Mixtape Mondays: Beastie Boys, Sango, Trillwave & James Murphy

Mixtape Mondays kicks off this week with sets featuring the sounds of the Beastie Boys, Sango, James Murphy and Trillwave 3. DJ AllyAl starts the roundup with a heartfelt set dedicated to the Beastie Boys that focuses on their b-boy ready tunes from the mid-80s into the early 90s. Anthony Valadez brings Sango into the studio for a fireside chat and delivers a dope mix of sounds from the budding star from Michigan. James Murphy keeps things going with his Not-So-Summery Summer Jam. The Hood Internet closes things out properly with a massive dose of trap rock on Trillwave 3. Click through to check the tunes.

DJ AllyAl delivers a tribute to Adam "MCA" Yauch and his Beastie Boys brethren with this mix. The set, which he had intended to release on the occasion of MCA's 49th birthday, arrives a bit behind schedule but remains timely as people across continue to celebrate the classic sound of the Beasties' catalog and their fallen brother MCA. Check the track below to listen to The Sounds Of Science: The Music Of The Beastie Boys mixed by AllyAl.

Anthony Valadez recently invited Sango into the basement to discuss music, including his North LP and what he's been working on since releasing the critically acclaimed project. The result is not only an insightful discussion from the pair, but a mix of exclusive tracks from a very gracious Sango. Check the mix below to get a taste of that new new from Michigan's latest golden boy.

James Murphy delivers the Not-Particularly-Summery Summer Jam mix as a late-season contender for your affections. The eclectic mix features tracks from a wide array of artists including Fleetwood Mac, Sylvester and Black Flag. That should give you a pretty good idea of what you're getting yourselves into with this collection of jams. Expect the unexpected. Check the mix below.

The Hood Internet returns with the third installment of the Trillwave series, marrying trap rap with rock jams for a bouncing slightly schizophrenic ball of sonic joy. Tune in and turn up for this mashup, which delivers electro and indie rock on a bed of 808s. Most of us need a pick me up on Mondays and this promises to do the trick once the coffee and energy drinks wear off. Check the mix below.
