  • Album:
    Never Scared
I thought I had lost it. I was struggling to find it. Then a with a stroke of pure luck (and some cleaning under my couch) I came across it. It's a DJ mix by Hollertronix, called "Never Scared." It's the DJ mix that launched Diplo, half of the duo along with Lo Budget, to Ninja Tune fame. Its the mix that moved him out of Philly and onto the East Coast super scene. It's in my top 3 dj mixes, with Coldcut's "Journeys by DJ", and RJD2's "Your Face or Your Kneecaps". Honorable mention goes to DJ Spooky's "Under the Influence" I mean, we're talking about four classics.If you don't know about the Hollertronix mix "Never Scared", then you are missing out! In the words of one of Black Rob, "Like, Whoa!" It is a dance floor breaker. Like the other mixes mentioned above, it defines a sound. It's the mash-up mix that made every other North East DJ start the mash-up. Everything from Bjork to Rock the Casbah finds a place on the album. It's the mix to get start your weekend, keep it going, and cry to when the weekend ends. It's got it in there "Watch out weekend, cause here I come. Because weekends were, made for fun!" Never Scared!Open it up! Call out your top DJ mixes: My top 5, in order:RJD2 - "Your Face or Your Kneecaps" - funk mega-mix with some hip-hop helpins'Coldcut - "Journeys by DJ" - an absolute classicHollertronix - "Never Scared" - see aboveStereo MCs - "DJ Kicks" - mixing is a little questionable, but the track selection is second to noneDJ Spooky - "Under the Influence" - Electronic as its meant to be

  1. Jess Horrible says YES! I love the Stereo MCs mix (and agree on the mixing technicals... yeouch) I have to put a shout out to Mark Farina's Mushroom Jazz 1, and Tha Roman's old tape mixes (beginning music, vacation music) and of course, the K&D Sessions.
