Mixtape Mondays: Blackmale Beats, Diplo, DJ Still Life + More

After a weekend celebrating your pops, Mixtape Mondays comes around again with a crate full of musical gems. Blackmale Beats kicks things off with Skool Assembly, a soulful mix the duo created for the Tate museum in Britain, influenced by English school assemblies and featuring soundbits that cover a wide range of topics--get just a taste below and click through for OKP's online premiere of this essential mix. Meanwhile, in the rest of the world Diplo continues the vibes with a genre-spanning BBC mix celebrating the 2014 World Cup. J Boogie and DJ Chicken George blend the likes of Bob Marley, Justin Timberlake and Kaytranada seamlessly into a set recorded live at SXSW. The Soulection crew bring the party to the Boiler Room with back to back sets. DJ Allen Thayer honors Brazillian legend Lincoln Olivetti with an 80 minute career-spanning collection. Pesadão Tropical drops a global bass set while  J.Rocc spins live at The Do- Over. Rounding things out we have a one-of-a-kind set from DJ Day promoting People Under The Stairs' latest record and Stwo's set fromDiplo & Friends. Whether you're in World Cup mode or 'my cup' mode, we got your soundtrack for this week:

Museum-quality mixing by Blackmale Beats (you remember them from previous Mixtape Mondays inclusions) but besides the soulful synthwork and soundbites, you know from the title that beat streets is a lesson, too. Check the artist's statement that accompanies Blackmale's sonic recreation/interrogation of their school assembly days:

‘Skool Assembly’ - The meaning behind this was inspired by our primary and secondary school assembly experiences. School assembly’s were always intense and added a vibrant start to the day. At most every assembly had a local relevant message and involved music or singing. We have taken that concept and brought it back to life in a Blackmale Beats form. ~ Blackmale Beats.

Covering topics such as, British Hip-Hop (past/present/future), Marginalisation, community, culture, creativity, South London plus more. Breaking through with a soulful British twist accompanied with sound bites from programs such as The Real McCoy, Grange Hill, Only Fools And Horses, and Ali G.

Love him or hate 'im (we now there's a lot of both camps out there) Wes Diplo is incontestably the globetrottingest DJ/producer in the spotlight right now--plus he has a special relationship with the music and hood culture of Brazil. All of which makes him sort of the perfect selector to soundtrack the World Cup's spectacle of global competition. Check out his BBC mix dropped this week to celebrate the er, kick-off, of FIFA 2014:
