Disco Scratch

See the tippex on this tape?  The first 10 tapes in this series were the ones I used over and over from Mike Allen days.  The tippex was used to cover over whatever was on previously… what a shame, but still, my man Big Jim is going to contribute a very large Mike Allen collection for the Disco Scratch listeners, so look out for that soon.

Waxer’s Tape Rips Hip Hop # 6.  No exact date on this one but I think autumn 1989 is a good bet.

Look out for shouts to Graf Crews throughout this tape, you may have a shout out!!

This tape has got a lot of stuff from the UK scene at the time, as in what was going on, news of events at the time, an interview with the She Rockers, a DJ Pogo set and those famous phone shout outs from UK homeboys trying to sound as hardcore as possible!

1.Top Billin’ – Straight From The Soul
2.KCJ Cuts it up 20 minute mix (Terrible Mixing!!!):
Sparky D Vs The Play Girls
Mantronix – Ladies
Wrong Girls To Play With
K9 Posse – This Beat Is Military
3.De La Soul – Ghetto Thang
4.Ice T – High Rollers
00:31:00 Ice T interview with Dave Pearce
5.New releases & UK Hip Hop News
6.DJ Pogo set from DMX heats in Romford
7.She Rockers Interview + Get Up On This + On Stage
8.Chris Biscuit – Rhymes To Kill
9.Eric B & Rakim – The R
10.KCJ Mix 2
Lakim Shabazz – The Posse Is Large
Monie Love – I Can Do This (2 mixes)

What made me laugh with this tape was listening to the KCJ mixes and remember thinking at the time how can he be on the radio and be sooooo bad?  I mean even my mixing at the time was better than that!  You had decent UK DJs that weren’t on the radio absolutely slaughtering him!  But you know what?  I wouldn’t change a thing, it gave me a fuzzy warm feeling that he was probably poo-ing himself and messing the mixes up, made it all seem more human and accessible!

Anyway, enjoy!
