SAMMY SENIOR’S MIXTAPE DIG #48

Weeeeeell Hello everyone! This is in fact the first Dig of 2014.. you may be thinking, what a lazy bastard Sammy has been.. and you are right! I have been holidaying in Canada and Mexico, doing nothing more than a bit of DJing, a bit of Surfing, and plenty of “being a lazy bastard” Although i’m still on holiday (now in New Zealand) I have been watching the mixtapes pile up and decided I had better get my A into G and get some of these out to you before it’s too late.

Firstly though, i’m sure you are well aware as the hype is building, the people are talking, Fat Harrys blurbs are starting to leak like a pregnant woman’s neglected nipples and the Previews are rolling in.. THURSDAY is the day folks, that marks the 100TH SCOUR EVER! Spinforth is working round the clock to deliver you the best scour yet.. a handful of carefully crafted tunes from some of your favourite producers to make this occasion monumental. PLEASE and i stress PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE show your support if you have ever listened/downloaded/participated in the scour, by sharing/liking/commenting to make sure that all the hard work Spin and the artists have put in feels rewarded.. I know it will mean a lot to them.

NOW

Since I have been away I have a bit of catching up to do, here’s a few  mixtapes that I feel are not to be missed!

Starting things off with this cheeky little swing number by g-sus, which focuses on the heavier side of swing sampled tunes, short and sharp at only 20 minutes long, this mix is like an espresso.. guaranteed to have you bouncing off the walls on the way to work in the morning.

Ghetto Swing by *g-sus*

Next up is an impressive mix by Sista Sara from Australia. Reggae/Ragga vibes on this one, mixed to perfection, this one has got roadtrip/BBQ/summer written all over it, if none of those things are on your agenda because you are currently in the middle of winter, I suggest you download it anyway. why? because it’s awesome that’s why.

When Zac Panic  sent me a mixtape with the description “A specially concocted mix of classic hip hop, breaks, bass and reggae blends” I got excited, and you should too! This mix is 100% organic.. which means no pesticides and it’s GMO free..Hippies rejoice!

A while ago I received a DELICIOUS mixtape from Bassfunk Plymouth (who throw down a HUGE party if you are ever lucky enough to participate), but as I was taking my break I stored it ready to unleash in my first mixtape dig back. Since then they have released a volume 2.. I tried to choose between the two but like choosing a favourite child, I decided some things are best left to the public. Here’s both, you choose!

Volume One

Volume Two

Hmm that should keep you happy for now, I’ll be back next week with more. Please show some love and share/thumb/comment/hug the artists!

Have a good Week all!
