Joker - Essential Mix (11/19/2011)
It's probably my fault, but I was underwhelmed by Joker's debut album. It's hard to get super excited when he couples years-old tunes alongside tracks that have been on the dubplate circuit for a bit. I applaud his signature sound, but just wished that I had heard less of the album before it dropped. In any case, I love his unique mixes, and bugged when I realized that he'd stepped up for the Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1. He drops tracks from The Vision alongside some remixes, dubplates and big tunes from Skream, Benga, Stinkahbell, Jakes and Sam Frank's "Simple Life", which is a true gem in my life.DOWNLOAD Joker - Essential Mix (11/19/2011)
Westwood On 1Xtra (6/10/2011)
Aside from dropped fresh new bits from the likes of Joker, Jakwob, Waka Flocka, Soulja Boy and others, the UK badman himself Westwood had the Wu-Tang Clan in studio talking Hip-Hop, touring and Prince William and Kate. Yeah. Not your typical Hip-Hop show, but I figure you Wu heads would be into this, for the archives.DOWNLOAD Westwood On 1Xtra (6/10/2011)
MistaJam - Saturday Night Soundclash (6/04/2011)
I actually rocked to this late Saturday night - some serious sounds. Dope producer-driven conversation with Chase & Status, a special 25-minute mix from Joker, and some of the finest beats within the Bass Music scene. You already know!DOWNLOAD MistaJam - Saturday Night Soundclash (6/04/2011)
Disc Jockey Nappy - Purp & Green
We here at rockthedub are honored to present the FIRST Disc Jockey Nappy mix in four years. Dude's gone through a lot, and lived up to his "I'm coming home hard, focused like I'm magnified" line in "This Is Anger". For his first mix out the box, he drops a special tribute to the dubstep phenom known as Joker. Joker's possibly one of the illest producers in the game - not just in dubstep. His tracks are in that 140 BPM range, but his sound and style are all his own. Dude was on twitter a few months back, asking for suggestions for the title of his album, and I hit him with "Purp & Green", for two reasons: one, DC Comics supervillain The Joker had a purple and green color scheme, and two, the combination of what Joker was calling his sound ("Purple Wow") and the obvious reference to smoking drugs while listening/creating dubstep. He never responded, but I kept that name on the mental. When Nappy asked for some help compiling essential Joker tracks, the title had a project. Not only does the Thugstep Architect manage to include Joker's new single, "The Vision (Breathe In)" (which features Jessie Ware), but he also throws in the tracks that Lessondary spitters Che Grand and Elucid vocaled, amongst many remixes and bangin' original tracks. And just to keep it thugsteppery and nignorant, the mix ends with a banger of a remix from Texas' own Crizzly and the enornamous new single from Juicy J. You might just need to roll up some of that purple green and kick back to this one - if you weren't a fan before, you will be now... and if you've BEEN a fan, this will solidify why.DOWNLOAD Disc Jockey Nappy - Purp & Green
