DJ Luca – Ragga Mix

rumble — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 03:57:00 +0000

I can’t say exactly how many times I’ve heard this over the years, and even at a decade old it’s still great. Deceptively titled, it’s actually a garage mix, kicking off with “A Little Bit of Luck” by Luck and Neat.

Many evenings that involved being in front of a computer were soundtracked by this Luca mix, these tracks embodied everything I loved about garage music at the time.

I can’t find anything about Luca on the Internet anymore, but some of his mixes live on in the back corners of my external hard drive. Have fun with this one.

If you don’t remember, it’s the same MC Viper as here:

But not to be ever confused with the MC Vapour:

And definitely not to be mixed up with the Special MC:

Anyway, enjoy. Hopefully you’ll not only like the mix, but I might have dropped you down a YouTube rabbit hole in the meantime.

MJ Cole – Winter 2011 Mix

MJ Cole released an excellent winter mix that, upon listening, will elicit use of words like “smooth”. Be sure to pop the blue light bulbs in your lamps, and take it easy as you wind down and wash the dishes after a long day at the job.
