This is the second half of the Road Pops for the week, plus the regular Fat Beat Diet, seeing as both shows flowed right into one another this week.

I’ve fascinated by the intersection of two songs. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Timing is important: ride the mix a little too long and you run the risk of ruining the mix because of song changes, not to mention the mix running away from you. I tend to like pushing my luck with the length of my mixes, but it came back to bite me in the ass a few times this week.

A lot of DJing is experimentation, throwing a couple things together and seeing if you like the result. Now that I’m pretty much retired from the DJ game, I don’t get the chance to experiment a lot outside of the show. The downside for you listeners being of course that you get to listen to me miss a few mixes here and there as I try out new mixes. Hopefully it doesn’t detract too much from your enjoyment of the show.

1993 was an absolutely ridiculous year for hip hop. So, this last week we celebrated the release of A Tribe Called Quest’s Midnight Maurauders and Wu Tang Clan’s Enter the 36 Chambers. After that more musical goodness. Enjoy.
