Back In The Day - Old School Reunion

So Im playing this Old School reunion party tonight. It should be hella fun if not for only seeing a whole lot of old faces. Im gonna drop some hands in the air trance bits that Ive mashed up which will be extra funny cos when that stuff was big I was playing jungle.
Old school in general is so many things to me, music wise - Hip Hop, reggae, hair metal, trance, jungle, house, speed garage, dancehall ect. So heres a rather eclectic assortment of some tunes that are "back in the day" for me, in no particular order.


DAWN PENN & BOUNTY KILLA "NO NO NO" [Unknown Jungle Remix]
This is an old school jungle ragga lick done but a to this day unknown producer. If anyone out there has the 411 on who to credit for the beats and breaks please advise.

SL2 "ON A RAGGA TIP"
Old school doesnt get any better than this. This anthem still goes down heavy to this very day.

AHMAD "BACK IN THE DAY"
One of my favorite and often times slept on hiphop jam from .....back in the day

OUTKAST "PLAYERS BALL"
Most cats I encounter these days love Outkast but have no idea about this song or the album its from. Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik was widely slept on in my opinion but this tune is one of the greatest hip hop songs ever. RECOGNIZE!

UNDERWORLD "BORN SLIPPY"
This is pretty much "the rave anthem".


DEF LEPPARD VS. MIMS "POUR SOME HOT SUGAR ON ME" [A plus D mashup]
This tune was huge for me as a air guitar playing youth... well the original Def Leppard track was. I unfortunately dont have an mp3 of it but this mash up will do and for anyone actually craving to relive the whole Def Leppard experience - see below.

2nd Annual Boxing Day Sound Clash feat. NEIGHBOUR

DEC.26/07 2nd ANNUAL BOXING DAY SOUNDCLASH

feat.

NEIGHBOUR [Homebreakin Records]


Matt aka NEIGHBOUR has lived and breathed music since he busted out the cradle. At age 5 he would cajole strangers with his beloved ukulele, progressing onto guitar and bass as time went on. After learning to play saxophones in the jazz band and plying his trade as a music teacher throughout high school, he moved on to Mount Royal College where he took part in the Jazz Studies program on guitar. Through it all, Matt developed his recording skills alongside his instruments, learning on the classic four-track Tascam and moving onto serious multitracking and computer sequencing. A strong love for funk, soul, and disco developed as he worked at local record stores and sure enough, these elements are ever present in his groove-drenched productions. These days, when he's not producing or teaching music for Home Breakin', he spends his time playing gigs around town with various bands, DJing, and digging for the next break to transform into funky black gold.

Heres some Mp3 goodness for you courtesy of Neighbour,Wax Romeo and a cheeky little remix I did of one of their tracks. PEEP IT!

NIK 7 [ Shout Out Out Out Out / NRMLS WLCM ]

Not much can be said about the Shout out's that hasnt already been said. They've rocked the continent backwards,forwards,rightside up and upside down with their signature brand of vocoder infused electro synth dance rock. Although if you happen to find comfort under rocks and are unaware of the phenom that is SO4 I would recommend a listen and a viewing. These guys take the energy of the live experience to the next level and that you can take to the next level bank! [ see below].


A HOME TOWN PERFORMANCE THAT DISPLAYS JUST HOW CRAZY THEIR SHOWS REALLY ARE!!!!


"Shout out out out out" @ The MOD CLUB



The band is crazy! CRAZY GOOD!
However what some people dont know is that their lead man NIK 7 is also one badass DJ. He holds down his weekly NRMLS WLCM night at The Temple alongside band mate Jaycie Jay. He also has a special DJ project on the go with another Edmonton superstar Rollie Pemberton aka Cadence Weapon, they come together to form NEW STRATHCONA.

With all this on the go its surprising that Shout out out out out has a new LP in the works but this is no lie, they do.

In the mean time heres one of my favorite SO4 joints.

MP3 - "Forever Indebted" by Shout Out Out Out Out





NIK 7 headlines Oh Snap! This Saturday for a special HIPSTERS vs. HIPPIES affair in conjunction with Edmontons favorite hippy laden crew GOMP!
