Limitless Excursions

For every person that's heard these, there are those who haven't.
Here's another bunch of Very Fresh Hip Hop, Dancehall, Reggae mixes that were forwarded to me a couple of weeks back. Thanks to Hugh for the heads up on all these. Shout out to all the DJ's whose mixes are featured here. Descriptions appear from the artists themselves, unless otherwise noted. Here we go again.

Controller 7 - Bumps



"If you’ve seen the tracklist I know you’re thinking “what, another early ‘90s hip-hop mix? “ Hear Controller 7 out though– Bumps isn’t purely just an exercise in nostalgia nor one of those “check out my 4 Freddy Fresh star ‘random rap’ singles.” Rather, it’s Controller 7 taking some killer tunes and finding a way to make them work together even better. In other words, it does exactly what a good mix should do: take the familiar and transform them into something new and listenable. It’s one of the better mix-CDs I’ve heard in a long time and doesn’t get bogged down in excessive turntablistics or weak segues. The playlist has songs you know well: Pete Rock and CL Smooth’s “Straighten It Out,” Cypress Hill’s “Hand on the Pump,” etc. but it also includes tracks you might have forgotten like Sparky D’s “Throwdown,” De La Soul’s “Freedom of Speak,” Stezo’s “Bring the Horns,” and Del’s “Burnt.” All in all, 31 tracks built from 90+ records (and apparently, a video). Bump this. -O-Dub"
