mix to download - 90s mo wax, ninja tune etc

[tim scott]

Hi all,

Some of you might know that I’ve started making beats under a new pseudonym recently: ‘expressway’ (http://www.myspace.com/expresswaybeats (http://www.myspace.com/expresswaybeats)). It came about for a few reasons, but the main idea for now is to make some deep down n dirty instrumental hip hop tracks… You might also know I present a show on Samurai FM called ‘2types’. So for my forthcoming show I decided to be my own guest and put together a mix of the tracks that inspired me to start making beats like the ones I’m making as expressway…

Thanks to the internet, here’s the mix for you to download as an mp3 now!

I was really surprised when I looked at the dates of these tracks how many had come from 1995 – it must have been a good year! I was going to write a bit about the tracks and so on, but I think I’ll let the music do the talking. Hope you enjoy – let me know if you do!

The new 2types will be up soon at Samurai FM (http://www.samurai.fm/2types) with loads and loads of new music to go alongside this stuff.

Cheers,

Tim.

Some good looking tunes in there Tim - don't know when I'll get chance to check this but will try and do so, 95 when I started to really cut my teeth musically, it was indeed a vintage year and although I was mostly handbagging it up with the Bucketheads & Hideaway etc some of these also hold memories for me, nice work by the looks of it!

Haven't seen you about for a while (I'm getting too old to go out all the time!) - hope all's well with you...
