CRDS Presents-Da 94 Fat Funk Flav Vol 1

Here is the first volume of CRDS Presents-Da 94 Fat Funk Flav...a collection of some personal faves (Hip Hop and some Trip Hop) that I used to rock on compilation tapes, on radio and in clubs/bars and at gigs and in record stores.

The late, great Flipside Records (fat shout out to Jammo and Andee) opened their first store that Easter Weekend in Victoria Street, Wellington in 1994 and I had such a blast working at that and their old Willis Street store, we had so much dope music come through both stores and most of my pay went on records and CD's and magazines (and booze and weed)...at least I am honest haha...

I did pretty much all of the Hip Hop ordering through an outlet I have completely forgotten the name of haha and later in '96 with Fat Beats and around '95 with Beat Street (RIP) and also a UK label that  supplied a great deal of Trip Hop and Electronica, there always an abundance of truly talented DJ's and dedicated heads that would stop by for a chat and buy a bunch of the latest records, CD's etc and we often had DJ's on the decks get busy at both stores... and as it happens in life, I used to own a lot of photos of that store and some of my times there but unfortunately they got lost along the way...oh well at least I still have some old Flipside bags and the trusty old Flipside record bag, which was often referred to as my briefcase.

I racked my brain a little to remember certain tracks that I kind of had forgotten about and most of the artists on this compilation are still making dope music and some have sadly passed while others have just vanished into the ether or left Hip Hop and music altogether (Craig Mack I'm looking at you lol)

Hope you enjoy the trip down memory lane, I remember owning a lot of these recordings on cassette tape (mixtapes and home made compilations) at some stage, some on wax and the rest on CD which are in storage...if all or any of these are tracks are new to you...then enjoy equally fam. 

Also peep this dope NME post from the legendary J-Zone

RIP to the late, great Charizma and Guru

The CRDS Fat Tape Vol 23 and Adagio EP

Ayoooo I want to wish a very Happy New Year to all of my readers and subscribers of this blog and my CRDS Radio page, I wish I could do more at my blog but I don't have a great deal of time so please bear that in mind for a lack of posts lately.

I sense that this year is going to be a pretty great one and I am excited about the fact that we get to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of so many classic Hip Hop album releases  
ReadyTo Die, Illmatic, Stress: The Extinction Agenda, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, 6 Feet Deep, Super Tight, Dare Iz A Darkside, A Constipated Monkey, Hard To Earn, The Most Beautifullest...Ill Communication, Resurrection, The Main Ingredient, Boxcar Sessions, The Beatnuts, Word...Life, The Dairy, Between a Rock and a Hard Place, Blowout Comb, Regulate...G Funk Era, Breakin' Combs, Ahmad, Fear Itself, No Mercy, Everything Is Everything,The Sun Rises In The East, Tical, Like it Should Be, Lost In Brooklyn etc etc

Phew just those listed albums should spell out exactly how incredible 1994 truly was!

I will be dropping various compilations of dope 94 ish (and not just Hip Hop ones) that you might have missed or known by heart and of course I'll document the year ('94) over the year and I'll continue with the monthly Kibbles and Bits video section and the compilations if that is all good with you? ;)

I also wanted to give a special shout out to the Heavy Jewelz Records Records crew who keep releasing pure gems on their ill label and next up is raw material from the slept on and somewhat elusive (I have never once seen a photo of this crew. but Verge said he might see if he can get me one lol) Adagio (Big Cousin and Reign Supreme)...
