Chokin


















This was a track Mysterio served up for Analytical back at the turn of the century.  Originally chopped up on a Vestax sampler mixer this version was eventually filtered through the ASR-10 soundbanks.

The Killers - Video











The Killers











Another Mysterio Movie Madness Musical creation. This time he was inspired by the themes of revenge in films. The song is filled with three different guitars, three pianos and bass with drums providing back up halfway through.

Vocal dialogue was extracted from the follwing movies in which the pivotal characters utter their own words of revenge: The Limey, The Professional, True Romance, Rated X, Crank, Goofellas, Reservoir Dogs, Jackie Brown and Money Talks.

Strictly Beats: Chubb Rock - The Big Man


I love this track.  Takes me way back into the summers in the 1990's.  Just like Biz Mark's "Spring Again" this song always makes its way on my summer and spring time mixes.

Strictly Beats: Molemen - Yee Haw


Another joint from the Molemen.  This track is simple yet extremely effective.  Doom ripped the track in half on the 12" but would later deliver a "weaker" flow to the version that would appear on the "Mm... Food" album.  Anyhow - the beat still stands out.

Strictly Beats: RZA for GZA - 4th Chamber


When I first heard this track it was when I was deeply blunted in the bomb shelter. If I close my eyes I can take myself back to that time when Wutang beats were gritty and they were all produced by RZA. I won't delve too much into breaking down the track here but I will say that upon each listen it fills my heart with joy or bloodlust.

Strictly Beats: Dr. Dre - The Formula



















Dr. Dre came up with this track for the D.O.C. using Marvin Gaye's classic song "Inner City Blues" as the back bone.  The 808 kicks with ease as Dre sprinkles some synth type flutes for the chorus.  Will always remain one of my top favorites by him during his early days of production.

Strictly Beats: DJ Quik - Just Like Compton


DJ Quik is definitely one of the most slept on producers in the game. At least in the game of yesteryear. I have to admit I have not kept consistent with his current output but this joint right here definitely made me a fan of the music he created throughout the nineties and at the turn of the century. This track filled with sleigh bells and wah wah guitars brings me back straight to the summer of 1992.

Strictly Beats: Large Pro - Still Hangin' Out




















The Main Source album "Breakin' Atoms" is a landmark masterpiece in hip hop.  It led the way for other jazz influenced groups and solo artists for years onward.  Large Pro decided to go back in time, and like George Lucas, did a little revising on the classic song "Just Hangin' Out".  Always one of my favorites and this update is very well done.

Velvet Moon












Dark pianos and weird vibes ride the wild drum track that Mysterio composed back in 1993.
