Been a while since I dropped a Hip-Hop joint, though this time I thought I'd come correct with the lyrical wickedness in the form of this big 115min 1993 special from Brooklyn based online Hip-Hop radio station : The Rub. DJ Ayres on the wheels of steel for this one. Check out the tracklisting and then get busy. Obviously all tracks featured are 1993 releases. No ad's and no DJ chat.

Put on y'er best dancing shoes and clear yourself some space for this one!! I've always been very keen on DJ sets that go for the proper club sound, and yeah the easier home listening stuff has it's place, but sometimes you wanna be 'avin it large in your front room too. And so if that sounds like you, then this really is yo shit right here! Recorded last year for the internet radio station Sumarai FM, though without any annoying ad's or running DJ commentary.

It has been a bloody age since I last put up a DJ mix, and I seeing as it has been so long I thought I quit messing about and throw down a mix that really is THE BUSINESS. Not only is it mixmaster supremo Erol Alkan as our selecta' (bo!) in session, but the mix is the actual original as recorded by Erol, and is not a shitty radio rip with Pete Tong talking over it and what have you. Clean as you like 2hr long banger.

If like me you tend to pass over on DJ mixes by artists unknown to you, then make this your one exception. I'm sure through all the dross there are a couple of diamonds out there, though the occassions are quite rare, and I'm not sure how I came into this mix, though it's an example of all that I've mentioned above - a f*ckin' banger basically. A f*ckin D&B banger at that. And it's put together by a pretty smokin' female too. Yes please!

Definitely enjoying this Chew the Fat mix that Foamo put together for, or indeed mixed live at, the club night of the same name : Chew The Fat. Dude drops the funk HARD! Seriously heavy on the rocking bassline dance steez, and I cannot recommend enough. The little dip into dubstep sits perfectly between this tight set of much fun party music.

Classic Sasha here folks. Dating back to 2008, this is a 76min snapshot of the mix master playing, as the title suggests, at Space in Ibiza. Now I love my Diplo, Optimo, Erol Alkan, Justice etc etc... party rocking DJ mixes as much as the next man, but I have to say that listening to this in the car on the way home at 2am last night was an absolute treat, and it's reminded me just how great this style of ultra smooth progressive trancey-ish dance can be.

Been waiting for a nice sunny day to put this Cut Copy mix up. Not sure what the weather's like where you are, but where I am it's just right for setting up the mood that I feel this collection of music plays very well too! Hope you enjoy.

Wimbledon posse you nah ready? Muswell Hill posse you nah ready? Hampton Court posse you nah ready? T.S.I.D posse you nah ready...?!** Bass exploration to the maximum with this mighty fine piece of dubstep action, as picked up by myself off of an Annie Mac Radio 1 show recently. F-R-E-S-H! 2009 is shaping up to be a bit of stormer for the Chase & Status lads, and that was after a blinder in 2008 too!

Pulled this old DJ Mag magazine covermount cd from 1999 for the rip treatment for you today. It's only a 25min blast, though is packed with some seriously rude 90's steez D&B bass, as well as the trademark scratch effects of these two DJ mix masters. And oh my... the sub bass on the last tune : Species. Murder!

I had a little rummage through my healthly collection of free magazine covermount mix cd's to see if I had any good classic albums that I could rip and share today. Unfortunately I haven't yet figured out how to rip a multi-tracked mix album into a single music file, so I am limited to what was actually released originally as a single track mix only. If anyone has any tips then please do take the time to point me in the right direction towards ripping tracked albums!!

Much thanks to the Better Never Than Late website for turning me on to this storming D&B mix by the talented DJ Noize! Originally hosted through the Drum & Bass Arena website, it did prove a major pain in the arse trying to actually get the download. Far too much admin involved!! So I've made things a little easier for any of you peeps wanting to get in on the action with a bit of Mediafire & Zshare linkage down below.

It's been a long time....            we shouldn't have left you..         without a dope to step to, step to, step to, step to... Yup, a quick little Timbaland rhyme to set things off, plus it really has been a while since we've seen a DJ Mix around these parts so lets just go wit da flow. Perhaps it's that Thursday feeling. You know weekend coming and all. Anyway, yes, DJ Mix.

Back to a DJ mix upload then. Nothing but the best from The Glimmers. Very much the style of DJ mix that I like to listen too, and much like the Optimo crew, their mixes always come correct with the freshness, even if the music does date back 5, 10, 15 or 20 years. Picked up in April of 2007 this was. Always going to battle with crediting the source, so apologies if anyone gets miffed. For those that didn't grab first time around then here you GO!

Time for another DJ mix. The weekend begins... Again this is following the previous Justice and Simian Mobile Disco uploads, which are still up and available.  Dating back little more than a year this one. And talk about timing! Just checking up on their Myspace page reveals that the duo are actually in LDN town this evening. Playing a Kitsuné party at Heaven I see.

Friday, that's my high (on life) day! Time to get the party started with another rocking dance mix! Much like my recent Justice DJ mix, this SMD special dates back a bit. 2005 to be exact. The usual mish mash mix up of all sounds, style's and samples for you to enjoy! Check out their Myspace page for upcoming DJ and Live dates! A fitting goodbye to October! Have a great weekend!

Tonight's post is a first for This Scene Is Dead. A DJ Mix! And one that comes from super hot production / DJ duo, Justice, no less!! Dates back to 2006 I believe, and unfortunately no tracklist is available. Do expect to see more DJ mix special edition uploads from this site as things progress! High 5's for everyone! (KD!) FYI - Justice are returning to the UK to do a DJ set at the newly opened London club "Matter," on the 25th of October. Enjoy!
