Diplo vs. SantoGold - Top Ranking (HTML→MP3)

This is kinda like - Piracy funds Terrorism volume 2. Rather than MIA (who is no longer workin' Diplo's microphone) this time out SantoGold hops on board. If you really dig it you can buy a CD version (check the source site link). Tons of styles and oodles of yet to be released Santo remixes crop up in this banging summertime mixtape.

K-Salaam & Beatnick - NY is Burning Street-tape (HTML→MP3)

Yo man you want a hit of this shit? Some finely ground up dancehall leaf sprinkled over some sticky-icky hip-hop. Wow this mix totally reminds me of those 90s NYC hiphop tapes that sample all of the classics jam and mix n blend em together with some new shit - giving the whole tape a historical classic feel. K-Salaam and Beatnick have a new record dropping this summer (you wont forget that thanks to the everpresent voice drops) with some serious heavy hitters rocking the mic (Mos Def, Sizzla, Damian Marley, Collie Budz and others). Link is to Sharebee so you choose your fave fileshare site.

The Heatwave - Rowdy Bashment (MP3)

NSFW (*not safe for wifey) - this mix is like that trashy jump-off you had back in the day. But that freaky shit is exactly what gets you moving in those long forgotten regions. Dancehall King Heatwave grinds on the ample backside of this mix with all of his might. Throwing down a mighty 68 minutes of all of the rowdiest dancehall tracks to come out of Jamaica in the past year.

Genres: dancehall, dirty, reggae, sexytime

La Ola De Calor - Blogariddims 23 (MP3)

A pinch of latin flavor heats up this badass set from the UK's Heatwave DJs (La Ola de Calor). And don't worry it is not a Reggaeton only mix! That seems to be the fatal flaw to most reggaeton/dancehall DJs. Last time I was in Puerto Rico it was great to hear all kinds of Reggaeton pumping out of every store, car, bar, etc. But then on Day 5 it started to take on the form of torture! Every song has the exact same "bum badum bup" beat! Well this is NOT the case in this dope mix. Heatwave takes us all around the latin reggae landscape with cuts from Ini Kamoze en espanol to the definition of contemporary Reggaeton Pitbull. A must listen!

Genres: dancehall, latin, reggae, reggaeton

Nron - Pure Fire Mix (MP3)

Nron, yes that N-Ron who dropped that Thundersound mix a while back - has returned with a new mix! And this one is a murderer! Check out the mp3 sample linked up here. And then make your way over to the nice folks at broklynbeats and purchase a CD copy to blow the bottom out of your car system! While this mix up of dancehall, crunk, breakcore, etc. certainly rocks in mp3 it cannot compare to a high end CD sound system blasting this as you bomb down the highway. Wickedness x 3!

Nick Catchdubs - Fader Summer Jams Mix (MP3)

Catchdubs throws together a sweet mix that'll catch you up to what is killing it in NYC right now. FADER mag snuck up on us and all of a sudden drops the PodBomb with a PDF magazine and then they are starting to roll with a regular podcast. Oh shit! This kinda sucks...

Try to drop science on your cousin from Montana and he's mouthin' the words to the first verse. What?!?!

Wayneandwax - Reggaeton "Dem Bow" mix (MP3)

Back in the 90's Armand van Helden's remix of Tori Amos' "Prof. Widow" can be seen as the DNA of Speed Garage (which led to today's Grime/dubstep/etc). The Winstons "Amen" break was the backbone to the sound of drum and bass. And now Shabba Ranks "Dem Bow" riddim (which was a refix to begin with) can be cited as the cornerstone of Reggaeton as we know it. Check out this mix citing the impact through dancehall and "reggae-tawn" of the Dem Bow riddim. A fascinating listen as well as a groovy set filled with some floorfilling PR jams.

Genres: dancehall, reggae, reggaeton
