We're always looking for old mixtapes. We don't care if they were made by a big-name dj or not. In fact, it'd be nice to hear what kids were doing in their bedroom studios back in the 90s. We're also interested in dj equipment modifications if you've come up with something tight.

Isaac's Favorite Cuts - Part II

Besides being a battle veteran, Mista Sinista is also an incredible chorus cut king. One thing the X-men always seemed to do (maybe unintentionally) was that they used the same copies of records that they practiced on forever to record with. After you've cut the same section of record a hundred times, it starts to get this very pronounced hiss over the top of the samples. I've always felt that this hiss makes the actual samples being cut sound even better -- especially in a cut chorus. This sample comes from a song called "Remember" off of Sinista's "Street Credit" mixtape. And now...Sinista.
