As you know, we are great fans of mixtapes here at chrome music!
So that being said, here is a great live mix of rare soul and funk breaks by DJ Matthew Africa. I stumbled upon this via dear friend and regular YUM YUM guest DJ Eleven.

Skratch Bastid & The Gaff Present: “SOUL SISTERS, STAND UP!” (PART 1/2)
“This Is A Journey Into Sound: Listen! Love! Learn! A Nonstop 80-minute Mix From 2 of Canada’s Most Sanctified Selectors” /// **100% Female Funk, Soul, R&B & Breaks**
note from chromemusic: THIS IS BRILLIANT!!!
chromemusics favourite rapper right about now, has to be XV with already a mean bunch of stellar tunes under his belly but still underrated – we need to change that. Seriously, lyricwise this dude stole summer with his latest mixtape. In anticiption of his ‘official’ EP release “Awesome” on June 26th he released this Mixtape as a (i guess) teaser, you know how it goes… but this ones real hot and makes all the other mixtapes and pre-releases pale in comparison. guys like B.o.B, Schoolboy Q, Emilio Rojas, Slim The Mobster give him a little assistence on the mic. i’m putting this on right now and am listening to it.. again and again… DOWNLOAD the FULL MIXTAPE here.
More XV on chromemusic and definitely much more coming and also i am gonna post all his old material, almost everythings postworthy.
As usual, here are a couple of my favourites:

PSPSPSPSPSPSPSPS – Other cats normally put all those tunes on their Mixtapes that don’t make it on their Albums. XV got tunes that didn’t make it on his Mixtape! And its one of th sweetest tunes out there.
Sorry for being a little late on the track lists. But I was busy spending some time offline on a long overdue vacation and just wasn’t able to put it online in-between two gigs and recording my mixtape. Nuff said… here we go.
You’ll find the original post right here.
Chromemusic turns 7 today! And we are having a celebration tonight for our family & friends and i guess we are gonna have too much fun like Charlie Murphy (facebook addicts go here). And here, are as promised, 7 new mixtapes by most of our djs (act. 8), of course some are still missing but who cares. And we just realized like 3 days ago that this weeknds our 7th anniversary with the website, so thanks to everyone involved for doing this on such short notice, inbetween traveling, working, love affairs, studying, break ups, moving houses and what not. The results are amazing. Schowi even did his mixtape on a train! And i had to lend a helping hand (recording wise) to some of our guys so there was zero time for a mix of mine, but i just put this one (YUM YUM The Dude Mix) online last week so no complaining k? You are gonna like what our guys had to offer. PS We are gonna do this again and way more often, cause its just too much fun!!! Proud of my people right here, aaaand as always LISTEN, LOVE & DOWNLOAD

(this is truly the only existing photo with all of us on it, finishing dinner before a show, but still a few missing – me, palina, kami, steffen, actually a whole lot missing, but everyone who contributed a mixtape is on this picture, one way or another..)
ps all tracklists after the jump
We get sent so much music every single day, and we hardly have time to go through it, just by the sheer amount of it. I took some time out to check the latest stuff we got sent and honestly a huge percentage is simply not up my alley, but there is some great music along the mails. And here let me share some it with you. ps to all the artists and promoters, thx for sharing this material with our readers.
1. Lets start with the Soundcloud material
Benjamin Francis Leftwich:
Benjamin Francis Leftwich – Pictures by Mud Hut Digital
we have featured the Vacans before, here is their take on an old Nina Simone tune:
What’s a Woman To Do? (Feat Nina Simone) by Vancans
a fine glitch hop dubstep tune with some weird attitude to mit, like it:
SPACE BIRD // DYSPHEMIC // GLITCH HOP by Dysphemic
J-Nolan delivers this nice hip hop tune
J.Nolan- How it Feels(prod. Tuelv) by manifestmovement
Nostalgia 77 is finally back with their new beautifull anthem “Simmerdown”
Nostalgia 77 – Simmerdown by Mud Hut Digital

2. Material via Dwnld Sites and direct mp3s:
I) Good friend Maxey from Barcelona sent me his “Latin Flavored Fire Spring Strut” which you can buy here at Soul Seduction . Here is a teaser tune:
II) Good old buddy Dj Vadim contacted me just recently, he found out who was behind these YUM YUM parties, lol and he was also attending one in Cologne, when i was there, but on a more (or less) serious note: The mans been busy as always and came up with a new album that he sent me through. The Project is called “The Electric” and we are gonna have a full on feature this week. Here is a tune i selected as a ashort preview:

3. Mixtapes we get sent
We get far too many mixtapes and i noticed this one cause it had a direct relation to us, since two of my tracks are featured on it. Too bad the soundcloud link wasnt shareable, i had to download it, then reupp it plus convert it to make it a bit smaller. too much handling fella, but anyways its a nice mix of tunes that i like and here is what Dj Create wrote: “Hey, I’ve been loving your blog for a while now, and there’s a few tracks on this mix that I originally found through you guys, so have a listen, let me know what you think!”
Dj Create – Message In A Bottle Mixtape
Tracklist via his Soundcloud site

4. Videos people send us
Some really entertaining material here – enjoy. start it off with a nice hip hop tune, thats way better than the video, but amateurism is the new professionalism, if i dare measure that by the black eyed peas Superbowl gig, lol. this guys reallly on point with this neat tune. ps dude send the mp3 through…
Nostalgia 77’s “Simmerdown” is simply awesome:
