This week on Enjoy and Be Educated, we’ve decided to focus on one of hip-hop’s most prolific producers, Justin Smith aka Just Blaze. With over 10 years in the industry, he’s produced hits for Jay-Z, Fabolous, Faith Evans and The Beastie Boys just to name a few. His versatility and penchant for picking choice samples has enabled him to stand out from his competition. Included are some of his productions (some famous, some obscure), and an original sample set to highlight his style of production. This will be part of “The Beatography” series, so expect future episodes informing and entertaining the masses on similar producers with an ever-growing legacy. Enjoy and be educated!

In the early/mid 90s we were resident DJs at ‘Night of the Living Dudes’, a London club night dedicated to film music and soundtracks. We showed groovy psych visuals, had big screen projections, fantastic live bands and a great selection of soundtrack grooves to keep the dancefloor moving! Here’s a selection of the kind of sets we played at the time, from out-and-out blaxploitation funk through obscure surf sounds and mental psych groovers to mellow moods and the just plain weird. In a good way. Some well known, some compiled, still plenty of vinyl-only nuggets for hardcore DJs and collectors! As always, all from dusty original vinyl picked up from everywhere from Paris, Texas to Paris, France. – Ed The E-Man
