeper than your average boom-bap fix. Featuring Mister Voodoo, MF Grimm, Godfather Don, Concrete Mob, and a host of unsung legends, each cut bleeds texture, grit, and soul. Expect razor-sharp lyricism, tape hiss, saturated drum loops, and the unmistakable crackle of vinyl.Side Phat flows jazzy and meditative—hip-hop for midnight headphones and rainy streets. Side Def flips the switch with aggressive streetwise anthems and warehouse cipher energy. Both sides, however, stay rooted in that uncompromising, lo-fi essence.
No filler. No gimmicks. Just pure, unfiltered underground sound—for the heads who never stopped diggin’. " - courtesy of blaqLotus Records

"A 90-minute live mix straight from the crates. Back in the day, real DJs didn’t need a laptop. Just two copies of the same 12” wax and the skills to flip it for 90 minutes straight. We took it back to that era — diggin’ through the rawest underground joints and illest rhyme spitters from the golden age of boom bap. BEOMSUU & VANSERNU locked in. One take. No edits. That’s hip-hop. "Still flippin' two of the same record. One ain't enough." " - courtesy of blaqLotus Records
