FUN FACTS:
Almost all of these tracks (exceptions are track 2 and 17) come directly from my own record bag. They were all encoded using Sound Forge to MP3 format at 192kbps. Despite the slight drop in quality I think they sound pretty darned good.

The two tracks NOT from my vinyl collection were ripped from CDs. I actually used to own a white label of the Freestylers remix of "Because I Got It Like That" but it was stolen (or perhaps lost) at a gig I did once. Kosheens "Suicide" has long been a favorite track of mine but I was never able to find a good vinyl copy of it, so I had to settle for a CD... I am still searching for a good vinyl copy tho.

Puerto Rico by Ed Rush and Optical is off of the "Original Dr. Shade" LP and is essentially a remix Frankie Cutlass' "Puerto Rico - Black People", a pretty rad break track. I balk at calling it an all out remix as it only really used the line "Puerto Rico" and a sort of rezzed out yell from the original.

The Upbeats remix of "Subculture" is one of my favorite tracks period. I just love the intensity so I let the thing play alomst in its entirity. For anyone who hasn't heard of Styles of Beyond I suggest this track in its original form and "Style Wars". This exact remix can be found on the "Human Resource" LP, presented by Deiselboy.

"Back @ Mine" by Decoder is a pretty old track and is off of one of the first LPs I ever bought. The high pitched "ah ah ah ah ah" noise in the background is a sped up version of a classic house noise... unfortunatly I really don't know it's origin at this time.

"Panic Attack" is an interesting track in that it gives a "featuring" credit to Nu Balance, who's voice is indeed featured on the track in a sped up, stuttered and almost completly unrecognizable way. For some reason I keep incorperating this track into a majority of my live mixes. It tends to get a crowd pumped up.

"Snow" may or may not be by the same Wildchild of "Renegade Master" fame. There really isn't a whole lot of information available on the subject, but in my opinion I think it is the same Wildchild. The basics of the two songs are too similar for my ears for it to be different artists.

So there ya go. Enjoy the tunes and remember, if you have any ideas for a mix drop a comment and I'll see what I can do.

This mix is actually the second that I ever made using software instead of live turntables, but it's proved to be a favorite among my friends so I thought I would offer it up here first.

A little about this mix:

I had the idea to do a straight up battle mix and this was the result. I also chose to give it as much of an old school sound as possible, so none of the mix points use anything but volume tricks (no EQ changes). I broke my own rule a little with the adding of "Renegade Master" with "Old School Scat", but the effect was just too cool to skip.

 

Tom's Diner is a rather famous acapella track that most people recognize instantly as it starts to play. The version I used here is a break remix with no name attached (from a white label record). I sped this version way up to blend with the other tracks and I ended up really liking how it sounded.

 

"Last Bongo in Brighton" actually is "Electric Rain Dance"... or at least the beginning is. "Last Bongo" starts with the sampled drum beat of "Rain Dance", adds a little more bass, then quickly switches to the guitar and horns part. It's actually kind of hard to distinguish the two tracks and where the mix point is exactly even tho I just slammed from one to the other.

 

"Clear" by Cybertron is the beat that Missy Elliot used for her hit single "Lose Control". Drop the Boom is a remix of the Freestyle track "Don't Stop the Rock". "Renegade Master" is technically a remix of "Old School Scat".

 

I used two Zeb Rok Ski tracks on accident, but would have used more if I was paying less attention. Zeb Rok Ski is a standard name when it comes to Old School Breaks. The fact Zeb makes mostly compilations and medleys makes mixing out of his stuff a breeze and adds a more playful air to the overall mix.

 

I am listed as DJ Maru as the artist here. The first nine or ten mixes I post will have that name only, but after that it will be split with DJ Maru/KillerJunglist. I haven't quite decided if I want to change my name on my mixes yet.

Straight from the record bag to your ears, it’s a brand new Jungle mix from DJ Maru. I have to admit it isn’t nearly as much fun to mix Jungle without my turntables, but it was nice to hear such fast, pounding beats again.

Aggressive? You betcha! It’s the musical equivalent of kicking a guy in the face for an hour, only with less lawsuits!

There are actually two versions of this mix, and I will post the second one as soon as I encode it. The only differance between the two is track 21... in the alternative mix I used "Push-Up" by the Freestylers.
I will place the link here when it is ready.
This House mix is pretty summer-y if you ask me, so roll down the windows, pump up the system and just let it ride.

On a related note, I have now made a total of seven sets (not including my old Jungle mixes) and am seriously thinking about starting a podcast to highlight them. My plan is to talk about the tracks, style, mood, theme and/or history of the music I used and then play the full track. If I garnered any type of success in this endeavor I would also like to feature other peoples DJ sets and talk about those as well. I'll just have to try it out and see.
