Buy used from: $7.69 |
 | Document II by DJ Andy Smith
Buy used from: $3.90 Falls more under the funky b-boy hip-hop house scene, but an incredible mix by Portishead's beatmaster, who, since this release, is making a name for himself among the top modern-day mixers.

 | DJ-Kicks: The Black Album by Rockers Hi-Fi
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $3.22 Booah! Farda P is a stud on the mic.

 | Renaissance 3D by Tom Middleton
Buy new: $21.98 / Used from: $12.99 Anything this man produces & mixes & remixes is unparalleled. CD1-club mix, CD2-studio remixes, CD3-home mix; 3 of my favorite Tom discs I own.

 | Anarchy in the USA by DeeJay Punk-Roc
Buy used from: $0.01 Anarchy, which this album falls nothing short of, never sounded so hip and worthy of adoration. Synths in the mix sometimes resemble those of tech house (absolutely nothing wrong with that to me) and, as Punk-Roc fans will be happy to learn, the breaks are more hard-hittin than ever.
Fast cuts, quick scratches, progression, beats for dancing.. a good hip-hop vibe very suitable for clubbing.

 | Snowboarding in Argentina by Swayzak
Buy used from: $5.00 I'm not sure how I first heard Swayzak, but sure glad I did. This album & Himawari are money, with this album being the duo's (Swayzak's) debut back in the day (1998, holds up to the time though). Some good diversity here difficult to categorize. Housey, dubby, sorta jazzy, nothing too technical.. just good clean fun. Good stuff to listen to with headphones or while driving.

 | Buzzin' Fly Volume 2 by Ben Watt
Buy used from: $0.71 |
 | Carboot Soul by Nightmares on Wax
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $7.64 Certain to turn hip-hop heads, however George ministers soo much more than instrumental hip-hop. Uniqueness difficult to categorize.. a trip-hop flavor with jazzy-overturns & chilled-out-loungy house? Whatever it is, NoW got it going on & has easily become a favorite listen.

 | Journeys By DJ: Desert Island Mix by Gilles Peterson
Buy used from: $24.66 This album truly is a journey. Soul, funk, jazz, dub and a groovy-as-mark-murphy-at-dingwalls electronic backdrop. Gilles is a mastermind behind the tables.. proving it with this scrumptious mix.

 | 24th Street Sounds by Miguel Migs
Buy used from: $16.71 |
 | Live Sessions by Bonobo
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $5.93 I enjoy most of Bonobo's work, but this EP is just so cool. Take some of his finer tracks off Dial M For Monkey & Animal Magic, and put out live versions.. as simple as that, and it works. Instrumental downtempo greatness.. with a Four Tet-served bonus.

 | Selection 2 by More Rockers
Buy used from: $5.95 Bass-rocking jungle dub at its finest, brought to you by former Smith & Mighty and Massive Attack mischiefs.
|
 | Om: Miami 2007 by Various Artists
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $3.52 Still Rob G digs Om's extensive & incredibly talented library to compile, in my opinion, the most polished & funnest house mix of '07.
Chuck Love, DJ Fluid, Fred Everything, a rare Bassnectar remix and even Om's own hip-hop-pack-leaders Zeph & Azeem; this mix will get you moving.

 | Sounds from the Thievery Hi-Fi by Thievery Corporation

It's all here.. mid-tempo DnB, catchy bossa nova, reggae, acid jazz, dubby basslines; the finest domestic trip-hop Americans will find. Perfect for solo ventures or impressing friends & fam on any occasion.

 | Diz: From Home with Love by DJ Diz
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $0.45 Discovered this 2-disc gem at a San Fran Virgin Records' listening station entitled "House." Disc 2 is the mixed version of Disc 1. I've literally cleared the furniture out of my upstairs duplex living room and raged it with friends to this album... No, folks downstairs were gone for the weekend :)
