Max Weber Blog's

First off we'd like to shout out all that came out to the Tronik Funk Costume Party back in October, we had a blast and look forward to our next event. In the meantime, our buddy, and Philly-to-the-West-Coast transplant DJ Helix (that's him up there believe it or not!) threw together and sent us an absolutely runnin' mix of classic tech/hardstep for us to post up here. It's dark and funky just like we like it in November. Happy Thursday!

Also, don't fret - we have loads of classic mixes lined up for the blog and a new ALL METALHEADZ podcast coming soon!!! Stay tuned!

Here is a special DrumSkool215 mix by myself & Cuebik in advance of the TRONIK FUNK Costume Party taking place Saturday October 30th 2010 @ Medusa Lounge (21st & Chestnut) in Philadelphia. We hope you enjoy!

The 6th Episode of DrumSkool215 brings summer in Philly to a close with a guest spot by the one and only Jason Magin. A legend in P-town from his days slaving over the drum n bass bins @ 611 Records to his pioneering Fuzed Funk parties and radio show, the well traveled disc jockey has an extensive knowledge of the genre and a collection deeper than most.

We were so stoked to finally have him stop through and school us all with some rare and exclusive bits. Cuts and remixes by the one and only Rufige Kru, Ray Keith, Photek, Urban Shakedown, Dillinja, Deep Blue, L Double, Omni Trio, Cool Hand Flex and Kenny Ken all make appearances, among many other essentials. Play this nice and loud for all yo neighbors!

And of course, don't forget to check back we have a few classic Philly jungle mixtapes coming up very soon! Tell a friend!

OK so it's safe to say I've got a nice grip of old mixtapes by both Karl K and Kaos, so expect many more, but rest assured I've got some bits by J. Smooth, Boy Blue, Trace and a few of my own first tapes coming up real soon. Also, keep an ear out for Episode 2 of the Drumskool215 podcast. Click here to check the first one, mixed and hosted by yours truly.

Anyways, on to the business at hand. This mix, which hit the streets in summer of 1995, remains an all time favorite of mine - it's superbly mixed and programmed, spanning a multitude of styles and tunes, from the likes of LTJ Bukem, Photek, Aphrodite, Dillinja, Lemon D, DJ Crystl, Q Project, Source Direct, and if memory serves I recall that side 1 of this mix kicks off with a very early DJ Kaos original? No full tracklist (though I could probably work it out if I had time) but nonetheless the mix is wicked stuff. Check it.
