Vintage Crates Episode #32: Quater Of A Century With Js.One

Written by Js.One on . Posted in Podcast Episodes

Nova threw this pretty ill guestmix together in celebration of my birthday which is tomorrow. It’s pretty much a juxtaposition of scenic library melodies and some boogie, funk, and jazzy joints I’m feeling. I’d say it pretty accurately encapsulates some different aspects of my personality. Sort of feels like a short dialog-less film…definitely cool.

Next week we’re back to regularly scheduled programing w/ Episode #33: The Riddim Selector which is a collection of some of my favorite reggae riddims and the different tunes which came as a result of them. Also, be on the look out for new installments in the Forty Deuce & Legends Of The True-School Series which will be dropping soon!

I’m excited to present a new Vintage Crates mini-series! True-School Hip-Hop is undoubtedly my first music love. Without it, I probably never would’ve developed an interest in the wide range of music that preceded it which became used as breaks/samples. It focuses on the first years of recorded emcees (’79-’82). The first episode in this series is devoted to obscure bangers.  Stay tuned for vol.2 soon!
