Midnight Marauder Wax Poetics 20th Anniversary Mixtape
UPDATE: It's not Monday no more but Wax Poetics' Midnight Marauders 20th Anniversary mixtape definitely needs to get some burn on here too. Oh my god. Yes. Oh my god.
In this week's edition of Mixtape Mondays, we have two tapes honoring legendary hip-hop albums and one that is impossible to fit in one genre. Wish honors A Tribe Called Quest's 20th anniversary of Midnight Marauders, Purple brings us on a space-journey, and samples of The Beatles are re-contextualized with Wu-Tang Clan verses. Click through to hear our picks of the best mixes on the planet.
A Tribe Called Quest's classic Midnight Marauders was released 20 years ago. DJ Mars, DJ Kerosene, and DJ Trauma re-imagine the record with remakes and remixes using the original samples. Stream and DL the magic below (and rep your Native Tongues set with our Midnight Marauders crew neck. Made of 100% classic material)
Purple recently hit up the Diplo & Friends show on BBC 1 as apart of a WEDIDIT takeover. The results are unstoppable. Peep what he put together below.
Tracklist:
Lowfish - Fatblex
Der Zyklus - Von Neumann Replicator
Silicon Scally - Orks Of War
Phuture - The Horses
Model 500 - Night Drive
Warp 9 - Light Years Away
The Egyptian Lover - Egypt, Egypt
Tom Caruana took the risky attempt of combining the music of The Beatles with Wu-Tang Clan's rhymes. Enter The Magical Mystery Chambers is no doubt worth a spin, espeicaialy with Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) celebrating it's 20th anniversary. Stream the tape to find out what happens when the Shaolin and Liverpool's finest come together.
