Freestylers - 8th February 1998

Hard to believe how old this mix is, but you can sort of hear it's age, it's sort of got a bit of a cheesy, big beat thing going on. The Freestylers have changed direction somewhat since they started off. It's funky as hell though, when I first got it I ended up listening to it constantly for like a week.

Krafty Kuts - 27th February 2005

Krafty Kuts used to be my hero, but unfortunately he seems to have changed direction a bit and I'm not so keen now. That said, I think I've got to stick this on my iPod and have a few more listens to it before my final judgement. The first 20 minutes had me bouncing about in my chair but I got a bit bored after that and didn't listen much further, but having just flicked through it and checked the tracklisting I think I might have been a bit too hasty. For one I've just heard one of the tracks which takes me back to a very nice night out (though I'm not sure which one, think it might have been at The Glade a few weeks ago), think it's Alex Dolby, Hazy Way, about 90 minutes in, pure ecstasy ;-) Sort of gets me thinking of Angel's go Bald crossed with Layo and Bushwacka. Anyway, it's definitely recommended to be worth the download, can never have too much Krafty.

DJ Shadow - 30th March 2003

What the fuck! Radio 1's website conveniently seems to miss this one out, despite having all the others for this year! Never mind, eh.....

Anyway.... the mix..... well, sort of split down the middle, with loads of hip hop for the first hour and then goes into older, more obscure tracks for the second half. A good mix and a must for any DJ Shadow fan.
