Grandmaster Vic - July 94

When people start posting Grandmaster Vic tapes on their blog you know we just can't sit down and watch. So here's another exclusive tape by this legendary dj from Jamaica Queens. It has been said he revolutionised Hip-Hop by creating the blend, but for us he's a special kind of dj just by the way he mixes. He has this thing of giving little hints in his mix of what's comming next before blending the next song together. I would like to explain even more why I rate this dj so much but just listen and if you're a dj: take note!

Dj B.K. - For All U Mack Ass Niggers

Don't know much about this dj except that he's from the Midwest and not to be confused with german Dj BK. Very nice soul selection on this one. I guess pimp music used to be very different back in the days. But for all u old school Pimps and Macks, this one is for you..

dj V-Nutz - Soul Food Mixtape

Another one from our Chinese turntabelist. This one is more on a soul tip. Read more about him and his turntabelism lab here.

dj v-nuts - Funk Beat Amin Mixtape

Tapediggers is going worldwide. This time we go to China with dj v-nuts. With a funky mix with beats and sounds all over the place.

DJ Ryow & DJ Kenzo ‎– Vital Foundation

Here you got Dj Ryow teaming up with Dj Kenzo. Same thing as the previous mix, nice selection and clean mix.

Dj Ryow - Family V.2

Love my Japanese mixtapes. Often overlooked in the West but they have some dope spinners over there, epsecially when it comes to clean mixes and selections with the rarest goodies. This one is no exception.
Big up to all our Japanese headz out there, one love.

Dj LBR - Down with the King V.1

This time we present you LBR's first tape. A true classic. Great intro, some blends, medleys, a KRS One megamix and last but not least features from Zhane, Rahzel AND The Jungle Brothers. Just that!
1996 is the year.

Dj LBR - Down with the King V.2

LBR has featured on this blog with the Strickly Hip-Hop tape, this time it's more R&B flava with his tape 2. He started his career as a radio host and member of Double H dj Crew. He made some realy fat mixtapes. They stand out because of the amounts of blends and innovative mixes he did on his tapes which at the time in France was not so common. His tapes are all on point, with lots of blends, interludes, scratches ...He later became known for his work with AV8, being a superstar club dj, producer and so on. And he's a fan of Tapediggers. Aka the Man with the Bass.
His early tapes are all little jewels so make sure you cop this one.
