Dj Matman - 7" Mix Vol.1

7" Mix Vol. 1 by Dj Matman on Mixcloud

After rocking a couple of sets playing exclusively 7" vinyl at their 'Digga Please' parties, DJs Shepdog (Nice Up) and Kombine (Jazz Cafe) officially inducted me into the crew - so it's only right I represent with a mix based on my recent live set for them!

Expect pure block party vibes from this one: Classic Hip Hop laced with Soul, Funk, Disco, B-Boy breaks, Reggae/Dancehall and 90's RNB, No FX, no multitracking, just a crate of crackly 45s mixed, scratched & juggled (with a couple of sneaky edits so you don't have to hear my records skip!).

The cover image is composed of photos of every record played, displayed in the order they appear in the mix - get a closer look at it HERE

There's plenty more where this came from so look out for volume 2!
