[DJ Mix] Capital STEEZ Tribute Mix by Dj Statik Selektah

If you keep up with the underground, you know one of the stories of the year was the ride of Pro Era movement out of Brooklyn led by their crew head, Joey Bada$$. The unfortunate coda to what should have been a triumphant year for these kids was the unexpected suicide of talented crew member, Capital STEEZ just before Christmas. If you weren’t up on this work, DJ Statik Selektah dropped a nice tribute mix to him on his radio show during the holidays which you can listen to right here…

Bonus:

Hit the jump to hear MeLo-X – Live From East Flatbush feat. Joey Bada$$ & CJ Fly (Prod. By MeLo-X)

[DJ mix] Mix Mason – Trapped In Space [EPM Podcast #37]

Long-time Kitchen favorite, Mix Mason drops another excellent, impeccably mixed mixtape. Enjoy…

TRAPPED IN SPACE is a journey into a unique sub-sector of trap, fusing experimental global sounds with dirty, heavy 808 kicks & snares. You could think of it as extraterrestrial ratchet. You could think of it as Grand Theft Auto meets Space Invaders. Or you could just not think about anything, spark one up, pop this on and chill…

[DJ mix] Arcee, Kaewonder, & Dj Serious present Cratery #43

Spotted on the homie, Arcee‘s twitter feed:

The Canadian content on Cratery is at an all-time high. Could be the influence of our bi-coastal brethren Sipreano and Birdapres. It could be a desire to snatch up that local sh*t for trade leverage. Or an overwhelming source of national pride (It’s probably not the last one). The CANCON on this month’s episode arrives courtesy of 3 tripped out artists from Quebec: Guy Rheaume, Sex and Les Champignons [ed note: I don’t see Les Champignons in the track list below]. So much incredible music was recorded in Quebec in the 60’s and 70’s. Sadly, much of it remains unknown. We do venture outside of La Belle Province with selections like Irene Kral’s “Wheelers and Dealers”, a recent vocal jazz discovery I found in a local spot for $6. Kaewonder reminds us not to sleep on the Carla Thomas catalog (as does Madlib) and DJ Serious unearths a randomly alternate version of George Benson’s “The Changing World” (without the ‘I used to love H.E.R. sample). Cratery 43, bitches. Stream it or download below.

I love the fact that there’s a skip at the end of the Johnny Trouble record (real vinyl, yeah!) and “2,4,6,8”, one of my favorite songs from my favorite album of all time, is in this mix.

TRACKLIST:
1. Irene Kral – Wheelers and dealers
2. Guy Rheaume – Ca Tourne
3. Tim Maia – Joao Coragem
4. Premiere Capsule – Folies du Mercredi
5. Sex – Born to love
6. Ahmad Jamal – Patterns
7. Gary Burton – Vibrafinger
8. Twelve Top Hits – Chicago
9. Johnny Trouble – Turns me on
10. Bobby Wilson – Don’t shut me out
11. Carla Thomas – I’ve fallen in love with you
12. O Donel Levy – I wanna be where you are
