No Love Lost Records and Trash are developing quite a healthy relationship. Give us a proper mix and we’ll be more than pleased – I’d say elated if it ends up being as good as this one RAFFERTIE has created for The Mixtape Project and given to Trash to post as an exclusive.

I have to say that I absolutely luuuurrrvvve what the Brits are doing these days with their mixes. The last I listened to over and over was from ME ME ME – MeMeMe is a Fine Piece of Ass. All this OLD JUMP UP BASSLINE is really causing quite a stir inside!!!! Kicking if off with a William Shatner intro right into an excellent mashup of “So Solid Crew vs. Hostage - 21 Seconds (Raffertie’s Mashup).” Within this superb mix lies “Solid Groove - This Is Sick (Yeah! Woho! Remix) (Raffertie’s Wideboy Edit)” which is just killing it every time – The Yeah! Woho! Remix and now Raffertie’s “Wideboy Edit” of it which is beyond perfect. Shit, listen to what happens with DJ V and Rolla - “Miracle”. I don’t recall hearing that track sound so good, IF EVER, until NOW. Toss in some garagey bassline and BOOM, MAGIC.

Another highlight is “OH SNAP!! - Bill Cosby Sweater (Hostage Remix)”, which I love, especially when blended right into “Chaka Kahn - Ain’t Nobody (Raffertie’s Remix)”!!!!! If this style can cross over to the states, IMMEDIATELY and infiltrate itself into the clubs, then we’re sure to have a right BANGIN party!!!! DJ’s of the planet are you listening?? This is the stuff that make panties moist, now please, without further ado, GET ON THIS MIX!!!!!!!!!!!! (and a few words from NLLR, cheers Lee!!)

“To help spread the RAFFERTIE gospel, The Mixtape Project has hooked-up with the ever sexy TRASH MENAGERIE. Be sure to stop by TRASH to say, what’s-up! Oh and as a bonus, you’ll find a link to the mix RAFFERTIE sent TRASH in January, the aptly titled “Baaaaaaaaassline!” mix – RAFFERTIE’s “Baaaaaaaaassline!” for TRASH MENAGERIE.

Do you like Bassline? Niche? Speed Garage? Old Skool Rave? We here at The Mixtape Project absolutely love them, so does DJ/producer RAFFERTIE, hence our inevitable request for the man to whip-up one of his brain liquefying, breakneck sets for us. Fidgeting, reversing, retrofitting and wonkifying (yes, I just made that last one up!) his way through twenty-seven tracks (appropriate since this is our twenty-seventh exclusive mix) RAFFERTIE once again proves himself to be one of the most innovative and hands down fun DJs in the U.K. or for that matter, the world! Forging his not insignificant mixing and reworking skillz with his aforementioned affinity for all things, Bassline, Niche, Garage and Quaver-Ravey, RAFFERTIE, like some ginsu knife wielding master chef, has the ability to take many disparate tunes and turn them into the most dope, sub-bass laden party you’ve never heard. In this mix alone, RAFFERTIE takes tunes or samples by URBAN HYPE, JACKSON 5, BENGA, CHAKA KHAN, FAITHLESS, BRYAN COX, C&C MUSIC FACTORY, the theme tune from OTT British medical “drama” CASUALTY(!) and COOLIO(?) and makes them sound like they were all crafted to be played back-to-back, quite genius. Speaking of which, it’s time to get downloading. Then pay RAFFERTIE a visit via his MySpace and say, cheers!

Happy Friday! Enjoy your weekend! I’m off out to party with MSTRKRFT, THE BLOODY BEETROOTS and L.A. RIOTS tonight at Studio B. I trust you all have something equally fun planned for the weekend. If not, best get on it, ay?! Until the next time, watch your bassbins, I’m telling ya!” – Lee
