Contradictory Hiphop opinion, with a bitter and twisted attitude…
Diggin’ In The Crates
Have some more mixes…
Dec 24th
…gifts from Santa and the Elvins.
2009 is gonna be major.
Audio from the past weekend’s shows on V89 and Blazin’ with tracklists below. I’ve had a thing for that Take 6 remix lately and so weekend listeners to both shows got a double dose. Ditto on ‘Christmas In Hollis’ – you can really only play that around this time anyway.

Feedback, love letters and hatemail is always appreciated.

Blazin’ 102.3 Audio – 10/5/08
Oct 7th
Bloody hell, I’ve barely posted anything on here for over a month.
Anyway… first Sunday of every month… you know how we do… Blazin’ 102.3 – Diggin’ In The Crates – Stess, E-Zone, and A to the L… blah blah blah…
This show, E-Zone went to the East Coast and I took it to the West. I span (spun / spinned) at V89 on Saturday and went from the usual mixing and blending to the rapidfire selection steelo (audio of that in a bit too), and I had so much fun doing it I figured I might end up doing in on Sunday’s Blazin’ show.
Listening back to this, I’m very concious of a couple of things…
1) E-Zone kicked my ass this week… no matter how much fun I had, good mixing shits all over crashing shit together. Back to normal next time for moi.
2)) I need a new laptop… every time I fuck up I’m blaming my old laptop which can’t stand the strain of me abusing Serato’s cuepoints so quickly. My screen refreshes too slowly and there’s a delay between keypressing and anything actually happening. Matter of fact, from here on out, I think I’ll use that excuse for every screw up on beatmatching & blends, curse words slipping into the mix, dead air, and all other major calamaties.
If you want to hear shit LIVE… then listen in using the link below, every Sunday between 8pm and 10pm.
Alternatively you can listen live HERE.
Blazin’ 102.3 Audio – 09/07/08
Sep 9th
Two hours of nothing but classics… props to Stess and E-Zone for letting me come through and spin on the show. I’ll be doing this on the first Sunday of every month from now on during Stess’s Diggin’ In The Crates show (Blazin’ 102.3 – 8pm to 10pm) and will be tossing the audio up here a day or two later. Alternatively you can listen live HERE.
