Disco Scratch

Right you lot, for every day in August there will be a fresh Old School UK download for you in the forum.

When you go to the forum and look at the boards, there is a section entitled “UK Hip Hop Downloads upto 1994″. You will see the mixtape, live performance & radio show sections always, but the other download boards require you to have the status of MUTANT ROCKER. This means you need to have at least 5 posts before you can access those sections.

For example, todays download is The Hardrock Soul Movement 12, “The Beat Is Mine”.

The post is here: http://discoscratch.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=68.0

If you click the link above but cannot see the post then you need to post some more to get to it. Now I’m only doing this to drive some more traffic to the forum and engage more people in conversations about the golden age of UK rap.

Hopefully this will raise the profile of the forum and draw some more people in. I am tweeting automatically all the forum posts now and each new download will be highlighted on the main DS site.

All stuff I am uploading will be vinyl rips from my own collection, MP3s at 320kbps/16 bit/44.1khz/stereo quality, which basically means you won’t get a better quality rip off the vinyl ANYWHERE!

This is a great chance for you to get your ears round some quality old tunes. Please help the community grow by ripping your own wax to MP3 and sharing your stuff with other like minded people to ensure we keep the old school alive!

Props to you all in advance for getting involved, peace, WAXER.

Continuing in this series this is number 4, out of 8 that I own.  A few decent loops on this one, Straight Out Of Compton beat, Soul To Soul’s Back to Life break, Bob James’ Mardi Gras & Impeach The President among others.

Tracklisting:

Here’s the 3rd installment of the Breaks, Beats & Scratches volumes… and by far the shittest yet!

I can’t help it, I got these for the scratches, but other than the 900 number loop and the scandalise loop, the rest is, well, plop. Even house lovers that know the “house” loops he made said they were gash.

Still, here it is… er, enjoy?

3rd installment of gash beats knocked up with no soul, I gotta admit, these albums were pony then and are equally as bad now!  I bought these back in the day purely for scratching purposes as they were the only ones out, but fuck me with a fish fork, the actual beats are dog shit, what was he thinking?  I gotta be honest, I can’t be arsed to write out the 50 scratches on the back, I did it on the last 2 and I’ve lost the will wityh this one, I hope it doesn’t spoil your enjoyment!

Anyway, enjoy!!!!

Flippin’ back through the crates to another slice of Simon Harris Wax.  This time volume 2 is up.  My personal favourite out of the first 4 that he released, this deffo had some decent cuts.  The “woo yeah” break from Lyn Collin’ “Think” makes an appearance, as does the break from Eric B & Rakim’s “Paid In Full”, Soul Searcher’s “Ashley’s Roach Clip”.

You can cop this from Rapidshare, link after the tracklist, make sure you grab volume 1 as well…

Yes yes y’all, che, che a check check, check 1,2, dipping back into 1987 here’s the link for a vinyl rip I did for the Def Momentum blog for a mush named MOLE… if you haven’t visited the blog yet I suggest you do so with great speed and dexterity as there is much dope hip hop to fill your walkmans with.  To keep it real you’ll obviously have to spend 4 and a half years recording it all to tape so you can listen to it with proper authenticity.>>>>>link after the image…

Now THAT'S DOPE... I had a cheapie from the market with orange earphones...

Download me now!

Over the coming weeks I’ll rip the other 7 I’ve got (to be honest this is a bit of a nostalgia trip as to be honest, they were fairly arse even in 1987!  Still, it was better to scratch aaaaahhhh and fresh! on this than on my fab 5 freddy 12!  Apologies for the pops crackes & jumps (and worn out bits)

Enjoy…….
