DJ Mark Marcelo - The Ignant Mix (Full Review)

DJ Mark Marcelo - The Ignant Mix
Got the whole mix in the mail the other day, and it's dope as fuck-- PURE ENERGY. DJ Mark Marcelo dropped a fucking bomb with this mix, providing us with the the most definitive document to date of the hyphy movement. Kicking it off is the '(Last Season) Hyphy Workout, an audio snapshot of previous years hit singles and slaps, when hyphy was begining to emerge as a distinct sound out of the New Bay marketing ploy. It's a great introduction, and really shows what this mix is all about-- exposing the listener to the new sounds of the Yay Area. This isn't your dad's mob music, this is high speed dance music replete with blappin sub-bass, soaring synths, sirens, whistles, and crazy ass bay area rap and slanguage.

You can check the tracklist below the review, but heres a quick summary: The brunt of the mix kicks off with Kinsmoke - Do the On One and from there into E-40 - Da Dummy, two of the most acclaimed hyphy tracks out right now. The mix ebbs and flows into blaps and slaps new and older, but all mixed with DJ Mark Marcelo's impeccable ear for keeping the mix live and hype. Theres a couple slow moments, but the mix is jam packed with so many tracks that even the laid back slumps quickly morph into the next high bpm blap. This shit is so danceable that even paraplegics get to giggin.

If you've been checking Get Stoopid for a while, you'll probably recognize, and have, a lot of these tracks. But you probably don't have all of them (shit, even I don't) and regardless-- you don't have them all mixed together in one Nonstop Dance Party 2005. For that, the mix is easily worth the price of 6 dollars. This shit slaps in the trunk, in a house party, or in your headphones/boombox while you goin dumb out the window of the yellow bus. The people that will truly benefit from this mix are those who are still unfamiliar with hyphy music. I've already heard numerous tales from people who have played the preview of the mix for their friends and converted occasional mainstream rap fans into sloppily giggin hyphy dance fiends.

This mix documents what is a source of pride for people all over the Bay Area: OUR music and OUR culture, and that is our gift to the world. So hit up DJ Mark Marcelo's website and buy this shit, and if you're still on the fence then download the first third of the mix, and then go over to homeboy's site to cop that shit, YOU BEEZY!

Can you please let me know how to get a copy of DJ Mark Marcelo's Ignant Mix CD? I have been looking forever! I'll even buy the CD. A vendor in NY was selling it but they told me they do not have it anymore even though it is still listed on their website. Thank you so much for your help.
