Music of the moment

Want to know what’s shaking the walls here at tossr towers? No? Well I’ll tell you anyway; at the moment I’m rocking a triple-whammy of free mixtapes.

The first is The Root Down Live! Pt. 1 mixed by Heavy Stylus, a 69-minute blend of funk/soul/hip-hop/etc. representing the sound of local (to me) club night Root Down.

Secondly, we have Siliconbeat’s The Breaks Are Here which is 69 minutes of breakbeat fury.

Finally, there’s Mash Up Ting mixed by Firestar, which throws together a bunch of dancehall-inspired tracks from assorted genres over the course of 57, encompassing breaks, garage (including a nice selection of 4×4 speed garage — it’s like 1998 never went away!) and drum & bass.

Pithy one-line comment to round off the blog post? Not this time!

    Hey - That’s my mix you’re talking about! How did you find out about it?

    If I remember rightly I think someone posted a link to the Rootdown site at Cook’d and Bomb’d (the internet’s premier Chris Morris-hating Chris Morris fansite). I’ll find you a link… here you go!

    I really should get myself along to Root Down sometime, what with me living in Exeter and all…
