Bobby Evans Presents: Delicious Vinyl 20 Years Fresh MiXXtape.

A few months ago I got a call from Delicious Vinyl and was invited down to their LA office to discuss the upcoming 20th anniversary of the label. I told them I’d be stoked to do a mixtape so they handed me the keys to the vault and showed me the way to the masters. I dug through the entire catalog for weeks in search of every rare remix, instrumental, and bside. I sifted through VHS tapes, cassette interviews and demos in search of hidden jams. After trading notes of favorites and previewing all the ideas for their upcoming remixxology records I hid away for a few weeks and pieced together this monster 52 track strong mix that spans the entire life of the label.

Cop it now, cop it later…

Masterminding the “MiXXTape” is L.A.’s Hip Hop production boy-wonder Bobby Evans. As half of the group Brother Reade (whose 2007 debut “Rap Music” lit up numerous year-end best-of lists), Evans skills prompted Stop Smiling Magazine to write: “Old school, gold school, new school, true school — [he takes] all of what’s great in Rap history and render it fresh, in every sense of the word.” From his home studio in L.A.’s Echo Park, Bobby Evans speaks on the project: “The biggest challenge was to make it all cohesive and make it have an arc, because I was dealing with so much music created over a long span of time. DV has such a diverse catalog, so to get the spirit of say, The Pharcyde and Def Jef to go with a Mr. Vegas Dancehall hit, I designed interludes to make the feeling flow together better.
