When NYC’s Mishka and Canada’s Jokers of the Scene get together, this is what happens – Mix tape love!!! Featured on the Mishka bloglin, we’ve snatched it up so we can spread the love around a bit more! Here’s what Mishka had to say on mix tapes and their collab with JOTS!

“Mix tapes have always been an integral part of NYC’s underground culture and burgeoning music scene, and as such, Mishka is proud to carry on the tradition with the launch of Keep Watch. Featuring top DJ’s hailing from every genre and geographic corner, Mishka’s Keep Watch party-mixes celebrates one of the most widely practiced American art forms. Released on a semi regular basis (usually to accompanying party), the mixes will be available for free download through our site, the Bloglin and very shortly podcast on Itunes.

To kick off the Keep Watch series, we have invited our Canadian friends, Jokers of the Scene (JOTS), to put together something special just for you. This first volume by JOTS also celebrates the 5th anniversary of their high popular club night Disorganised, which has hosted the earliest Canadian appearances of such party heroes like MSTRKRFT, CSS, Diplo, Crystal Castles and Girl Talk. Listeners can expect to hear mind-melting mixes that are loud, fun and guaranteed to light up dance floors world wide.” – Mishka

I’ve been meaning to put up this excellent mix by Foamo for some time, finally getting around to it! Touted as one of the brightest up and comers out of the U.K. by way of High Wycombe, Foamo is on the hot tip of just about every Dj and production team right now. His tune “Rockerman” can be heard on the latest Crookers Radio 1 essential mix (mix below) and an edit of “Moving it over Here” by JFK of MSTRKRFT landed on their essential mix as well! “Rockerman” is listed on Drop The Lime’s ‘Top Bangers To Sweat Right Now’ and Foamo’s remix of Primary 1’s “Hold Me Down” on Armand Van Helden’s June Top 10! Foamo has also been getting heaps of love from Kissy Sell Out! Erhm, really, what more could one ask for?! Check out this summer banger that is bass heavy, loaded with some favorites!!!!

Sometime within the past few weeks, Lee from No Love Lost Records, mentioned he was expecting a mixtape from Ottawa selectors, DJ Booth & Chameleonic aka JOKERS OF THE SCENE. I was beyond ELATED! Ya done good son! Well here it is and to say that it is glorious, would be an understatement!! They’ve gone and dropped a BOMB with this one, previewing tracks from their latest single, Acid Bagg. If you’ve been feeling jaded in any way about the state of dance music, well this mix is sure to wake you the fuck up!!

“DJ Booth and Chameleonic (aka: JOKERS OF THE SCENE) of Ottawa, Canada are very busy lads, in no short order they have, run a club night which during its successful five year run played host to top folks like DIPLO, MSTRKRFT, GIRL TALK, CRYSTAL CASTLES and CSS, have officially remixed BONDE DO ROLE, BRODINSKI, DJ BLAQSTARR, DANDI WIND, TITTSWORTH, DESTROY DISCO, MUSCLES, SOUTH RAKKAS CREW and KID KUDI, have released an arsenal of top notch original productions on label du jour, FOOL’S GOLD and now they’ve kindly done an exclusive mix for The Mixtape Project. An explosive hour of deep Electro-Tech, Fidget and buzzing Progressive, the highlight of this extremely well selected and professional mix has to be the appropriately named “Baggy Bottom Boys,” a red-hot JOKERS OF THE SCENE exclusive that exudes early 90s rave era happiness from its every beat and pore. By the end of the summer, “Baggy Bottom Boys” along with similarly superb and inspired “White Knight Two” by SURKIN will likely be responsible for putting more smiles on clubbers faces than any other dance tunes this year. We are very happy indeed to have JOKERS OF THE SCENE in the mix for No Love Lost, be sure to visit their MySpace and say, hello! Enjoy the mix.” – Lee, NLLR

Coming in at number five six, No Love Lost Records meets U.K.’s Andy George!! Get to know a bit more about the young blood who co-promotes a spectacular club night at Moda, with partner Jaymo, in the South of London. Named by Kissy Sell Out, as one of his favorite nights out!! Is there a future NLLR mixtape for Jaymo? hint hint. Stay posted for more NLLR mixes!!!!

“ANDY GEORGE and DJ partner in crime, JAYMO, were recently offered that very rare opportunity of playing a legendary BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, which they hosted in fine style alongside KISSY SELL OUT. The Essential Mix was recorded at a huge blowout edition of ANDY and JAYMO’s massively popular Fidget House and Electro club night, MODA, in Lincoln. MODA has quickly earned a reputation as one the absolute best club nights in the U.K. CROOKERS, SINDEN, SWITCH, BOY 8-BIT, ANNIE MAC, ZOMBIE DISCO SQUAD, BLACK GHOSTS have all played the night alongside ANDY GEORGE and his fellow MODA residents. ANDY gives us a perfect taste of the MODA vibe with his NLLR mixtape, splashing bass heavy exclusives and wobbly reworks every which way until the very last. The tracklisting for this mix reads like an A-to-Z of only the best Fidget House producers in the business, including of course ANDY himself. On with the mix” — Lee, NLLR

There are few people in the world who haven’t heard of DJ Yoda so it almost seems silly to do the whole Charles Dickens thing on this boy.

DJ Yoda, British turntablist with a penchant for mashing up the musical genres on his hugely famous mixtapes (How to Cut & Paste Mix Tape Vol.1, The Amazing Adventures of DJ Yoda ), has turned his hand to the FabricLive series.

DJ Yoda says:

“This mix is unique for me. After all these years and all the mixes I’ve done, this is the first mix that’s actually representative of what I do in a club. As much as the ‘How To Cut & Paste’ mixes represent my style, the fabric mix is the first time you’ll hear what I sound like in a club, as opposed to me sitting at home in my bedroom fiddling around with tiny pieces of music. It’s music you can dance to.”

Yoda’s FabricLive mix includes lots of nice hiphop, drum n bass and grime, but isn’t afraid to tackle Violent Femmes, The Coral and MInnie Riperton’s oh-so-sweet “Lovin’ You”. I’m definitely getting a piece of this action because he’s chucked in some of my all-time old school faves, Salt-N-Pepa’s “Push It” and Bell Biv DeVoe’s “Poison”.

FabricLive 39 hits the UK shelves on 14 April, (FabricFirst members get a crack on 7 April), but US fans will have to wait ’til 13 May.

In the meantime, the lovely folks at Fabric have sent us Yoda’s FabricLive.39 Radio Mix to whet our appetites. Pretty cool eh? Different songs, same amazing dj. Enjoy !
