HIQI June. 13, 2011 Pt. 1

HIQI June. 13, 2011 Pt. 2

This past Monday we had a very special guest drop by the studio, the one & only Jazzy Jay! Special thanks to our good friend Eric Orr (pictured above) who hooked the whole thing up. What an honour!

Jazzy had been in Auckland for a couple of shows and was happy just to hang out and chat, but we weren’t gonna have that, after all, it’s not every day we have one of the founding fathers of Hip Hop in the studio. So after a bit of gentle encouragement, we managed to talk Jazzy into dropping an impromptu guest mix on us! It’s a wild ride through many styles, as you’d expect from an originator like Jazzy.

We hope you enjoy it! Also note: the mix starts half way through part 1, and runs most of the way through part 2.
(Our producer Reggie B wasn’t able to track down all the labels on Jazzy’s mix, but did a great job to even keep up with his breakneck speed! Almost 50 tracks in 50 minutes!)

HIT IT!

HIQI June. 6, 2011 Pt. 1

HIQI June. 6, 2011 Pt. 2

Welcome. It’s been a while since we’ve had a tailor made guest mix for the show, so it’s a great honour to host a very special mix this week from the one & only Christopher Tubbs of Heads Down & Untracked Records.
Tubbs is a man of many talents, and has been carving out a niche for himself as the voice of proper leftfield/disco/house/call-it-what-you want (!) on the excellent Heads Down blog site, which has hosted great in depth interviews with the likes of Ashley Beedle, The Idjut Boys, Robert Owens and many more.
He also signed my very first solo Frank Booker record for Untracked, so one of us owes the other a drink, I’m not sure who though!
His mix is uninterrupted on part two of the show, no chat, just pure heat! Part one features a 20 minute tribute to the late, great Gil Scott Heron (RIP) and an interview with Recloose, live from Detroit at 2.30AM local time. Ooof!
Enjoy. Hit It!
