DJ Knife - Computer Love

The main man DJ Knife is back at it yet AGAIN with a new mix, Computer Love. This one hipped me to some shit I was definitely not up on -

In his own words ...

Hey folks! Here's my latest compilation, a 30 minute live-mix of 8-bit, chiptune and videogame inspired music. I recorded this after reading a post by Boston writer Chris Faraone on hip hop blog jtts.com. There's a lot of local love on this mix, from hip hop heavyweights Big Shug and Statik Selektah, to the Cambridge-based 8-bit duo Br1ght Pr1mate, to Somerville-based video game-mashup producer Team-Teamwork. Shout out to Will C for mastering (and having a DVD of The Wizard handy) and Alfredo Rico-D for the artwork. Enjoy! (www.djknife.com).

DJ Knife Presents ... The Best Of Chainsaw Dubstep

The man DJ Knife is back in record time with a brand new mix, The Best of Chainsaw Dubstep. He came through C's Section the other night and together we discovered what has to be one of the oddest commercials I've ever seen -

Good times as always. Here's the mix!

And here's the run down, straight from Knife...

WARNING: If you don't already like dubstep, don't waste your time 
listening to this. This release is the result of spinning Top 40 for for far too long. It's a 30 minute, live mix of some of the most aggressive, chainsaw-sawing-through-your-head dubstep tracks I know, with a few non-dubstep joints to break up the monotony. Shout outs to Will C. for mastering and Alfrizzy for the artwork. Enjoy! (www.djknife.com)

DJ Knife Presents: Strange Brew

Knife, one of Boston's best DJs (there's been many fun nights at the Good Life when he's the man in the booth), has just released his latest offering to the world… Strange Brew! I had the pleasure of meeting up with the man himself two nights ago to offer a second set of ears in the mastering process. It was a good time! At the tail end of the night, we still knew the mix needed an intro. Previously, Knife had mentioned to me that he was thinking of using Cream's Strange Brew, so I looped that up and we threw a couple of drops over the beat. Then we paired what we slapped together with a vintage beer commercial we found hilarious. A lot of "two fist" mentions that sounded a lot funnier back to back to back. You'll see what I mean…

At the very beginning of the mix, listen to what Prince Paul is saying. The drop was only recorded a couple of years back, but you can hear Paul explaining to Knife that he's never seen a phone that could record sound too. Cliche statement here, but damn, technology moves fast!

Check out Strange Brew here -



Gotta love how he sets it off cutting up Michael Penn!
