Back to Mine

What music would you choose for your own personal Back to Mine set?


Here is one I prepared earlier...

A while ago I decided to put together my own lil Back to Mine mix. No fancy mixing or fresh dubplates, instead its a collection of some cool tunes played one after the other. A proper mix tape just like I used to make back in they day, only I didnt have to press record on my tape player and hold it up to the radio to make it.


buckshot le fonque - breakfast at dennys
the roots - distortion to static
a tribe called quest - electric relaxation
maxi priest - close to you
james brown - big payback
craig mack - flava in ya ear rmx
pharcyde - runnin
portishead - strangers
prince - get off
stevie wonder - superstitious
rjd2 - smoke and mirrors
rob base + dj ez rock - it takes two
ice cube feat george clinton - bop gun
black eyed peas - secret song
de la soul - breakadawn
barry white - im gonna love you a little bit more
beatnuts - finger smoke
nas - one love
womack and womack - teardrops
n.e.r.d. - tape you
curtis mayfield - pusherman
big pun - im not a player
notorious big - kick in the door
jungle boogie - kool and the gang
eric b and rakim - paid in full

Some classic tunes on there!    Downloading...

it was definitely tough picking out the tunes, and there were loads that i left out... there isnt even any dnb on it...

i was tempted to do an all dnb or perhaps an all electronica one, unmixed so you can listen to the tunes individually from start to finish. got a few things that might not work on a dancefloor but are still very good tunes for home listening.

anyone else wanna list their back to mine selection?

Yeah! I'm compiling right now, but could take a while!    You're right, it is hard and there will be shitloads left out. I reckon you should go ahead and do your DnB & electronica ones. If the tunes are as good as the ones I'm listening to now I'll be down for a few more downloads.

I might have to do that in a bit with some of my favourite songs would be fucking random though.

i might be able to knock up a list, but all my tunes are in aus, im in the uk

Excuses, excuses! 

i love this thread, the old one was great. will think about one over the weekend

downloading the mix, again, its great!

If you're not mixing them, just use the internet to find them and something like ACID or Protools to join them in a continuous mix...

It's what the named DJs do!

ooh really? nice! might give it a go

Here's one I knocked up quickly. I'd like to refer to it as my Back To Mine For A Sesh!

Gil Scott Heron- The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
Bobby Womack- Across 110th Street
DJ Shadow- Organ Donor
Ultramagnetic MCs- Give The Drummer Some
interlude- Bill Hicks- Smoking
Dr Octagon- Bear Witness
Black Moon- I Gotcha Opin (rmx)
Poor Righteous Teachers- Here We Go Again
Mark Morrison- Return of the Mack
Michael Jackson- Billie Jean
Massive Attack- Risingson
interlude- Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas drug list
The Stranglers- Golden Brown
The Beatnuts- Do You Believe
Diamond D- I Went For Mine
Rush- Tom Sawyer
Hilltop Hoods- Left Foot, Right Foot
interlude- The Usual Suspects keyser soze
Heatwave- Ain't No Half Steppin'

But yeah, this is mostly an old-school hip hop flavoured mix of tunes (not mixed however). Doesn't even come close to scratching the surface of all the tunes I wanted to have in there. But it will do. For now...   
Anyone reckon they'd come back to mine? 
Btw, gotta agree with me on the fact that the Bobby Womack and Heatwave tracks are nuts!!!

Also, download link is below the bottom right hand of the MP3 information table once it loads. Zing!

i know a few of the tracks i want to put in the list do not exist on the internet, one especially has never been released and doesnt even have a name. got it on cd direct from the source and it hasnt surfaced anywhere else. i reckon i would probably struggle to find a few of the essentials i want to include online.

Ableton FTW. Makes shit so easy.


It was a good mix..

Hotness!!! Downloading now

Yep, used Ableton!    Wanna do a proper mix one of these days though. Maybe an Essential Mix?
