j3 presents: “The Christmas Sweater Mix”
06-Dec-08from here:
I was going to wait until I had more time…like next year. But turns out that I was just too anxious to hang on to this material for another year. So, I present to you a gift much bigger and better than any year-end list that I could possibly assimilate (although, I’m still considering doing that). It features everyone from Lawrence Welk to Eazy E, Paul McCartney to Atmosphere with, of course, a few treats in between. And, because not all of my friends believe that all words are equal, I edited it with Hanna Barbera sound effects so you’ll feel more comfortable playing it around your parentals. Tis the season for alot of things, but certainly not the season for rampant expletives. It just bums some people out. Yes, I edited Eazy E. Love me or hate me, it took about two hours to edit that song alone. Hope it’s worth the wait. De La Mix Vol. 2 is gonna need a little more time. At this point, it’s next year. Anyhow, here’s the tracklisting on the Christmas Sweater Mix.

I’m proud to present to you, the latest installment in a sequence of mixes exploring the musical contexts of classic hip hop recordings by mixing them in with the original samples: Del tha Funkee Homosapien’s I Wish My Brother George Was Here from 1991. While AllMusic writes about Del’s debut, “Del helped lay the foundation for what would become California’s thriving underground scene with his seminal debut, I Wish My Brother George Was Here…tak(ing) the Parliament/Funkadelic-derived G-funk sound popularized by NWA and spins it into exciting new directions, replacing gangsta rap’s nihilism with a healthy sense of the absurd…Del has accomplished much since the release of Brother George…but nothing he’s done since has quite matched the charm, fun, and sheer exuberance of his stellar debut.” Adversely, Wikipedia claims, “As a whole, the hip-hop community had mixed feelings about I.W.M.B.G.W.H. Some felt it to be just too corny, while others thought it the ‘flyest shit out there’. Del, not pleased with the album himself, took matters into his own hands.” Regardless, I’ve always considered it a classic at it has cemented itself deep in the hearts of both funketeers and hip hop heads over the last two decades.

j3 presents “Music for Office Parties”
21-Oct-08from here:
Per Owen’s request, here’s a little getdown mix as we go into the holiday season (I’ve got a Christmas mix on deck, but it’s a ton of material) to use at your office party. Office parties can be such a drag, man. Funny how people, at office parties, do everything they can to not talk business and then find out that they really can’t talk about anything else intelligently. Well, this mix fills in those awkward silences and pauses between discussions of how some cat’s bowel movements stink up the whole west side of the building. Remember, though, it’s an office party and these are your co-workers so watch those hands. You might have Human Resources at your desk come Monday
