Skratch Bastid & Sneaker Freaker present: The Starter Era – Dope Raps 1989-1993
Issue #22 of international kick-head bible Sneaker Freaker magazine features a 17-page spotlight on Starter athletic wear and how it changed the sports fashion game. To accompany the story, Skratch Bastid has made a mix featuring rap jams from Starter’s prime, 1989-1993, to be included with the magazine in physical form. Mixed and cut-up in Bastid’s signature style, it features classic & overlooked bangers from one of hip-hop’s golden eras, alongside some of the original tunes they sampled and exclusive remixes. You’ll know what’s going down from the intro.
Bastid will be premiering the mix live via ustream from http://www.skratchbastid.com on Monday October 10th at 8PM EST. Tune in to be the first to hear this new mix and ask Bastid questions, as well as earn the chance to win one of 5 prize packs, which include a physical copy of the magazine and Starter Era mix.
Earlier tonight I hosted a really fun (read: pizza, dancing, whiskey) uStream release (see the previous post) and gave away prizes to celebrate the release of my newest mix – Skratch Bastid & Sneaker Freaker present: The Starter Era – Dope Raps 1989-1993. This mix was a blast to make and it is my pleasure to share it with you! If you would like a physical copy, order the magazine at Sneaker Freaker dot com, but hurry up because it’s limited to 1000 copies. I think they have 30 left.
I honestly think this mix is more fun if you listen to it once through without knowing what is coming next, so I have the track listing on a separate page. The Surgeon General recommends that you listen to the mix before clicking on this page or it may be devastating to your ear and/or hazardous to your health. Got it? …listened to it? Okay. Go check the track list out.
Thank you, as always, for listening. If you enjoy this one, you should definitely check out The Entertainer mix.
Oh yeah, and here is the archived uStream show over here.
