Chopped Herring x Carharrt Radio

The good folks over at Chopped Herring Records invited me to do a mix for their Carharrt Radio Special this month. For those who don't know about this label, these guys collect crazy rare demos from the 1990s + a few new boom bap tunes for their vinyl only catalogue. An extremely limited amount of copies of each release gets put out each week with no promo campaign prior to release day. Yet just about each 12" released sells out pretty quickly. Artists involved include Action Bronson, Masta Ace, J-Zone, Junior Mafia, Da Buze Brovaz, JVC Force, Fatnice, Paula Perry, Bahamadia and many more. For this mix, I brought in my dude Matthew Law for some added flavor on 4 turntables. These tunes take me right back to how the early to mid 90s felt musically. Hope you all enjoy!

Hip hop, and you don't stop: this Carhartt WIP radio show brings you Chopped Herring Records, founded in 2001 in Manchester by collector, rare vinyl eBay merchant, and DJ Bob Lipitch aka Pro Celebrity Golf aka Chubby Grooves. Since the beginning his label releases limited edition hip hop vinyl - never released before recordings from back in the day and new music from today's artists - always dope and fresh. The „Three Sinister Syllables“ LP by the artists Pro Celebrity Golf and Jay Glaze from 2004 is probably the record, that put the UK label on the global hip hop map. Others artists from their big roster include old and current stars like Action Bronson, Masta Ace or Stetsasonic, as well as new names like Epidemic from South Florida, Timeless Truth from NYC or US duo OG Aborigines amongst many others. Many of them are included in our Carhartt WIP Chopped Herring Records radio Show that was ‪mixed by Mr Sonny James & Matthew Law of the‪ "Illvibe Collective" out of Philadelphia.
