A-T-4 147 Cut Ups & Megamixes
No posts for a while because I've not been well (plus I fell down a rabbit hole writing a long read, hopefully that'll be done by the end of the year!)
1984 was a great year for Cut Ups and Megamixes building on the work of pioneer DJs like Shep Pettibone and his radio show on Kiss FM, Chuck Chillout and Red Alert also on Kiss, the Latin Rascals on WKTU, Marley Marl on WBLS's Mr Magic's Rap Attack. Outside New York carving their own path Hot Mix 5 and Steve "Silk" Hurley are killing it on Chicago radio station WBMX. In Florida the crew Jam Pony Express have begun playing live shows
In the UK Sanny-X is DMC's megamixer and Street Sounds Electro series are being mixed by Herbie Laidley, better known as Mastermind Herbie, the man behind The Rapologists
This is post Double Dee & Steinski, Malcom McLaren And The World’s Famous Supreme Team, Art Of Noise, and Herbie Hancock's Rockit. You can clearly hear their influence in the cut ups and mega mixes from this year
Getting mixed is Hip Hop, Electro, Synth Pop, Disco, and Italo
youtube
(Orig.) Big Apple Production Vol.II - Genius At Work like many of these bootleg megamixes the people involved stay in the shadows. This one is of course the work of the Latin Rascals doing what they did on their radio show
youtube
DJ Chuck Chillout - Hip Hop On Wax Vol. I for Vincent Davis's Vintertainment. Chuck Chillout was in The B Boys who had released the cut up track Cuttin Herbie (literally cutting up Rockit) the year before. They also released two other classics in 1983 imo Rock The House and Two, Three, Break. Chillout would return to Two, Three, Break under the name DJ Born Supreme Allah in 1985 with the more explicit cut up Two, Three, Break (Part II - The Sequel)
youtube
DJ Red Alert - Hip Hop On Wax Vol. II Red Alert goes berserk on the follow-up to Chuck Chillout's effort - he even cuts in what sounds like The B Boys. Sorry this is the best Youtube clip I can find. Red Alert is a DJ for the disgraced hip hop architect Afrika Bambaataa's Universal Zulu Nation and in 1983 he joined Kiss FM's Master Mix Party, which was originally Shep Pettibone's spot on Kiss. Tony Humphries was the first to take the ropes from the increasingly busy Pettibone and in 1983 Red Alert would alternate with Humphries
youtube
D.ST - Megamix II: Why Is It Fresh? The Grand Mixer who provided the scratching on Herbie Hancock's Rockit. I thought I knew what Megamix II was a sequel of but now I'm not so sure. Anyway D.ST brings together his hits along with half a dozen other Celluloid tracks
youtube
Z Rock Records - Scratch Party #2 first of three mixes coming from the West Coast. Z Rock Records released three Scratch Party megamixes in 1984. Who knows who put these together
youtube
Ian Darby - Break City 7" edit bonkers record by Bobby Orlando who had been trying his hand at hip hop/electro/Art Of Noise style production. There's a longer 12" version but the 7" is tidier. Not really cut up, certainly not a megamix, but I felt it sat alright on this list because of it's nutball samples
youtube
Scratchmatic - Sound Of The Street by DJ Antron who Discogs tells me won the first DJ Battle held in Los Angeles at the famous Radiotron event. It shows a preference for the techno style
youtube
New York Scratch Masters - Scratchmasters Jam #1 the Italo the mix begins with is more like what Hot Mix 5 were doing in Chicago but not as good. Jam #1 would be followed by three more in 1984 and the final Jam #5 in 85. Jam # 4 (The Rap) is pretty great
youtube
Mix-Trix #3 The Break Mixer the first Mix-Trix 12" was released in 1983 with another three coming in 1984. Apart from it coming out of LA I have no info on these
youtube
Marley Marl on Mr Magic's Rap Attack in 1984

Looking for some advice and/or recs... I have the parts (PTs, OPTs, chokes and tubes) for a 2A3 amp build - either one stereo or two mono blocks - and have been considering the Baby Ongaku or Shishido style LW. Curious if there are any other inspiring circuits I should look at. I'd like to have a minimum amount of components in the signal path and low wattage is fine. Leaning toward cap coupled for the sake of safety if a tube failes, but maybe I'm blowing it out of proportion. Thanks!
Your name sounds familiar, didn't you DM me before about this? Anyway, the Baby Ongaku is simply a variation of the SRPP topology which I've done with 6SL7s. I've also built a morrison micro 2A3 which is a Loftin-White variant. The Radiotron SE2A3 and the Choke Capacitance Coupled 2A3 are the two circuits I currently use. Best if you try them all and decide which works best in the context of your set up. Good luck!

Welcome to September! The Hagley Library is starting off the month with some  highlights from the September, 1931 issue of RCA’s Good News about RCA Radiotrons magazine. This publication was issued by RCA and distributed to dealers and service shops that sold Radiotron vacuum tubes to help them promote and sell the product to the public.
RCA Radiotron was a subsidiary of the Radio Corporation of America (RCA). Prior to its formation in 1930, RCA had no facilities for manufacturing its own vacuum tubes for its popular line of radios, and instead acted only as distributing agent for tubes made for the company by other large manufacturers, particularly General Electric and Westinghouse. Soon after the subsidiary was formed, however, RCA Radiotron became the largest producer of radio tubes in the world, which, for RCA, was good news indeed.

A day late but in addition to Hiphop’s 47th birthday yesterday, the firt #Radiotron also occured on the same day 37 years ago! We have also had the pleasure of organizing an event through Carmelo Alvarez in the past. Salute! 💫 • #Repost @savethehiphopculture ・・・ 37 years ago today, Southern California would contribute to the Hip Hop Culture by opening up the doors to a historic spot named Radiotron. Radiotron was originally a night club in 1980 but was turned into a community center in 1983 which focused on bringing the youth together through Hip Hop Culture. Radiotron was home to some of Hip Hop's pioneer pop lockers, emcees, graffiti writers, and bboys such as Ice T, Air Force Crew, LA Breakers, Shake City Rockers, Fabulous Lockers , and several others. So much history in NY for Hip Hop and hardly any mentions of any West Coast pioneering grounds. Well, Radiotron. . Salute Carmelo Alvarez, Chris “The Glove” Taylor and everyone else who contributed in a major way. . Sektah3.

Nanotube, turncoat for the ask meme?
“Oh, I would. I would, trust me. More than anything I’d want to go back to the Decepticons and carve out my position as a loyal Decepticon general that should be feared at all costs. But because fragging Moonkiller decided to throw me across the battlefield and right into an Autobot’s arms, I’m stuck-” she punches a tree- “working with a bunch of traitors on some dusty asteroid, because apparently killing an Autobot counts as a war crime back on Cybertron Original. Megatron himself is here and I can’t even get any recognition by telling the Decepticons that he’s alive, because I’m too far away to send any sort of signal to them without leaving my boundaries assigned to me as an RWT! As much as I want to leave them, I don’t want the shock collar.”
She sits down on the ground, grabbing fistfuls of rocky earth below her and throwing them.
“I didn’t even want to take off my Decepticon symbol in the first place. But I had to, as part of becoming an RWT. I refuse to let the Radiotron brand go where that Decepticon brand was, because even if I’m stripped of my brands and demoted to war criminal and RWT, there’s nothing that’ll force me to leave the Decepticon cause behind.”
