"79" - a mix of tracks released in 1979

Sigma · Post by **Sigma** » Mon Jul 25, 2011 8:39 pm

I posted this in M2C, but someone said I should also post it in here, so that's what I'm doing!

This is a mix of hip-hop tracks that were all released in 1979, although there may be some debate over the year of release of one or two of these songs. This is a proper mix, not just a compilation of tracks.

Don't expect pristine sound quality throughout!

I've listened to this a few times now - it's really well done. You should put together some mixes for the subsequent years.

Thanks a lot man, I really appreciate it.

I dunno whether I'd do the following few years justice. With this mix, the tunes were basically handed to me on a plate, cos the track listing was "every song from 79 I either had or could get". Obviously, with 80 onwards, the number of releases increased by a lot. I got into hip-hop in 82/83 so I could probably do a good mix of tracks from the early 80s, but I'm not too sure about doing another one from a specific year.

Here's a nice mix of 1983 tunes from a guy called DJ Scientist who runs Raphistory.net: -

It's only 28 minutes, but it's a good listen and it's a live set, rather than mine which was multitracked.
