In the next few months, I’ll be hooking you up with some exclusive mixes from some DJ’s that I love.  From breaks to house and everything in between, these mixes are ones you can only find here.  They are recorded live in my humble little studio and feature DJ’s that are guests on my on-line mix show (more info about that later) and are major players in the underground music scene here in Dallas.

The first installment comes from my good friend Polyx.  He has been a rising force in the underground dance scene for quite a few years and is still one of the few carrying the breakbeat torch.  He loves his beats progressive and funky and this mix is a testament to his sound.  I can truly say that no one else can imitate his style; this brother impresses me every time he hits the decks.  So enjoy and check out his Facebook and Soundcloud pages for more info and downloadable mixes.

Break This – Polyx

Being a child of the early 1990′s rave movement, there are so many classic tunes to choose from.  Obvious tracks like “Dominator” by Human Resource and “Everybody In The Place” by Prodigy have been remixed to death due to their legendary appeal.  I have chosen to take a different route and post up some tunes I think have not been remixed due to the untouchable status they have achieved.

First up is one of my favorites of the era.  Released in 1990, this collaboration between future Freestylers member Aston Harvey and Jason Tunbridge is a full on, funky scratch-fest filled with enough bass to make you sterile. Originally released on the B-side to “Don’t Hold Back” on the Tribal Bass label, this one still makes the bins quake.

Bus’ It (It’s Time To Get Bzy) – Blapps Posse

This next track needs very little introduction.  Included on the infamous “Live at the Brain” EP, it was recorded, ummmm, live at the Brain Club in London in 1990.  ”Massif” was the track and Paul Chivers was the mastermind behind this classic, with a little help from Mixmaster Morris.  I’m on planet E!!!!!
