Dunfyboy's Beastie Boys Mix
(141 downloads)Right click to download this 79 minute Dunfyboy mix
I recorded a few hip hop mixes to my PC last year and as they were among the first I recorded I really should get round to posting them here but, in typical Dunfyboy fashion, I'll post a mix I've just recorded first :) It's another artist mix, this time 3 of New York's finest - the Beastie Boys.
Most people will only know them from "Fight For Your Right" or "Intergalactic" but there's a lot more to them than that. They wouldn't have lasted over 20 years if that was all they had. Some people don't like them because they tend to be a bit shouty, they don't take themselves (or hip hop) too seriously or because they just can't get their heads around white, middle class jews rapping, but it turns out these people are arseholes.
The art is based on the Tibetan flag. The Beasties have long been supporters of Free Tibet and with the upcoming Olympics it's an issue that's on the front pages again. Wow, a bit of politics on the Dunfyboy podcast! Took a little while to do as I had to get the white "mountain" layered behind the hands as it looked like a bit of hand job action was going on otherwise.
Anyway, here's the mix. There were plenty of good tunes that didn't make the cut. I ruled out their instrumental tracks and tunes from associated projects (so no Mix Master Mike or Country Mike) and I still struggled to get the mix under 80 minutes.

Enjoy.

Remember to check out www.dunfyboysmixes.blogspot.com for future mixes. There's a couple on there already and more on the way.
I've been listening to dance music for ever (at least, it feels like it) and mixing for the past 15 years. It was hearing Eon's "Spice" that really hooked me, followed by other classics like Joey Beltram's "Energy Flash" and Orbital's "Chime". After that, I fell in love with the breakbeat-driven rave tunes like The Prodigy's "Your Love" and Urban Shakedown's "Some Justice". This lead onto early English happy hardcore and the harder sounds coming out of Scotland & Holland.
In the second half of the 90s, happy hardcore got cheesier and all hardcore seemed to be turning into gabba. The countless remixes meant there wasn't really anything new for me and I pretty much gave up on hardcore in 97/98, turning to trance instead. Luckily, I'd gotten into big beat two or three years before that so, plenty of breakbeats there to keep me happy. This lead onto nu-school breaks and the dirty, heavier sound of electro house has got me back into house.
So far, my mixes have been download in the UK, Ireland, Finland, Germany, France, The Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, Poland, Serbia, Greece, Morocco, Australia, Japan, Malaysia, Brasil, Argentina, Canada, the US and Mexico. It's kinda weird to think of all the little zeroes and ones from my computer spreading all over the world and (hopefully) making a few people smile along the way. If your country's missing from the list, let me know.
After a little Googling, I see my podcast has been mentioned on a few sites and forums, no thanks to me. Thanks to all who have spread the word.
I hate to sound like an attention whore, but it takes time to create and upload these mixes (not to mention make the artwork) so if you download a mix or sign up to my rss feed below, please take the time to leave a comment. It's good to hear from you and find out what you think of the mixes here.
Now, get downloading.
