TAPES

Madame Lynx - "Untitled" (Toronto, ON)

This tape featured an assortment of hard house and fast breaks. First side

was pretty generic, but I really got into it by the end of the second side.

Madame Lynx played some solid breaks at high speed. Not Bad. (DR)

 

Jason Palma & Issac S. - "Refiltered Flavours" (Toronto, ON)

Two great DJ's, one great tape. First side mixed by Jason Palma brings you

some groovy house tracks with a bit of vocals. Issac S. rocks the second

side with some tracks that are a little more upbeat. These two make a good

team, hope to see more collaborations from these two. (DR)

 

Myka - "Stomp 2" (Toronto, ON)

Myka has established himself as a brilliant technical mixer, and he has the

tracks to back him up. Although this tape is smooth from start to finish,

it just doesn't have the same energy that he usually exudes in his previous

tapes and live sets. (DR)

 

The Stickmen - "The Stickmen, Vol. 1" (Toronto, ON)

Finally, the long awaited mixed tape by internationally renowned producers/

remixers/ DJ's: The Stickmen! You'd think this tape was just a

promotional tool for their own tracks... Wrong. The guys mix it up just as

they would in their live performances! The best of the best. A definite

must for any house music lover. (DR)

 

DJ Drip - "Lighta" (Toronto, ON)

Jungle DJ Drip mixes up a great tape with the best of the old school and

the newest of the new. Good tape, good scratching. The only thing that

needs work is the timing of the mixes, but that will come with experience.

I see good things in the future for DJ Drip. (DR)

 

 

Taro - "Rock & Roll High School" (Calgary, AB)

There's nothing I like more than a well planned, well executed tape. It's

hard to classify this style, though. Big Beat? Breaks? Whatever it is,

it's good. Tracks by Fatboy Slim, Cold Cut, and Lionrock to name a few,

all put together very well. Cool rock & roll references throughout the

tape makes this on an interesting one to listen to. (DR)

 

DJ Flex - "Ba Da Boom" (New York, NY)

Hard house DJ Flex releases a greatly improved tape from the last one we

got. Hard and funky from beginning to end. Definitely one of the better

one's of the month. (DR)

 

Xotec - "Volume 22" (Buffalo, NY)

Another great tape! Wicked and funky progressive with a flavouring of

breaks, well mixed for a 'live' tape. Great mix of new tracks, with some

floor moving classics. Great! (DR)
