DJ Screw will go down in history as the godfather of chopped and screwed music. He singlehandedly created a genre of music with such a following and presence that it continues to thrive and develop as a force in deep south hip hop culture long after his passing. This is just one in a collection of hundreds of mixtapes Screw released through his label, Screwed Up Records & Tapes. Rest in peace, DJ Screw.

2562 - Unbalance (2009)



Untitled 1:28
Flashback 4:40
Lost 4:21
Like A Dream 4:21
Dinosaur 5:01
Unbalance 7:21
Superflight 7:41
Yes/No 6:08
Who Are You Fooling? 6:27
Narita 5:08
Love In Outer Space 4:57
Escape Velocity 6:08

I've posted work from Dutch artist, 2562, in the past, but I have to say, this completely blew me away. This is 2562's most recent full length album and, I'm ashamed to say that, this came out in 2009 and I went months without posting it. Similar to his album Aerial, this is a style of music that's very drum heavy, offbeat, repetitive, and glitchy at times. Be sure to listen to track 5, 'Dinosaur'.

Lindstrøm - Where You Go I Go Too (2008)



  1. "Where You Go I Go Too" – 28:58
  2. "Grand Ideas" – 10:10
  3. "The Long Way Home" – 15:58
Norwegian electronic artist, Lindstrøm, put together this space-disco-esque album in 2008 on the Norwegian label, Smalltown Supersound, and it was almost instantly received well by critics. This album walks the line between ambient and dance that is very hard to put into words. All I can say is that it's good. Really damn good.

Queens of the Stone Age - Rated R (2000)



1. Feel Good Hit of the Summer 2:43
2. The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret 3:36
3. Leg of Lamb 2:48
4. Auto Pilot 4:01
5. Better Living through Chemistry 5:49

8. In the Fade 4:25
9. Tension Head 2:52
10. Lightning Song 2:07
11. I Think I Lost My Headache 8:40

Queens of the Stone Age is considered by some to be one of the greatest "Stoner Rock" bands around. On this album they recorded nearly every track about, what else, drugs and booze. No surprise there. As a kid I can remember hearing the first single, "The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret", late at night on New York's K-ROCK Radio and I knew they were doing big things. This album is trippy, this album is heavy, the lyrics are deep, and the melodies are entrancing. It's everything you could ever ask for in a rock album.

What's left to say about DJ Premier that hasn't already been said? He is the king. Arguably the best hip hop producer of all time, Premier's work with Gang Starr was legendary by itself, but he didn't stop there. He kept going... and going... and going. These tracks are some of the best beats he's ever put out and they're all instrumental for your enjoyment.

LCD Soundsystem - Live mix from The Trash (2007-02-15)



This is a disco house mix from James Murphy himself. Most of these tunes are old disco and house tracks from the 70's & 80's. It might sound lame, but this mix is definitely a good time. Unfortunately I lost the tracklist for this and can't find it anywhere online, so if you come across one please send it this way.

Relaunch

What's up, everyone. It's been a while. Actually, it's been so long that you probably won't find me on 63rd Street anymore, but those 8 miles of asphalt in West Philly definitely made their impression on me. So, sit back and get comfortable because we've got a lot of new tracks to talk about.

Caspa & Rusko - Rock Bottom



Rock bottom. After months and months of putting off updates, I felt 63rd Street Riddims had hit an all time low. Once you hit the bottom there's only room to go up. And we're gettin the fuck up. Relaunch, bitches.
