"Karriem Riggins, hip-hop producer. The list of artists he's produced for and collaborated with read like a who's who of our favorite hip-hop artists over the last decade.
We're releasing a hip-hop album of Karriem's this fall called Alone Together, but before we get to that we're looking back at some of his best productions and collaborations with others.
San Francisco's DJ Theory hits us with this great Moombah mix featuring two original tracks of his own as well as music from Major Lazer, Bro Safari, Simian Mobile Disco and more. Perfect for these sunny Summer days. Listen and download below!
" Warm winter we're having, huh? Here's an upbeat and funky (duh!) mix to keep you dancin' as we turn the corner to spring. It's a collection of some tunes I'm feeling, plus a smattering of my own recent productions and a sneak peak of some original tracks I have in the works!
Every so often I have to lay claim to my crown as the funkiest dude on Fool's Gold, and this mix should do the trick. And Treasure Fingers any time you want to throw down to try and take my spot, get at me! Watch the throne! " - Sammy Bananas

" 5 years deep, the kid Hudson Mohawke returns with the definitive soundtrack to Valentines. Look, cancel that reservation. Put the money into good pizza and champagne. You’re getting this shit for free so buy your spiritual counterpoint something: the Heathers DVD. A single rose. Some salted caramels. Whatever. You got all the other magic you need right here. And if you’re alone tonight that’s okay; being into shit like this you’re gonna be fine. Trust us. Buy yourself those caramels. Get naked enough. Let a lil Mo get inside you… Happy Valentines everybody. " - LuckyMe
Earlier last week Questlove of the legendary Roots crew took to the Hot 97 studios to play a gem filled tribute mix to the late great J Dilla. For those of you that don't know, Questo and Jay Dee were very good friends and have worked together numerous times therefore it's only right that he took some time to do this. The mix is over an hour long filled with classics and original samples along with some good conversation and live calls. Listen and download below!
Dj Sabo brings us this really fresh "Moobahton Mix" he recently recorded in Berlin. If you love moombah you really gotta peep this one. Its very chilled and laid back, soulful, if you will. If you dont know what's good with moombah yet you gotta hop on the bandwagon! Listen and download below. Enjoy! Download: Dj Sabo- Berlin Moombahton Mix
Before a crazy successful 2011, and before his amazing self titled debut album, SBTRKT was but a humble London DJ producing underground bass popin', instrumentals. One of those being "Atomic Peace". Created in 2009, this track's only other venture onto the airwaves was when it was featured in SBTRKT's XFM mix. Ladies and Gentlemen "Atomic Peace"
Hailing from Toronto are the duo consisting of DC & Hooks who together form Zeds Dead, Canadian dub Legends. I gave ya'll a filthy mix by them this summer but they certainly break some new ground on this one. The BBC Radio 1 mix is made up of several different styles and not just dub. Got some jungle, some electro, some filthy bass and more. Blast this and enjoy kids. - Sabes Download: Zeds Dead- Rob Da Bank Mix For BBC Radio 1
Here's a laid back mix by Dirty South Joe & Flufftronix which they recorded during Philadelphia's Mad Decent Block Party. When i say laid back, I'm referring solely to the vocals cause this shit comes with some bass. Keep your ears open to that Ali Love / Alvin Risk track cause its a whole new level of craziness. Enjoy! - Sabes
The range and variety of different artists, regardless of genre and time period, that the late great J Dilla was able to inspire is still unbelievable to me. In 2006 DJ Mehdi paid homage to Jay Dee through this mix entitled Loukoums which was captivated by Dilla's Donuts. The mix was a limited release amongst friends. Earlier today, in light of Mehdi's tragic passing, Busy P decided it was time to share it with the world.
" Based on the DONUTS album concept, these are demos, out-takes and unreleased gems from various records I worked on before and during the making of LUCKY BOY, my next album. Stuff comes from MEGALOPOLIS, 113 DEGRES and SHEITAN soundtrack mainly, but some is older too. Hope you enjoy these rough mixes and un-polished sounds, as I pay hommage to 'one of the greatest minds to ever make beats,' Mr James Yancey, better known as JAY DEE, also know as DILLA. " - Mehdi, 2006
I never got a chance to grab the first Drankenstein mix but after about 30 seconds into this one, I went back and grabbed it. There's nothing more amazing then dirty southern rap mixed over filthy trance beats which is exactly what goes down in this mix.
While waiting for his new single 'No Sleep' to come out, Dj Will Eastman has dropped a free mix on Plant Music Records and it is ill! Check the track listing after the jump and some more cool info!
After releasing his debut beat tape Retro Lyrics earlier this year, my man Galus is back with a diggers dream mix of a range of European sounds from the 60's-80's featuring music from various genres. Anyone thats wanted to go to Europe to explore and digg for new sounds, definitely check out this worldly mix!
"Diggin Europe: The Mission 60'-80'” mix is a collage of European recordings dating from 1960-1980, oscillating between such genres as Jazz, Big Beat, Funk, Electronic, Psychedelic and Rock music. Unlike two previous mixes containing some recordings of Polish artists signed with Muza Polskie Nagrania and Pronit, this one joins musical pieces of European artists from Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Germany, Russia, Romania, Portugal, France. The 68 pieces used in the mix were carefully selected out of nearly one thousand vinyl records released in the Old Continent over the decades. The idea behind “Diggin Europe: The Mission 60'-80'” is to show the identity of European music dating from the developmentally significant and simply the best times for the music itself.
