Hip-hop DJs and writers 2tall, Kper and DJ Clockwork have come together to compile one of the year’s most ambitious and considered mixes, titled A Boom Bap Continuum.
With an aim to “highlight the lineage of hip-hop production and beat making from the turn of the millennium…and perhaps shed some light on the fairly quiet revolution that has been taking place under the surface of mainstream media in recent years”, ABBC compiles over a hundred hip-hop (or hip-hop related) tracks chronologically from 1999 to 2009, starting with Lootpack, The Smut Peddlers and Task Force and ending with Paul White, Hudson Mohawke and Little Dragon.
“A journey from late ‘90s crate digging to the circuit-bent soundscapes of the so-called ‘post-dilla’ era”, ABBC comes with hand-drawn cassette style tracklists and audio footage of interviews with J Dilla and more. It’s free to download at 320 bitrate, and comes heavily recommended.
You can download the mix and read the extensive sleeve notes on the ABBC homepage.
