Scotty Fox Mixes

theres some of mine from like 96-97 on here...and 2000.. not really what ur lookin for, but u can see their influence...

^^ Thanks for those Scotty. The ones labeled "kyld1, kyld2 and WILD_MIX_1997_MAX", I pretty much was trying to imitate that with my old Tascam 424 at home when I was a Junior and Senior in High School. Such dope sets!!!

Crazy transitions too... I loved the Josh Wink tranisition. "I am READY!"

Here are 3 Wild949 mixes circa 1999-2001 era, Alot of Electro, House, Latin and uptempo hits.... You might hear Sandstorm somewhere in these.

thx DJScottyfox...that RIM mix is a nice one...always enjoyed mixes where the djs put a little extra in making the mix...as opposed to record to record with simple blends and cuts...will check out the others as well

thx Audio1 for the share....I thought people forgot the thread

will share a few more goodies in a bit

Just got this recently from the homey Dino Rivera from Spintronix when he was a guest dj for KMEL back in the day. Really takin it back with the Love Lines & Party line.
www.mediafire.com

anyone know what happened to Rosary? she still doing radio? her midday slot along with Trace & Franny was just perfect.

hey thanks for putting those up... haven't had a chance to download em yet, but i'm definitely looking forward to it...

game recognize game... in the bay mayn, in the bay mayn, in the in the bay mayn...

Rosary just kinda disappeared, i dont know where she went.. but since you mentioned Love Lines, i'll bring the mood down and let you know Evan Luck passed away last week in Costa Rica...

Big shot to SPINTRONIX in the house, doin it live since 1985.

man, those 90s scotty fox mixes totally bring back memories

Scotty

Is that 'Head over heels' your own remix or is it on one of your comp mixes you put out back in the day?

i made it......just for the mix.. these mixes were made before i ever did the comp records..

Sorry to hear about Evan Luck. R.I.P.

I have them recorded on tape at home somewheres.... peep the edits he made on the sets. Funk Phenomena transition down.... Custom version of Jocelyn Enriquez... Good use of loops in pre-serato era. My homies said that SCOTTY FOX would actually produce and play keyboard over some of the Freestyle acapellas, like Alibis (before he snapped his copy in the club).

audio... ur homies lied... i didnt play keyboards or anything like that...lol... i just knew how to layer samples etc... and i didnt snap the alabyes 12"... i just took a lot of time to make the mixes, about a day each maybe......

and im eating string cheese

The 90's was a magical time.... Remember, Everyone claimed they could beat QBERT in a battle back then, because he was a made up fantasy until videos surfaced. LOL

Yo! You know what.. I remember listening to the party line on KMEL around 90-91 and someone was saying" man qbert is wack I'll out scratch that lil filipino any day" then everyone says to the guy" let's hear you scratch!" and dude put his phone to the speaker and started scratching. I can't remember if it was good or even better than Qbert's but recently I found out that the culprit was DJ FLARE! lol!

thx DJ Bran for the mix...Spintronix is a class act since the mid 80s...still have an original promo mix by them

k...here's the longer version of that DJ Theo mix...was infamous around these parts...but he had some enjoyable mixes...always like the Magic Mike intro of this one

www.zshare.net

keep those mixes comin'

The Bay area has some incredible DJ history!! I found this blog a while back... I wish they did more updates... legionsofboom.com Theres hella videos on YouTube now from Ladda Sounds (my mentor was part of this crew, DJ MK2 from Aim 2 Pleez), Spintronix, 3 Style and other Bay area crews from way back.

Watchwww.youtube.com heres a video i put together about the group I was in before Spintronix. All the footage is from around 91-94...

Dope video and mix.... The Best for last... Haha!

Damn, I think I remember listening that night. Or did they do that "guest mixers from around the country" thing more than once?

If memory serves me correct, one of them went all 'Everybody Dance Now!' by C+C Music Factory.

How come I don't remember Dave Moss?

I don't he was on the station very long before moving on...but he left an impression on some people

that was an inside joke for all my fellow group members...we were all class of 1992 Lowell and Saint Ignatius, and that song was the prom theme for both our Senior Proms.. so I had to put that in there for em... The Indian guy seen DJin a lot is Sunil Kapadia aka Prince K, a fairly successful house dj and partner in PercussionSF..

great video and the music was on point

I have a bunch of old reel to reels in my garage..lol

Oh yeah...Dave Moss left KMEL to go to work for Profile Records... he signed Dj Quick. Dave was a great Dj... Dr. Winkie owner of DV8 dicovered him back east and moved him to SF.

Found this on facebook kmelforever.com

btw when's the next bay area jammy jam??

that would be great to hear them again..

remember this?

The Late Nite Creep with Mixx Show DJs was a popular late night radio show on San Jose's Hot 97.7. On-Air Personality, Strawberry, with MIXX Show DJs: Vicious V, DJ Pleez, Rich Laxamana, Majestichris, Greg Lopez, Arturo Garces, Razor Rob, and Jazzy Jim.

--> Watchwww.youtube.com

Dope! We never got this station in Oakland. I know a couple of the DJs on there.When was this filmed?

ooops never mind. I just noticed the date. 1995!

I lucked out in Hayward. I was able to hear it... so I had Hot 97.7, Wild 107 and 106 KMEL plus the local college station mixshows. ;)

@SPAIR: Crazy how we know and work with a bunch of these cats today!

We are starting to age ourselves today. (Heading to Red Bull Thre3style battle to heckle at the DJ's. LOL)

Hhahahaaa! Ese Pollo!

I have a lot of archives :)

I used to listen to Steve Masters a lot on 105.3 back in the late 80s. I think he's a pro gamer now.

Steve Masters was legit. While he wasn't the most technical live mixer (his musical phrasing was off at times), he was clean and had the dopest, raddest, freshest record collection.

Will confirm Ingo's assessment...not super great in person but spot on with programming...nice guy to boot....

I saw Evan Luck of late 80s early 90s KMEL fame last night in Costa Rica, alive and well. He is the evening DJ at a station called Radio Dos. I talked to him about his time in the SF Bay. He is particularly proud of being the pioneer of Love Lines before the version with Adam Carolla, MTV, etc. So stop saying he is dead.

Thanks for listening Guys - Most of on this thread truly Rock.... Keep the underground alive!
