This latest instalment of Rhythm Incursions’ “In Session” series is a tribute to the art of preservation and mixtape culture.

During the process of digitally restoring and preserving tapes for my forthcoming early works project “Mood Algorithms” I decided to also digitize some mixtapes from the same period to share with you.

“Stems of Hip Hop” was created circa 99/00 (pre internet download era) with a turntable, mixer, tons of vinyl and a four-track as a tribute to advancements in experimental hip hop music and drum and bass that spawned from the pioneering days of hip-hop production and sampling. The original physical tape was available throughout Los Angeles at spots like Fat Beats (Hollywood), Beat Non Stop (Melrose) and also at shows as well as circulated/dubbed amongst friends. In an effort to continue the process of sharing this work I’ve digitized it and am putting it out as part of my “In Session” series. So please download and share… spread worldwide!

P.S: Pre-Order Mood Algorithms

Oh and here’s a little youtube preview for it:

Our man on the West Coast returns for another In Session this time taking us down the 45 route, with a little mix of all 45s. As he put it to us:

I just wanted to do something that’s 40 mins of 45 rpm selections…not heavy obscure stuff but more laid back mix that can be played at work around the house or driving… you know!

Those of you familiar with DDay will know this means a serious headnodding trip and deep selection. You can download below – please note that for this occasion the download link is to a bandcamp page and so there is no stream from the site. iTunes/RSS subscribers will receive the show direct as always.

Be sure to check DDay One’s website for more news on the man and his music as well as existing and forthcoming releases on his Content Label.

Hello and welcome to another edition of Rhythm Incursions “In-Session” with your selector Dday One broadcasting from Mid-City Los Angeles, CA

This episode is the first in the “Selections” mix series. Selections will cover topic specific mixes, for example genre, era and events. This month’s “Selection” is a 60 min celebration of classic breaks, jazz, prog-rock and soul music from Japan.

Most of the music featured comes from records stores and supporters on visits to Japan. The most recent visit was early March for Superheadz VJ’s presents “Live Harinezumi No Mori“, then returning home two days before the March 11th earthquake and tsunami. After getting word of the event, days where spent checking the well being of friends in the region and reflecting. This mix comes out those reflections.

With news transmitting at light-speed it’s easy to forget but I hope this mix helps to keep those affected by the devastation in your thoughts and prayers.

Please join the worldwide assistance drive by directly donating to recognized charitable organization like Japanese Red Cross and Oxfam.

To the supporters this mix is dedicated to you! Thanks for being a constant source of inspiration! Heiwa!

**Enjoy and share this mix!**

Our man in Los Angeles returns after a little delay this month with Session number 10, and boy are you in for a treat.

Dday One has been busy beavering away on new music and live shows, as you may have noticed in our latest featured video for his track ‘Between Poles’ which is taken from the latest release on his Content Label, a split 10″ between himself and Glen Porter featuring some killer artwork and a delicious vinyl package. You can buy the release digitally or physically via the bandcamp, the vinyl is extra limited so get in quick!

Still the man has found time to come through with a new show after hooking up our recent guest mixes from the Rotaug collective. No themes on this one as the man explains:

Welcome to another edition of Rhythm Incursions. This session deviates from the previous topic-based/themed “in session” mixes with a straight 60-min mix of new releases, classics and exclusives.
Enjoy the mix and please make sure to support the featured artists.

And when he says classics he’s not messing about. He resent the mix through last week after having digitised part of his tape collection so that the show begins with a very rarely heard freestyle from L.A luminaries such as Aceyalone and P.E.A.C.E from 1992! A real treat. And then you’ve got an hour of tasty new music from Dibiase, Eskmo, ichiro_, Dday himself, Andreya Triana and more.

So without further ado I’ll let you get stuck in. Next up is the latest Friend of Friends mix series, with our regular Rhythm Incursions show delayed due to life priorities taking over – I’m hoping to drop it before month’s over though.

As always download and stream below, or subscribe via RSS/iTunes/email for automatically updated fun. Enjoy!

We return to Los Angeles for the first show of the year hosted by our man DDay One. In fine style he’s bringing you fresh sounds arranged around a theme taken from a best-selling book by Napoleon Hill. I’ll let him explain it all…

This session is along the lines of the Blend Meditation mixes in that the music was specifically chosen to create an atmosphere that motivates the listener.

This time it’s a tribute to the Great Depression era bestselling book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. Blended in between classic breaks, atmospheric pulses and world premieres are brief descriptions of the principles of the text, taken from an LP of the same title narrated by Earl Nightingale (circa 1956).

The 13 Principles of “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill:
Desire, Faith, Auto Suggestion, Specialized knowledge, Imagination, Organized Planning, Decision, Persistence, Enthusiasm, Power of the Master Mind Group, The Brain, Subconscious Mind, The Sixth Sense

Shouts to the artists featured! Sit back and enjoy!

Peace**

SUPPORT THE ARTISTS!

Greetings and welcome to another installment of Rhythm Incursions. It’s been a minute, I am glad to be back in the mix for you!

This session is a bit different from the accustomed live mixes which included mostly new and classic material. This time the music selected was inspired by a specific topic. Since I am in full studio/beatmaking mode I foresee the next few podcasts to be in this nature, as going through stacks of vinyl is once again a daily routine.

Music for Eclipse Watching – Compiled by Dday One

60 min mix of cosmic sounds, acetate artifacts and sequencer pulsed rhythms to help in the wonderful splendor that is eclipse watching.
