about

ABOUT THIS REMIXTAPE:

Ten years ago I put together a ‘remixtape’ as a follow up of sorts to ‘The Diary’ (at the time my most popular mixtape by a country mile). The concept expands on the chronology theme of the original, this time concentrating on trends in production: one iconic track from each year between 1989 and 2009, remixed in tribute to the popular production styles of the original year of release, from the James Brown influenced style of the late 80s and the jazz inflected styles of the early 90s to the unique sounds of producers Buckwild, Jay Dee, DJ Premier and others. For this 10th Anniversary expanded edition I’ve added ten additional tracks I put together around the same time that were not included on the original CD, some of them never before available digitally.

Here’s what a few folks had to say about it at the time:

“Up there with Paul C, Pete Rock, Premier and all! – I can’t think of another Hip Hop CD I’ve played so much in years!” (Andy Smith – Portishead)

“Chris continues the rap anthology concept of his super-dope ‘The Diary’ megamix in the shape of a remix project – a great platform for Chris to showcase his ample beat-making skills.” (DJ Woody – Former World ITF Champion)

“Crazy! This is Rap History in the making. Chris proves his production skills on this one to the fullest. A wonderful and refreshing journey through all eras of hip hop. Double thumbs up!” (Marc Hype – MPM Records / Former ITF Champion)
