A name I’d forgotten to check for a while is the ubiquitous Cancer Scabies. Purveyor of all things prog, pop, scuzz, freakout, garage, lsd soaked hippy garble and beyond, he made the exceptionally crazed mix series called Hippies Smell. His blog promises to re-up some earlier sessions that have long since vanished from the web (mind you – he hasn’t updated it since 2007!). Here’s an example of his work. I’m sure i have some of the older volumes at home, so when i get time, I’ll post some more.

Another great find via Beat Electric, a vintage mix from one of the greatest DJs to ever come from the USA – Farley Jackmaster Funk.
“Farley Jackmaster Funk got his break in 1981 as one of the Hot Mix 5 DJs on WBMX, in Chicago. He was a guest DJ at the Warehouse and resident at the Playground. This mix from the mid 1980’s will blow your mind. It is amazing to hear so many styles of mixing done by one DJ. There are edits, mashups, and scratching along with straight mixing. Imagine hearing something this cutting edge on the Zapco stereo in your Datsun lowrider circa 1986.” – LeBaron

French beatmaker Onra made this superb mix for Rhythm Incursions. Now it’s making an appearance at the Skull! Highly recommended.
“This is 100% soul music, selected from original vinyls. I put a lot of my favorite songs in it… I didnt want to do the regular “beatmaker podcast” thing……. I think it’s boring and a lot of people do it better already. I called it simply soulful joints. There is no tracklisting.” – Onra
