(a mahogany tree!) What better way to do a round-up of than post our favourite remixes posted over the last 12 months. After trawling through all the posts it's amazing to see how much good music came out and we only posted a fraction of what was out there. Anyway, below are our favourite remixes posted on The Mahogany Blog in 2010. 1. The xx - Crystalised (Neon Lights Remix) - download Smooth, sleek and out of all of the xx remixes over the [...]

damn son. 01 Limb By Tung (Cosmo Baker & Skratch Bastid's Harlem meets Jamaica mix) by cosmobaker

We were just over at Pigeons & Planes and heard this AMAZINGLY blazin' mix of a Cam'Ron & Vado and Cutty Ranks lyrics: During rehearsal for July 9th's Skratch Bastid Presents: LET'S BUILD w/ Cosmo Baker , Cosmo and I were playing the new Cam'Ron & Vado heatrock "Speakin' In Tongues" and Cos started chopping up different parts of the beat, flipping it inna dancehall stylee. We threw Cutty Ranks' immortal "Limb By Limb" acapella over top of it and it and instantly smoke filled the room and an airhorn sounded from the [...]

More craziness from Skratch Bastid . I like. During rehearsal for July 9th's Skratch Bastid Presents: LET'S BUILD w/ Cosmo Baker , Cosmo and I were playing the new Cam'Ron & Vado heatrock "Speakin' In Tongues" and Cos started chopping up different parts of the beat, flipping it inna dancehall stylee. We threw Cutty Ranks' immortal " Limb By Limb " acapella over top of it and it and instantly smoke filled the room and an airhorn sounded from the distance. Magical. We performed it live at the show to a great response. Here is [...]

Here's another old favourite from back in the day - if 'the day' was 6 or 7 years ago. Sounds like enough time to play the BITD card to me... regardless of how old it makes me feel. Oh my aching back. The joint in question is a right belter by The Nextmen by the name of 'Silent Weapon', a head, dancehall/hip hop hybrid which features the vocal talents of the one and only Cutty Ranks. I copped a copy of this bad boy on 7" around the time that the Get Over It [...]

We feel incredibly privelidged to receive so much music from all the corners of the globe and over the past few months we've felt that we may not have exposed enough of it as we should have. So we're excited to launch a new section within Mahogany that exposes the best of the best from our inboxes, mailboxes and pigeon holes. Here's the first batch. Savior Adore - Bodies (French Horn Rebellion Remix) - download Add straight to my DJ set list (that's if I actually [...]

Another One for the Road - Home T, Cocoa Tea, & Cutty Ranks It just occurred to me that I have only posted one song of the reggae genre so i felt that it was my responsibility to find a dope mellow reggae song in order to represent one of my favorite genres of music. Luckily i recently stumbled upon a dope song called "Another One for the Road" by Home T, Cocoa Tea, and Cutty Ranks. I love how the collaboration of their unique voices creates a very chill relaxing vibe.

First off, let me apologize for the lack of OSM-age last week. I hate to skip it, but time was scarce last weekend, and we wanted to ensure we got the awesome Paper Bag vinyl contest posted bright and early (as an aside, if you haven't entered that contest, do so now, as today will likely be the last day for it). But now we're back, and I wanted to return with a jumbo version to make up for last week's absence. But what to post? I was a little stumped for ideas, but [...]

This is my reggae remix of Limb By Limb over the Ice Cream Paint Job instrumental I whipped up. I played this in front of at leased 300 people at my monthly in Bmore and heads were feeling it.

Sticking with the latest genre mashing of dancehall/electronic/dub, Talen bring an awesome dance hall vibe that borders more on the electronic side, but gives it enough reaggaeton to get you Groovin'. Based in Switzerland, Talen, is 2 DJ's and 2 Producers (DJ Bux + DJ Aunt One + Upper Noise + Bobphonic) who have just released their debut EP, Kingston Book . Kingston Book features dancehall heroes Sizzla and Cutty Ranks taking vocal duties as well as remixes by Stereotyp and Markus Kienzl . [...]

A little piece of the 1990's died today. (Which is surprising, because I thought this was dead already.) Zima is no longer being produced! I was way too young to drink it when it was popular back in the mid-90s, but as a fan of wimpy drinks, I'm saddened by the loss. Anyway, I'm a little OCD about the way I organize my iTunes playlist. Every list is named after a specific relevant kind of alcohol, and it's all in alphabetical order(i.e.: 40 oz. it hip-hop, Amstel Light is my Amsterdam mix, [...]

From the people who brought the amazing "What Dreams Are Made Of" mixtape are back with a few originals and remixes. First off I wanna exclaim to the people who read this blog, how awesome The American Dream Team really is. People send me a lot of music and mixes, and I get excited on a regular basis... there's some real talent always poppin' into our mail box. But TADT? This shit is gold. Naw, fuck that. Platinum. First up: originals. Off their mixtape, "What Dreams Are Made Of" comes three really fucking hot [...]
Here's a vid for THE BUTT, who's comin home today from the Dominican Republic. A broseph just sent me YouTube of this Lufthansa flight landing in Munich.

New Fully Fitted track which dropped on MadDecent 's blog, and has been the 2nd hottest thing in my ear this week. Fully Fitted - 100 Million ( direct ) ( zShare ) [...]
