  • Yes, already got Energy to Burn, it's a classic!
  • I think this is the first time I have ever copped any records from FB marketplace. A set sale that I wanted for the SSO Band, which doesn't crop up all that much down here in Sydney. The rest will go into the trade, sell pile.
  • I liked Nosferatu, but I'm a sucker for Egger's films, Lighthouse, Norseman and the Witch. Plus it had Dafoe! although I felt that he was a little underutilized. The Vampire felt too buff for me and I agree it did drag in the 2nd half. But I would w…
  • Nice to see you back O'Dub. I co-sign on the DJ Premier angle. That was the first time I heard someone openly discuss sample snitching. So 98 right? 
  • I hope all the LA strutters are safe and well.  I saw the Madlib thing as well. Aside from the devastating fact that your home is gone, the loss of all that music, records and equipment being destroyed is heartbreaking as well. At least all his fami…

  • I hope everyone is safe. Down here in Australia we know the horrors of bushfires only too well.

  • A lot of Australian record stores for the last few years have been taking advantage of the Yen's weakness and been going over there to source records. I'm not sure how I feel about it. On the one hand, I've heard the price of 2nd records over there …
  • The breaks is still online? that's wild.  I thought we might have to update the gremlin to "Take that shit to who sampled"  But yeah I have no idea what that sample is either, sorry. 
  • Are we still doing  or have we matured as a community? 
  • ketan said: Not horror, but speaking of Indigenous-themed gore, Prey is easily the best Predator movie for my money.  I rewatched the OG not so long ago and, man, the first part of that movie drags hard.  I've only seen Predator 2 otherwise..…
  • I gave up on sneakers years ago after all my Nikes with an air-sole crumbled into dust. Now I laugh at all these re-seller kids that brag that they have thousands invested in sneakers. That ish will be dust soon enough. Now I just have a pair of O…
  • I had the first 25 mins of that Vadim and Prime Cuts mix that came free with a Mixmag back in the day. Used to get heavy rotation on the old CD Walkman. I never realised that it was longer than the 25-minute sampler though. I've got tons of CDs I  n…
  • Blastman said: Trump is somehow charismatic to people, and he’s a very good businessman Good businessman? Please. Before the election, he was going broke, squandered millions from his inheritance, and almost every business he has ever run …
  • Better late than never.  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11GEzTVog5MnKS-j5qtlbXPWa9gvYAqoh?usp=sharing Let me know if this works for you all 
  • Oh wow that's great news. I've been slowly trawling through the old posts. 
  • I found my copy yesterday. I can rip and upload it tomorrow if no one beats me to it.
  • Saddened to hear of the passing of Paul Nice. One of my favourite DJs and producers. I can't express how influential Breaks for Days, JFK to Narita and the Soul on the Grill series were to me.
  •  If you don't have much time in Tokyo, I'd hit Disk Union, Shibuya Shinjuku and Shimokitazwa, HMV Shibuya, and Face Records—Coco Island Music Mart for reggae. There are tons of other spots, but I haven't been back since 2018 so not sure what's still…
  • 25 years is no joke. This site taught me so much about digging and introduced me to many friends and peers that I might not have met otherwise. I even kinda miss being hazed by Fauz Rillz back in the day. Thanks for the memories Raj.
  • The funniest thing about that thread is the guy claiming Dante must not produce music! 
  • RIP Rudolph Isely https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/oct/12/rudolph-isley-founding-member-of-the-isleys-brothers-dies-at-84 Used to bump the J.Period mix constantly back when it came out. It's a nice little tribute to the influence the brother…
  • Most of McCallum's obituaries I have read, completely gloss over his contribution to music. 
  • I was confused and thought Phil Most had moved to Antwerp for a second there.
  • Jazz has been taking some heavy hits lately with Ramsey and Lewis and now Pharoh Sanders. 
  • RIP Fredrik Lager aka Freddie Cruger aka Red Astaire  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjLhMTWvHxY&feature=emb_title 
  • This is the youtube channel you have been searchin for www.youtube.com/c/Mr818Joker
  • Just check discogs. The comments on a release page about reissues always comment on the quality of the pressings, defects ect. I got burned on a fela reissue which was missing the whole right channel. if i had just read the comments!
  • I just been watching Jazzy Jeff on Youtube. Wed lunch time and Friday house party has been keeping me sane and dancing around the lounge room. On a side note a bunch of EDM djs pop up on my feed randomly. Watching them play is so boring. One mix eve…

  • I don't think Quest is sell out. He is however very nerdy bordering on cringe worthy. That havin been said he has been involved in some amazing musical moments as a drummer. Him as a DJ is not my thing. He came to Sydney and we all went expecting th…
  • @4YearGraduate What is your discogs handle?
