The Scissor Sisters and Tiga, I love them both begrudgingly. Here, Tiga brought some much needed acid breaks ruckus to the chic-est track from 4 years ago.
(Basement of Cheetah 2000) ALLNIGHTCLUBS.com was the dopest ghetto fab party pic website from back in the day. You know you're feeling that goatee (r.i.p.)
Here's an old mix of most of the freestyles that were done for me. Some are from my WNYU college radio show, The Archivists Hall Of Radio with Mike B & Augie, which ran from 1998-2001. Others are from my mixtape series released in the same period.

The B-Side to the original promo version of the track Flowers. Both tracks were amazing and neither ended up on the album due to sample clearance issues, leaving Bulletproof Wallets feeling a little flat, save for some Alchemist bangers. Ghost and Rae both demolish this track on some Cuban Linx caliber shit, unfortunately, very few people cared.

Mike B: Hey Jazzie, I've been a huge fan for many years and was wondering if you could clarify something for me. The "Back To Reality" remix of George Michael's Freedom, was it actually produced by you? Or was it just a bite? I've heard some record collectors refer to it as the Jazzie B remix, but you're not credited, which happens all the time. So I was wondering if George produced it, or if it was you? Thanks for your time. Jazzie B: Hey Mike That mix is nothing to do with the S2S camp. Hope that clears up that matter for ya. Regards
Here's one for my homie Emz. Many summers back, while I was djing a party, he came up to me and said "play the Jazzie B. remix of Freedom." I was like "Jazzie B Mix?" He said "yeah, it's the a-side on the Freedom 12 inch!" I'd owned the record since 1990, but I'd always just played the original which was on the b-side. Though Jazzie B and Caron Wheeler get writng credits (due to the interpolation of Back 2 Life), George himself is credited with being the producer and remixer. I sent a message to Jazzie on myspace, but have not heard back yet.(If anyone knows anymore about this, please leave a comment.) I didn't play it that night and Emz actually got really angry at me on some I thought we were friends type shit, so now I'm doing a whole post, I hope that makes up for it. Also, this song is even better than a DMX video for hyping both gays guys and hip-hop kids.
On the plane ride to Dallas today, I did an edit of one of my favorite bass tracks. Wink D's - Get Busy (1989 - Insane Beat). It seemed like a good move seeing as she's from Texas. Maybe I'll play it tonight so people can throw oil and horse shoes at me. I dunno.
The Knish Hit Squad made an appearance on Blu Jemz's Turntable Lab Radio for Scion Broadband. We do a very random mix and interview and the other guest is Pase Rock! Check It. You just gotta scroll down the list of shows. It's all Flash so it's kinda hectic to navigate and there's no fast forwarding etc.
Also, I have a Moob.com interview up. It's kinda hard to tell where the questions end and where the answers start but thanks to my main mang Oliver for conducting the interview and showing a lot of support.
This was the B-Side to Catch The Break, which a huge anthem in 97, at least in the UK & LA breaks scene. The Jedi Knights was Tom Middleton (Global Communication, The Mod Wheel) and Mark Pritchard and this track was featured on several compilations including Derrick Carter's classic Cosmic Disco Mixmag mix.
During a good dig session at a NY record spot, DJ Duane handed this to me and said "This is where all those french dudes got their whole shit from." I listened, and kinda saw what he meant. Though it's obvious that this isn't the ONLY source, one can easily see that everyone from Alan Braxe to Chromeo to Superfunk came across this record at some point.
