What’s up Good People,

I’m friggin’ grooving right now. I was listening to this mix, sending links to people and then it just dawned on me. Why don’t I share this shit with you?! Lemme know what you think and if you have a supadope mix to share, send it over.

It’s been a little minute since I’ve posted tunes, to be honest with you, I just straight up forgot that I had the ability to do such things. In this new super high tech world of direct messages, group chats and texts it really easy to forget the community. I’ve been finding a to of shit I want to share, I guess I’ll just share it here.

Peace,
Amon

Black Moon’s Enta Da Stage 25th Anniversary Mixtape by Chris Read

What’s Up Good People,

I don’t know about you but Black Moon’s Enta Da Stage album put me in quite a zone when it first dropped. It was released in 1993 and let’s see, if I do the math correctly, I was about 15 or 16. A lot was happening around that time. I had just gotten a new job sweeping up hair in a barbershop out in St. Albans. I was just starting High School and these were definitely the glory years for an abundance of “firsts”.

As I listen to this mix all of those memories just came rushing back dressed in army fatigue and black chukka boots from Jamaica Ave. If you’re a Black Moon fan, you will thoroughly enjoy this mix.

Best,
Amon

More Info

Released October 19th 1993, Black Moon’s classic debut LP ‘Enta Da Stage’ celebrates its 25th Anniversary this year. Produced entirely by Da Beatminerz, the album’s production style epitomises early 90s East Coast boom bap sonics with laid back, filtered jazz-funk samples meeting crunchy drums, cut choruses and gritty wordplay. In celebration of the anniversary we’ve teamed up once again with Wax Poetics magazine to present this exclusive mixtape pairing album tracks and remixes with their sample sources, interview snippets and more. Mixed by Chris Read.
