Mixpak FM 034 comes straight from our own hood, from Brooklyn's XXXChange. After catching people's eyes (or rather, ears) with his production on Spank Rock's debut album, he has since produced and remixed for a heap of huge names, from The Kills to Kool Keith, including this favorite of ours, his dancehall remix of TV On The Radio's 'Will Do'.
Normally taking a backstage role, this year he's finally stepped out with his first solo EP, Bounce, on DJ Ayres' & Tittsworth T&A Records, the description of which could read much like that of his Mixpak FM mix - a large offering of electro and some hot remixes.

Mixpak FM 033 comes from London's Famous Eno. Once part of Warrior One - who released their Lord of Bashy EP on Mixpak in 2010 - he is now going it alone and will be releasing his first solo single, 'All Good FM', with us this summer.
His Mixpak FM embodies both his influences and the concept behind 'All Good FM' - slipping in between new undergound UK sounds, classic ragga, grime, hip hop and soul, surfing genres like a radio dial and intersecting the music with farflung soundbites. The mix explains itself...and watch for the preview of his Mixpak track!

Mixpak 028 comes from the one and only DJ Assault, Detroit dirty rap linchpin and the father of Booty Bass. Most people will be familiar with Assault through his mid-90s booty hit, 'Ass N Titties', pioneering the sound of melding electro beats with raunchy lyrics. His first self-run label, Electrofunk, was so popular that it had to be split into a further two labels, after selling more records than any other techno artist in the motor city at the time. After releasing countless club hits (and performing as his rap alter-ego Craig Diamonds on the side), Assault established his latest label Jefferson Ave.
DJ Assault's Mixpak FM mix is a ride through 28 of his own productions, all mixed together in the token ghettotech fast-paced style. Watch out for his signature out-there sampling, from Rick James to raccoons. This one comes with a parental guidance warning!

Mixpak 026 is brought to you by NYC's AC Slater, member of the Trouble & Bass crew and head of the Party Like Us label. His first major EP, Jack Got Jacked, released on Palms Out in 2008 dropped with a bang, and he has since been in hot demand for remixes and co-production across the world, delivering for Crookers, Boys Noize and more recently with Big Sean, Bart B More and Drop The Lime. He is as comfortable making dubstep as he is rave-inspired tracks and funky house and probably also holds the title of having the only huge club tune based around a sandwich.
His Mixpak FM offering gives you an idea of his club set: Tomb Crew to Torro Torro, Beyonce to Big K.R.I.T, alongside his own remixes and those from the T&B fam. Big Brooklyn bass.
