This Thursday at The Fix...

After catching wreck on dozens of 45-only (aka donuts) Hip-Hop sets worldwide, Peanut Butter Wolf has gotten together with the good folks at Five Day Weekend to put together this insane collection of 10 Rap 45’s packaged in a beautiful heavy-weight collector’s tin. The 20 classic Hip Hop cuts, personally hand picked by PBW and taken from such iconic labels as Enjoy, Sleeping Bag, Fresh, Cold Chillin’, Strong City and many more are guaranteed to not only put a smile on the face of any avid Old School Hip Hop fan, but also provide a great introduction to the golden era for any Rap fans of the new millennium.

“This project is such a great honor for me to be involved with. This is one of the crowning moments of my music career, seriously. As a kid growing up in San Jose , CA when all this stuff was coming out, I was hooked and half a lifetime later I still am. I can only imagine what these songs sound like to a teenager today hearing them for the first time, just as they probably wonder what it was like for someone like me to have heard them for the first time back when it was all happening. I've also always wondered what it was like to grow up in one of the five boroughs in Hip Hop's infancy in the 80s. These songs were the closest I got to knowing.”

— Peanut Butter Wolf

See ya tomorrow,

OCT 16 ROCKBOX RECORD RELEASE PARTY @ HOLOCENE!

Rockbox Dance Party proudly presents their first party rocking vinyl EP. DJ Kez, Dundiggy, and Matt Nelkin have decided to take Portland's bubbling nightlife scene one step higher and press up some of their own custom edits that have been crowd favorites at their sureshot night, Rockbox. In order to share some of those bangers, they hit the studio and are now releasing their first dj-friendly blends 12".

The Rockbox Dance Party Blends EP features 8 bar intros, beefed up drums, remastered and sometimes hard-to-find acapellas, along with a variety of styles and tempos. This isn't just a straight up blends record. Working djs will find that this record is just what they need to mix the classics with the progressive.

From Pitbull, to Erykah Badu, to Beenie Man and more, the diversity of this release reflects upon their multi-genre and forward thinking club night.

Join us for the record release party Friday October 16, and every third Friday at one of Portland's favorite dance clubs, Holocene. Holocene is located at 1001 SE Morrison St., Portland, Oregon.

Look out for the Rockbox Dance Party Blends 12" at a store near you! Or pick it up online at 360vinyl.com.
