DJ JS-1 "SoundWaves: Cold Cutz Remixes 2" (Mixtape, 2010)


"In the mid 90's myself and DJ Spinbad did the "Cold Cutz Remixes" mixtape. We made that mixtape on broken 4-track-cassette recorders. We remixed tons of acapellas, and every song on the mixtape was an exclusive blend we did using turntables only. We re-scratched the song hooks, added sound fx, did some scratch interludes and really set the bar high for mixtape production. To date, that mixtape has reached tens of thousands of people and is considered one of the best mixtapes of all-time. This new mix was not supposed to be the specific part 2 to that mix, but it's done in a similar way and it is the unofficial part 2. There are ONLY acapella remixes on this new mix as well. A mix like this is completely opposite of many lazy DJs' mixes that let songs play all the way and talk or play effects in between every track. This involves so much more, and is so much more fun to make. I used hundreds of different beats and acapellas. Let's keep the pressure on all these horrible DJs out there and try to keep some respect, honor, dignity and skills to the mixtape legacy." Listen...
