Mixpak FM: DJ Assault

January 20th, 2012

Mixpak FM 028 comes from the one and only DJ Assault, Detroit dirty rap linchpin and the father of Booty Bass. Most people will be familiar with Assault through his mid-90s booty hit, ‘Ass N Titties’, pioneering the sound of melding electro beats with raunchy lyrics. His first self-run label, Electrofunk, was so popular that it had to be split into a further two labels, after selling more records than any other techno artist in the motor city at the time. After releasing countless club hits (and performing as his rap alter-ego Craig Diamonds on the side), Assault established his latest label Jefferson Ave.

DJ Assault’s Mixpak FM mix is a ride through 28 of his own productions, all mixed together in the token ghettotech fast-paced style. Watch out for his signature out-there sampling, from Rick James to raccoons. This one comes with a parental guidance warning!

Mixpak FM: AC Slater

November 18th, 2011

Mixpak 026 is brought to you by NYC’s AC Slater, member of the Trouble & Bass crew and head of the Party Like Us label. His first major EP, Jack Got Jacked, released on Palms Out in 2008 dropped with a bang, and he has since been in hot demand for remixes and co-production across the world, delivering for Crookers, Boys Noize and more recently with Big Sean, Bart B More and Drop The Lime. He is as comfortable making dubstep as he is rave-inspired tracks and funky house and probably also holds the title of having the only huge club tune based around a sandwich.

His Mixpak FM offering gives you an idea of his club set: Tomb Crew to Torro Torro, Beyonce to Big K.R.I.T, alongside his own remixes and those from the T&B fam. Big Brooklyn bass.

Mixpak FM: Greenmoney

October 12th, 2011

Mixpak 023 is brought to you by London production duo, Greenmoney. Otherwise known as Leo Greenslade, head honcho of one of London’s best club nights, YoYo, and Alex Phountzi, formerly of Bugz In The Attic, the pair first touched down as an outfit with their remix of Kanye West’s ‘Love Lockdown’. They dropped their first, critically acclaimed ‘Gold Rush’ EP in 2010, before setting up their own label, Greenmoney Recordings, earlier this year, with signees including Mista Men and Hardhouse Banton (out this week!).

Their huge UK funky and house remixes of Gyptian, Busy Signal and Mz Bratt are not to be missed, and neither is their Mixpak FM offering, which showcases not only their DJ skills, but more importantly a great selection of unreleased Greenmoney Recordings material, from Major Notes to their very own Greenmoney Dubs Vol. 2.

Mixpak FM: Bobmo

October 5th, 2011

Mixpak 022 comes from Parisian producer, Bobmo. As half of High Powered Boys (with Surkin), one third of Marble Players (alongside Para One and Surkin), and responsible for a string of his own respected productions in the last few years, Bobmo actually started out as a rapper before being signed to (the sadly now defunct) Institubes label for his beats. Since then, he has released many a quality EP, delving into house, electro and all-round club ready tracks – from Bring It to Let’s Go Bobmo, and his latest The Cliff.

His Mixpak FM mix bounces through brand new productions from his fellow Marble Players, classic house from Armando and remixes from Sam Tiba and Kink. Close your eyes and imagine you’re in a superclub in Paris.
