Some of y’all might have caught this one. Some time ago, a French DJ by the name of DJ Troubl put out a mixtape called A Journey Into Fresh Diggin: Quasimoto Meets Himself. Check that post for details.
Anyway, after that was posted, somebody quietly removed the mix from the server, prompting a bunch of emails asking me where the mix went, and where one could get it. I just recently came across a CD with that mix on it, so with it being Labor Day and all, I figured I’d throw a nice long joint up for people to listen to while they drink lemonade or whatever it is you do on Labor Day.
This joint is around 76 minutes long, so there’s plenty to get into here. Funk, soul, jazz loops, Quasimoto (who is, for the uninitiated, the alter ego of Madlib), and just good music. Check it. More info available at rappcatts.com.

DJ TROUBL’ “A Journey Into Fresh Diggin:QUASIMOTO MEETS HIMSELF” PLAYLISTTTTT!!!
NB: this playlist is copied directly from a kinda spastic message board post Troubl made himself around a year ago, so things might get kinda interesting with spelling and track IDs.
1. Intro VAST AIR “Look mom no hands”
2. QUAS “Dinosaur Brain Beat” Original Sample (SCRATCH “Soulfly”) Not sure of this one??!
3. DJ DESIGN “Sparkdala”
4. QUAS “Microphone Mathematics Remix”
5. QUAS “Microphone Mathematics” Original sample (DON CHERRY “Complete Communion”)
As most of you are aware, I get so much music on a daily basis that it’s not possible to put even a tenth of it into a show. Thus, a lot of good shit never ends up getting out, due to a combination of my tendency to sit on joints until I feel like it’s ready and my ADHD kicking in and me getting bored with the stuff I was going to put out. It’s not an easy life, trust me.
So with that said, I’ve tried to put some of the joints that really caught my attention over the last few months on this podcast. Don’t call it “leftovers”, cause it ain’t that, but just because sometimes I just can’t fit a song into a particular episode shouldn’t mean that it never gets out.
Here’s the track list.
Dabrye – Air feat MF Doom. Regardless of what I might have said about that Dangerdoom project, I’m still a Doom fan – and I’ve always liked Dabrye’s shit. If you feel this joint, I’d actually recommend going out and picking up Dabrye’s Two/Three – it was a long time in the making and there are at least five joints that spent forever in my Volvo CD player. dabrye.com.
Nicolay – The End Is Near feat Black Spade. I was actually so swamped a few months ago that I never actually got to listen to this record until I was in Hong Kong. I remember the overall record – Here – being sort of hit or miss sometimes, but for the Black Spade joints are definitely worth checking out. Cop up. myspace.com/nicolay.
Damn, you get busy for like 2 weeks and people start blowing up your email.
So once again with the concept episodes – this time it’s some shit that I’ve had in the lab for literally a year – the Nintendo Mixtape. Every beat on this joint either uses Nintendo samples or just kinda has that vibe. Trust me, this whole episode is hot.
Yo – not that I normally do this, but I’m going to give y’all a sneak peek at what this upcoming episode is gonna have. By now y’all are probably used to me giving things away every other show or so – well, this upcoming show is going to be no different. I just got back in last night from one of the first stops on the Exile (Sound In Color) Dirty Science Tour, and this is more than likely some shit you do not want to miss.
Hence, in traditional Mixtape Show fashion, we’re keeping it family as usual, and SIC’s given me the goahead to give out some free tickets to the show. As in, you +1 on the guestlist, no charge, nothing. This involves getting off the internet, though.
Check out the lineup:
Exile (promoing his new album, Dirty Science. He’s also got the most critically acclaimed joint on Mobb Deep’s new album).
Blu – you’ve heard him here before. Actually you’ve heard Exile here before, now that I think of it.
Wildchild (Stones Throw, Lootpack) showed up last night, MED’s (yeah) gonna be there for a few spots, and there was some dude there who literally did his first joint ever live solo on stage and fucking ripped it. Par for course, I forgot dude’s name, (get at me!) but he’s just started running with the Sound In Color camp and he’s worth checking out. Be on the lookout for him to prolly show up here and there on future episodes.
ANYWAY. Here’s the lineup:
april 4th – Los Angeles @ Dragon Fly
april 5th – Sacramento @ Capitol Garage
april 6th – San Jose @ Streetlight records (In-Store)
