2008 Mixtape Rewind
Squincy’s Nintendub mixtape deserves a rewind.
Fact Magazine just listed it as one of the “Top 20 Mixes of 2008“.
Good job, son!
A mix can show you a side to an artist that a regular album can’t, it can disinter the latent energy in songs both bleeding edge and familiar, it can help commemorate the past and it can break and spread important news. That’s why the second of our end-of-year lists celebrates the mix in all its modern-day incarnations – studio mixes, live mixes, radio sets and MC-oriented mixtapes – most of which are available to download for free below. –FactMagazine.co.uk
16: SQUINCY JONES – NINTENDUB (Self-Released)
In Houston DJ Squincy Jones’ words, this “combines three of the raddest things to ever happen to music: Dubstep, 8bit Nintendo Loops and Rap.” The first, it has to be said, is greatly exaggerated — sure, there are edits, and a sample from the original Zelda over ‘Jagz the Smack’, but for the most part this mix is simple — Southern hip-hop acapellas over dubstep beats. And the music from Lost Boys.
