Tucker's DJ Mixtape Podcast

This mixtape is a collection of vaporwave edits I've discovered over the past few months. As I drive around while streaming Nightwave Plaza, I save any earworm that catches my ear. After a month or two, I sit down with Bandcamp open, track down each song, and finally clear out the saved screenshots from my phone.

I recreated the mixtape I used to make for friends from Sinéad's first two CDs, back when I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got blew up in 10th grade. RIP.

I firmly believe that both mainstream Rock and Roll and Hip Hop died in the year 2000. That said, I've always had a genuine soft spot for the early days of Skratch 'N Sniff's mashups, before they started putting dubstep drops on everything and I lost interest after 2010. They used to post their edits as full tracks on a now-defunct site, and sometime around 2008, I grabbed as many as I could and tucked them away for safekeeping. It's time to give Skratch 'N Sniff, Malcolm Ryker and DJ Mike Czech, their flowers. 無臭の田舎の見習いグラマー・Mushū no inaka no minarai guramā 決め手が何かわかってるだろ・Kimete ga nani ka wakatteru daro ジーザスはグリーンベレーと歩く・Jīzasu wa gurīn berē to aruku 僕らは高く飛び去る・Bokura wa takaku tobisaru バリーボンズが君に新しい家を買ってくれる・Barī Bonzu ga kimi ni atarashii ie o katte kureru 自尊心を揺さぶるもの・Jisonshin o yusaburu mono ワンプ・ワンプ・スプーンマン・Wanpu wanpu supūnman 親愛なるギャングの神へ・Shin'ai naru gyangu no kami e カリフォルニア州ビバリーヒルズ・Kariforunia-shū Bibarī Hiruzu 憎むか愛するか・Nikumu ka aisuru ka あなたに夢中、ナンバーワン・Anata ni muchū, nanbā wan 目覚めよ、自由の時が来た・Mezame yo, jiyū no toki ga kita ラジオを上げろ・Rajio o agero

This mixtape is a collection of vaporwave edits I've picked up over the last few months. As I drive around streaming Nightwave Plaza, I save any earworm that catches my attention. After a month or two, I sit down with Bandcamp open in a tab, track down each song, and finally clear out the saved screenshots from my phone. That's how I found the tracks for this tape.

With hardly any free time anymore, I've started cooking up vaporwave edits on the weekends to make the most of the few hours I get to myself. During the pandemic, I discovered Vaporwave while working from home and was instantly hooked by the often repetitive, chopped-and-screwed edits of obscure ‘80s and ‘90s tracks, which reminded me of the DJ Screw tapes I used to bump back in college—especially the random ‘80s rock or R&B songs that he would slip onto those tapes. I also dug the seemingly random Windows clipart aesthetic in much of the artwork. This tape might be a departure from my usual, but I only post bangers. These are all edits that I've done over the last year. The formula goes something like this: start with a pristine audio file, slow it down until it sounds "right", then experiment with different analog emulation plugins until you end up with something that could fit on a screw tape (“It's goin' down!”). Lastly, give the artwork a similar treatment, and you're all set.

If you're new to DJ Screw and what I'm referencing, here's a perfect example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6jKtTVtvdw.

The System に称賛の花束を贈る時が来ました。1982年に結成され、1990年まで活動していたボーカリストのミック・マーフィーとマルチインストゥルメンタリスト/プロデューサーのデヴィッド・フランクのデュオは、シンセドリブンでありながらソウルフルなR&Bのエレクトロニックなサウンドスケープを作り上げ、ジャンルを超えてシフトする精緻なトラックを生み出しました。深みのあるカタログには「I Can't Take Losing You」や「Promises Can Break」といった隠れた名曲が数多く含まれており、代表曲「Don't Disturb This Groove」だけに留まらない豊かな音楽的レンジが垣間見えます。 The System の影響は、モダンシンセ、エレクトロニック・ソウル、ファンクにおいて否定できません。彼らのシンセドリブンなR&Bの枠組みの中で大規模でアンセム的なコーラスを作り上げる才能は、その後、Black Eyed Peas のようなヒット曲を生み出すアーティストの鍵となる特徴を先取りしていました。The System のコーラスは、壮大なフックと感情的な表現で、内省的な歌詞とエピックでスタジアムのようなサウンドを融合させ、ジャンルの典型的な境界を超えたスケールを持っていました。The System はポップとR&Bの間のラインを曖昧にし、ダンサブルでエキセントリックなグルーヴとキャッチーなリフレインを融合させました。ミックとデヴィッドは時代を先取りし、クロスオーバーの魅力を生み出す基盤を築き、すぐに口ずさみたくなるキャッチーでフックの効いた楽曲を作り上げながらも、ファンクにインスパイアされた洗練されたエッジを失うことはありませんでした。 The System の影響は彼らの録音にとどまらず、精力的なソングライティングとプロダクションのチームとして、彼らは Chaka Khan、Mtume、Phil Collins などのアーティストのために80年代の音のパレットを形作るのに貢献しました。デヴィッド・フランクのシンセプログラミングとプロダクションの巧みさが、彼らが触れた各トラックにユニークな質感を加え、一方でミック・マーフィーの歌詞とボーカルアレンジメントは、業界に共鳴する感情的な深みをもたらしました。彼らは共にシンセドリブンR&Bのブループリントを作り上げ、無数のレコードにその影響が反映され、他の多くのアクトでは匹敵できない多様性を体現しました。豊かなシンセレイヤー、大胆なファンクグルーヴ、洗練されたプロダクションにより、The System は時代を定義し、ジャンルを超えた音楽の中に忘れがたい痕跡を残しました。 The System のレガシーを現代の音楽シーンで探求したい方には、シンセドリブンなR&Bやジャンルブレンディングのスタイルを受け継ぐいくつかのコンテンポラリーおよびインディーアーティストがいます。The Weeknd の「Trilogy」や「Starboy」でのシンセのアトモスフェリックなサウンドとアンセム的なコーラスは、The System のダークでソウルフルなサウンドを思わせます。Chromeo や Tuxedo（Mayer Hawthorne & Jake One）は、80年代のシンセファンクにモダンスピンを加え、The System の最高の作品を彷彿とさせるポップな感性とグルーヴ感溢れるフックを融合させています。Blood Orange（Dev Hynes）は、R&B、ファンク、エレクトロニックな影響をブレンドし、The System のソウルフルなエレクトロニックなサウンドスケープに似たムーディーで内省的な雰囲気を作り出しています。同様に、Kaytranada のプロダクションはグルーヴ中心で、The System のレイヤー技法をチャンネルするようなリッチなシンセと魅力的なベースラインを使用しています。80年代のシンセソウルへのオマージュとしては、Jessie Ware の「What's Your Pleasure?」と、DāM-FunK の現代ブギーファンクがあり、The System のシグネチャーである洗練さと親しみやすさのブレンドを見事に捉えています。 最後に、このミックスは「Wall of Sound」的なサチュレーションを使って仕上げ、原音から最大限のベースを引き出しています。私のミックスはやっぱり「bump」するのが好きですから。

I firmly believe that both mainstream Rock and Roll and Hip Hop died in the year 2000. That said, I have a genuine soft spot for the early days of Skratch 'N Sniff's blends before they started putting dubstep drops on everything and I lost interest after 2010. They used to post their edits on a now-defunct site as full tracks, and at some point around 2008 or so, I grabbed as many as I could and tucked them away for safekeeping. It's time to give Skratch 'N Sniff their flowers. I'm not sure if they're still on San Diego's 91X, where I first found them in 2003, but their weekly remix show is nationwide now.

I've been wanting to do a Freestyle mixtape for a while now. I have cool memories of this music booming out of little Suzuki Samurais and Honda Civics in the late '80s during family vacations to the East and West Coasts. Lately, I've been listening to a lot of archived radio DJ mixes from the late '80s and was inspired to pull together some tasty Rap, Freestyle, Electro, Post-Disco, and House for this tape. I only recently became aware of the original version of 'Show Me Love' and found an unopened copy on Discogs, so the version at the end of this set is a genuine needle drop. A brief introduction to the Freestyle genre: Emerging in the early 1980s in the United States and originating in the urban Latino communities of New York City and Miami, Freestyle was characterized by a blend of synthesizer and drum-heavy electronic beats, Latin percussion, and emotive, often dramatic singing. Notable artists include Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, Stevie B, and Exposé. Internationally, the impact of Freestyle was more nuanced. In Europe, while synth-pop, new wave, and house music were more dominant, elements of Freestyle influenced the emerging Eurodance scene. Meanwhile, in Japan, Freestyle was overshadowed by genres like J-Pop and city pop, along with various other forms of Western music. While its core fanbase resided in cities like New York and Miami, Freestyle's popularity was embraced in club scenes nationwide and received considerable radio play, particularly on urban contemporary, dance, and R&B stations during its peak in the late 1980s. This era marked the height of Freestyle's run in the charts with songs like 'Fascinated' by Company B, 'Crush on You' by The Jets, 'Point of No Return' by Exposé, 'Naughty Girls (Need Love Too)' by Samantha Fox, and 'Tell It to My Heart' by Taylor Dayne. Freestyle's influence persisted into the early '90s, notably in Eurodance with international hit songs like 'Rhythm of the Night' by Corona and 'Be My Lover' by La Bouche, which exhibited similarly catchy choruses and uptempo rhythms, but with much denser and slicker production. While in the Latin music scene, especially in the early to mid-1990s, Latin Freestyle, a subgenre, saw artists like Selena infusing traditional Latin sounds with Freestyle's electronic beats and rhythms. Freestyle remains a distinctive and memorable part of 1980s music culture, representing a unique fusion of sounds that captured the energy and diversity of its era.

I first read about the N.E.R.D. project in something like Maxim Magazine back in college around 2001. Very quickly, the UK version was on file-sharing sites (Napster, LimeWire, Kazaa), and I snapped it up. Ironically, there was no way to know the actual tracklisting, so I made a mix CD with the order that I liked. This was the OG beats version that was never released in America and remains my preferred version. In 2002, with what must be one of my first-ever purchases on Amazon, I actually managed to buy the OG UK version on CD so that I could have WAV files of this amazing debut album, though I quickly burned a CD with the order I was used to from my sketchy mp3's. N.E.R.D.'s second album, Fly or Die, was actually really good, but at the time, I was sorta turned off by the band instrumentation on a N.E.R.D. album and didn't keep up with them much after that. This needed to be sorted out, so I've gone through their discography for a mixtape. I've used some of my beats versions of In Search of... songs as well as the officially available versions with full instrumentation because, with fresh ears, some of them actually kinda slap. You be the judge. One thing I realized while pulling this tape together is that Fly or Die was actually freaking amazing. I love the Steely Dan-esque moments, and really, the only thing I can knock it for is being a little short. Definitely an admirable follow-up to their goat debut masterpiece, In Search of...

This mix is a bit of a sidequest as I put the finishing touches on a pretty fire N.E.R.D. mixtape that I've been working on. Occasionally, I give flowers to some of the great pop tapes and CDs I grew up with. At times, I'll also include a mixtape from other artists who were highly influential to me, especially when they seem to be otherwise missing from the internet for some reason. I stopped DJing in 1994, dropped out of college, and ran off to the Navy, realizing that rocking parties with two tape decks wasn't going to translate to club gigs anyway. For the next 20 years, I was just a DJ fanboy. During that time, I really dug the late '90s big beat scene, with artists like The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, The Crystal Method, and Groove Armada. The Chemical Brothers' commercial mix CD, 'Brothers Gonna Work It Out,' was a massive influence, so much so that when I returned to DJing in 2013, now with the benefit of a laptop and controller, I specifically studied it until I could recreate it. Needless to say, their old DJ sets are a huge influence on me and all are worth a spin when you find them. This particular Chemical Brothers DJ set has been on my hard drive for 21 years, titled “ChemBros_Soundsystem_XL_2003.mp3,” and was originally recorded from the radio in 2003. I most likely downloaded it from Kazaa or Limewire. It stayed in heavy rotation on my Creative MuVo MP3 player at the time. Now, it's nowhere to be found online, which is a shame, so I'm uploading it here as I finish up my N.E.R.D. mixtape. Enjoy — it knocks. If you're listening on Apple Podcasts and feeling generous, kick me a quick 5-star rating and a positive review.

For a long time, I've wanted to give flowers to some of the great pop tapes and CDs I grew up with. It's time for my little love letter to INXS's 'Shabooh Shoobah.' INXS's Kick dropped when I was in the 7th grade, and it was everywhere. As a budding crate digger, I randomly bought this one with my lawn mowing money and was obsessed. For much of 1988, I rotated between 'Shabooh Shoobah', The Cars' self-titled album, and the Doors' 'Absolutely Live,' in my RadioShack-brand Walkman. In fact, I could get through all of 'Shabooh Shoobah' and half of the 'Cars' tape on my morning bus ride to school. Good times.

I found this buried on my hard drive. This is my open-to-close set at Akron's Square Nightclub in Highland Square on February 19th, 2016. This was a fun gig I held down for a few years after it fell into my lap. I used to play deep cuts and hipster stuff for the heck of it at Square and set up the main DJs who were in regular rotation. They used to, sorta, start later and later since someone was already there (me) who set up the booth and made sure the subs were bumping and not overheating since I'd aim fans at them and stuff, like the true gear nerd that I am. One day, DJ Robin, originally scheduled to take over at 11 PM, couldn't make it, and I ended up filling in. In no time, I settled into a weekly routine of subbing for either Robin or the other main DJ (whose name escapes me even after all these years). Even though Square is known as an LGBT bar, it also serves as the only dance floor in Highland Square. As the night progresses, the crowd changes from older gay patrons to bridesmaids, then to 30-year-olds looking to have a good time before heading home to relieve their babysitters. Eventually, from 1-2:30 AM, it transforms into a full-on college bar. The DJs had already established a “pay-to-play” tradition, with a request list placed next to the tip jar. I heavily relied on that list to figure out wtf these people wanted to hear, and would cop things from iTunes as needed. For this gig I'd basically play a request then riff for a few songs, and then grab another request, all night long. I built up a pretty solid charts library along the way. Basically anything old and/or weird is me, and the random contemporary songs where requests peppered in. I had so many crazy interactions that I started bringing a digital recorder that let me record the crowd noise via a mic along with capturing a clean signal from the mixer. It's definitely cool to hear the floor fill up as the night progressed. I miss that place. This particular set was full of glitches because I had opened up my mixer to patch the sound card for time code vinyl and made it unhappy, so it cut out abruptly 2 or 3 times during my set. The first time it happened, I was caught lacking. By the time it cut out on me towards the end, I had a Whitney Houston gay bar banger ready to go on my phone that was hooked up to the AUX-in. First-world problems… [MBP12->Xone:23C->TASCAM DR-40 in 4-channel mode for crowd noise along + line-in]

August 2023 update: a new school year just started, and I have a new son, so this will probably be my last upload for a few months… If you dig this mixtape, please check out all the rest. I only post bangers. Lastly, please give me a good review if you're listening on iTunes.

Theo Parrish is a Detroit legend who put out a series of edits on vinyl simply labeled Uget (ugly edit) that were lofi and interesting. I love what he's doing here and wish more editors would use this quick-and-dirty style. If I were to guess what's going on or wanted to construct an edit in this style myself, I'd start with original vinyl. After identifying the breaks and interesting bits that I'd want to loop, I'd record a bunch of needle drops into a simple DAW like Audacity then move them around and copy-n-paste them until I had a 10-minute banger like “Party Going On”. Don't bother quantizing anything, and make sure the record needle is old and the vinyl dusty. Chef's kiss.

Boogie (genre): during the 1970s, the term “boogie” described music from the disco and post-disco subcultures. In the 1980s, the term was revitalized in London to refer to a type of African-American dance/funk music. Boogie had a large underground following in London's nightclub scene due to a lack of mainstream radio support. Boogie records were often imported from the U.S. and sometimes labeled as “electro-funk” or “disco-funk.” Although the word “boogie” was initially used to describe disco records, it became more popular as “disco” gained negative connotations. “Boogie” originally appeared in funk, soul, R&B, and disco music from the 1970s, with notable examples including “Jungle Boogie” (1974) and “Boogie Wonderland” (1979). Kashif is considered to be one of the pioneers of boogie music, with his 1983 single “I Just Gotta Have You (Lover Turn Me On)” helping to define the early 1980s boogie sound. Other popular boogie tracks from the 1980s include “Wake Up” (Hamilton Bohannon), “Act Like You Know” (Fat Larry's Band), and “Boogie's Gonna Get Ya” (Rafael Cameron). Boogie artists in the 1980s began experimenting with heavy bass, paving the way for the roots of house music. Hamilton Bohannon, D-Train, and Sharon Redd were among the artists who contributed to this new sound. Some producers, like François Kevorkian and Larry Levan, polished and extended the limits of urban-oriented boogie, while others like Arthur Baker and John “Jellybean” Benitez drew inspiration from European and Japanese technopop music. The latter approach paved the way for electro, and subsequently, freestyle music.

I found a folder on my computer of a bunch of demos, outtakes, and singles from Paul's Boutique that I had sorta forgotten about and gave it a mix.

Please join me in giving Eazy Emo and The Hood Internet their flowers. Going through my hoard of 10 to 15-year-old mashups, I rediscovered Eazy Emo. His blog is still online (https://eazyemo.wordpress.com/) but hasn't been updated in 12 years. I emailed him (eazyemo@hotmail.com

I firmly believe that both mainstream Rock and Roll and Hip Hop died in the year 2000. That said, I have a genuine soft spot for the early days of Skratch 'N Sniff's blends before they started putting dubstep drops on everything and I lost interest after 2010. They used to post their edits on a defunct site as full tracks, and at some point around 2008 or so I grabbed as many as I could and tucked them away for safekeeping. It's time to give Skratch 'N Sniff their flowers. I'm not sure if they're still on San Diego's 91X, where I first found them in 2003, but their weekly remix show is nationwide now, and I should check in and see what they've been up to. I kept this one short and to the point, all bangers and zero skips. It's summer, bang this mix and grin. Rush+Luniz Filter+50+Akon Radiohead+Pharcyde LZ+JZ Black Sabbath+Cypress Hill Beck+EMINƎM The Bravery+2Pac Def Leppard+T-Pain Billy Idol+Lil Jon Bad Brains+Puff Daddy Jane's Addiction+OutKast NIИ+50

A little bit of everything here with this one including some meanderings. I had a cool edit of 1 Thing which got me tripping on the fact that one person was responsible for that banger along with Crazy in Love and Get Right so I had to drop those as a little celebration of Richard Harrison. Later, I found myself in 60s/70s territory so I took the opportunity to drop what I consider the first-ever pop music diss tracks with Paul McCartney and John Lennon going at each other. Always show respect to the edit man or woman. These remix artists are pretty active so, if anything catches your fancy, find them, buy their edits, support them.

Theo Parrish is a Detroit legend who put out a series of edits on vinyl simply labeled Uget (ugly edit) that were lofi and interesting. I love what he's doing here and wish more editors would use this quick and dirty style. If I were to guess what's going on, or wanted to construct an edit in this style myself, I'd start with original vinyl. After identifying the breaks and interesting bits that I'd want to loop, I'd record a bunch of needle drops into a simple DAW like Audacity then move them around and copy-n-paste them until I had a 10-minute banger like "Party Going On". Don't bother quantizing anything, and make sure the record needle is old and the vinyl dusty. Chef's kiss.
