DMV Mixtape (September)

With Wale getting so popular around the country, a lot of DC artists have begun to spring up over the internet and gain a little prominence. DC is doing it big (DC UP!). I have a lot of hometown pride, but I wouldn’t let that give me a bias in terms of what I pass [...]

Will Eastman Mix for XM Radio

Vinyl Meltdown loves Will Eastman. He’s a good DJ, organizer, and all around cool guy. A few weeks ago, he dropped a mix for XM Radio, and we like that too. So, we’re going to give it to you, along with the tracklisting for the mix. Big things from Will, and hopefully even bigger.
Fort [...]

Autorock Packin’ More Heat!

Autorock has been on his grind in the studio, and is coming at you with more heat for the summertime (more heat this summer!?!?). This time around, its in the form of a 30 minute Major Key Mix. This mix is full of summertime happiness and bangers, all arranged masterfully by DC’s Autorock. He describes [...]

Would You Dance With Me?

XV - “Would U Dance With” ((THE VISUAL EXPERIENCE))by InkOnFilmProductions

Lol. Great music video, awesome song. XV kills it on the Chromeo beat, and then takes it one step further with the Napoleon Dynamite video. Too funny. I swear I’ve covered XV before, but I can’t seem to find it. So let’s just pretend like I [...]

Just Do It

6th Sense has teamed up with mixtape mogul Mick Boogie once again to bring you his Nike themed mixtape Just Do It. I’ve been a big fan of 6th Sense ever since my man Wyatt put me onto Highing Fly, which is a beautiful album. This mixtape puts 6th over a slew of some what [...]

A Kid Named CuDi

The mixtape is here! And it’s really good. Standout tracks: Man on the Moon (one of the coolest, subtlest beats ever), Down and Out (great to hear someone on that beat), Embrace the Martian… I should stop I’m about to list like 90% of the tracks. Kid CuDi did his thing, this mixtape is really [...]

Maui Wowie

On Thursday, 10Deep and Kid CuDi drop the mixtape A Kid Named CuDi. This is both Kid Cudi’s first official mixtape, and 10Deeps next mixtape since Wale’s Mixtape About Nothing. A few of the tracks off here have been leaked, but just now, another one has dropped. Apparently Kid CuDi wrote this on the plane [...]

The Cool Kids are Stupid

Well… I like them. But they just released a new mixtape entitled “That’s Stupid.” What’s up with all the new mixtapes/EPs they keep dropping. Luckily, this one has a bunch of new tracks on it! I’m not sure how I feel about these guys, lately a lot of their stuff has begun to sound eerily [...]

I AM AMERICA AND SO CAN YOU

So… today I led a class through a discussion about music. The topic given to me to speak on (which I didn’t totally understand until maybe 45 minutes before the class started. yay me!) was music of America. More specifically, music that defines or is defined by America. I decided to give it the slant [...]

Mass Appeal with Autorock

I don’t know if you remember our last post about Vinyl Meltdown’s friend Autorock, but his last mixtape, Assquake was a straight banger. His newest endeavour, Mass Appeal follows up very strong. Its hard for me to say which is better, but I lean slightly towards the newest. The mix is 150 samples in 70 [...]
