The Disco Scratch Forum has stated to attract some new members, one of which is a guy named BULLI.
He posted in the mixtape section about a mix he did, a tribute to Steinski.
If you are not familiar with Steinski, I suggest you check him out ( http://steinski.com ). He’s responsible, along with Double Dee, for the Lessons mixes. Originators of cut & paste and massively inspirational in the sampling and cut up worlds within Hip Hop. Artists like Art of Noise, Latin Rascals, Cold Cut & Mantronik all owe them credibility. In the Lesson Zed thread in the forum I have put a link to the Solid Steel Podcast which featured a lengthy interview with Double Dee & Steinski, breaking down their experiences when making the Lessons mixes and make for very interesting reading. The thread is here
So onto Bulli’s mix, it was really refreshing to hear someone putting this much effort in to a mix, especially as they are from Blighty. I’m sure you’ll agree the mix is Stupid Fresh, check it out and get in the forum to discuss it! Bulli makes a lot of music and you can check him out here. Big up to Bulli for the mix and I look forward to putting some more up soon.
ENJOY…

First rip of about 4 mixtapes I have from Maf, original member of Infamous Rap Crew… this guy was brought up on Hip Hop and always had that in his blood. He used this in his sonic arsenal to bring mixtapes exploting beats, sound bites and other genres I might otherwise not have bothered to check out… This mix was done with only a pair of 1200s and a tape deck around 1992, so RESPECT THE CRAFT!!! Bigup Maf, wherever you are now mate, love ya and thanks for opening my mind.
This mix features so many musical moments it’ll have you saying “Where do I know that from”?! Maf’s a lover of Latin Rascals, Coldcut, J Saul Kane, Barry Adamson and many more… he knows his onions when it comes to off the hook films and documentaries too… before youtube, this guy had shelves of mad documentaries and spoken word stuff.
The mix got it’s name as there is a section where Matt uses the Death Star Assault audio from Star Wars and overlays a bad arse Amen tune over it, and I dunno how, he must have used a stopwatch or something, as there was no timestretching or anything going on, just 2 turntables, he’s managed to get it so that when characters say certain lines it coincides with drops in the music, and I relistened to the mix today and it had my blood racing and my long bony self dancing stupidly at work! I dunno if Matt ever named his mixes, but this is what I decided to call it, hence Def Star Assault.
Hope you enjoy it, if you do, please leave a comment, peace!

I went to Battle Of The Year in Germany in 1996 with Big Jim & Panoramix from the OPM crew, meeting along the way some old faces like Aroe & Born To Rock, plus some new ones, like Disorda & Trix (well, new old ones!)
Me and Jim did a mixtape which we took to battle of the year to sell. It was called “So Much Class” and had a megamix on the A side of old hip hop and the flip had all new cuts. I used a 4 track recorder and my Amiga to knock it up.. it was pretty dope actually… Jim supplied all the vinyl for the tape and I knocked the mix up.
Here’s the cover:
Well.. the problem is… I don’t have the tape anymore, and neither does Jim. In fact the only person I know who definitely has a copy is Kilo from the SIN Cru, who bought one and used the mix on a graf Video he was doing at the time. SO you ask… what’s the point of this post? Well, I’m asking if anyone that comes on DS has either got a copy of this tape, or knows someone that does, cos I’d like to rip it to MP3 and share it.
If you can help, either add a comment to this post or drop me an e-mail, thediscoscratch@gmail.com
Thanks all, and here’s a beat I made back in the day (around ’98) just for the hell of it, from an EP I did for my own label, WaxWorx Records, the Symbiosis EP… this cut’s called Anything IS Possible (Instrumental). 5 thou!
