[email protected]'s mixtape podcast

I firmly believe that both mainstream Rock and Roll and Hip Hop died in the year 2000. That said, I have a genuine soft spot for the early days of Skratch 'N Sniff's blends before they started putting dubstep drops on everything and I lost interest after 2010. They used to post their edits on a now-defunct site as full tracks, and at some point around 2004 or so, I grabbed as many as I could and tucked them away for safekeeping. It's time to give Skratch 'N Sniff their flowers. I'm not sure if they're still on San Diego's 91X, where I first found them in 2003, but their weekly remix show is nationwide now. I should check in and see what they've been up to.

I kept this one short and to the point, with wall-to-wall ass rock slappers and zero skips. It's summer, bang this mix and grin.

This tape is a collection of vaporwave edits I’ve discovered while streaming Nightwave Plaza. I usually save any earworms, then every few months I sit down with Bandcamp, track down each song, and finally clear out the screenshots from my phone.

Closing the book on this series with the seventh installment. In the first six, I went for bangers, earworms, personal favorites, and the tracks that were easiest to mix in and out of. What was left, I feared, were the skips and cast-asides. It turns out there’s no such thing in this folder of Skratch ’N Sniff (Malcolm Ryker and DJ Mike Czech) mashups I’ve had tucked away on my hard drive for the past 20 years.

I honestly believe that both mainstream Rock and Roll and Hip Hop died after Y2K. That said, I’ve always had a soft spot for the early days of Skratch ’N Sniff’s mashups, before they put dubstep drops on everything and I lost interest after 2010. They used to post full edits on a now-defunct website, and sometime around 2004, I grabbed as many as I could and tucked them away. This whole series has been about giving Skratch ’N Sniff their flowers and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. If you’re new here, be sure to start back at number 1 for a perfect blend of early-aughts ass-rock and hip hop.

This mixtape is a collection of vaporwave edits I’ve made over the last 6 months. During the pandemic, I discovered Vaporwave while working from home. As an '80s kid, I was instantly hooked by the often repetitive, 'chopped-and-screwed' flips of obscure ‘80s and ‘90s songs, which left me nostalgic for that time while simultaneously reminding me of the DJ Screw tapes I used to collect back in college, especially when he would slip in random rock or '80s R&B songs. I also dug the weird Windows clipart aesthetic that shows up in so much of the artwork. This tape might be a departure from my usual, but I only make bangers.

The formula isn't rocket science and goes something like this: start with a clean audio file, slow it down until it sounds 'right', cut some things, loop some things, then experiment with different analog emulation plugins until it could pass for something from a Screw tape. Lastly, give the artwork a similar treatment, and you’re set. If you're new to DJ Screw and what I’m referencing, here’s a perfect example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6jKtTVtvdw

This mixtape is a collection of vaporwave edits I’ve discovered over the past few months. As I drive around while streaming Nightwave Plaza, I save any earworm that catches my ear. After a month or two, I sit down with Bandcamp open, track down each song, and finally clear out the saved screenshots from my phone.
