Beatstreet – Halloween Mix

October 31, 2008
trick or treat_200 by you.
Beatstreet – Halloween Mix 2008


Here’s another one to add to all the Halloween DJ mixes and Thriller remixes already out in blog world. Beatstreet Records (Vancity) breaks us off with an update of their Halloween mix for 2008. I’m guessing this one is by Avi Shack but it didn’t say who made the mix. Avi Shack has been a staple in both Vancouver’s record/vinyl scene as well it’s campus/community radio scene. If you ever get a chance you should check out These Are The Breaks (Fridays 12noon-1pm) on CiTR 101.9 FM. 

Back when Get Up Get Down first started (then at Tokyo Lounge) Avi Shack was one of our resident DJs. Unfortunately due to family commitments and the booming record store he could no longer rock with us. He’s a super talented DJ with DEEP DEEP DEEP crates and has a killer record store to boot. Check out his store and his radio show if you haven’t already.

PS – Get Up Get Down resident U-Tern works at Beatstreet too
PPS – was that a trick or a treat in the picture??

Viva La Hova, OJayZis, G-r-e-y Album – Jay-Z Triple Play

October 31, 2008

viva la hova front_400 by you.
viva la hova back_400 by you.

Colplay vs Jay-Z – Viva La Hova
Bonus: Oasis vs Jay-Z – O-Jay-Zis
And 1: Beatles vs Jay-Z – The Grey Album

“My name is HOV (HOV!) / Cold-to-the-Play-Z” (thank you, that was freebee)

Truth be told I’m not a big Coldplay nor Jay-Z fan. I know. I remember I was working in campus/community radio when Coldplay first broke onto the scene. Everyone knew they were gonna be huge but no one realized that they’d make the jump so quickly, and rather successfully, from the c/c sector (always hated that reference) to the mainstream one. And today, 10 years after their debut, it’s finally OK for hip hop fans to publicly express love for Coldplay.

I don’t know what it is about Jay-Z that seems to make him the cornerstone of these “mash-up” albums but this is the third remix album that pits him against the very best in rock. Producers and DJs alike use his commercial reach, mass appeal, and crossover audience to create a statement by pairing him against an artist of equivalent stature. Even with “Viva La Hova”, “O-Jay-Zis”, and of course “The Grey Album” all centred around this Brooklyn MC, each has left it`s own unique mark.

Whether you love or hate either camp, when a project such as this matches heavyweights from different divisions you can’t help but be curious how it’s going down. So as a special treat here are all 3 projects in case you`re mising any of them. Go get them all above.
