For the fans of golden era hip-hop, dancehall, boom bap, reggae riddims…free mix + blends featuring Rayvon vs Don T, Lady Lee vs Nubian Crackers, Shabba Ranks vs KRS-One, Rudder Ranks vs Gang Starr and more!

Liquid Beat Records is proud to announce the free digital release of Matt Nelkin’s ‘Boombap Riddims’ mix & the accompanying individual blends that appear on it! Originally released at the end of 2010, the ‘Boombap Riddims’ mix and individual blends have previously only been heard via their physical formats, the limited edition Mix-CD and now sold out 12” single. A #1 top seller on Turntable Lab when it initially dropped, the ‘Boombap Riddims’ project serves as a tribute to the early and mid 1990′s when breakbeat driven instrumentals served as the sonic backdrop of choice for a golden era in Dancehall music. The ‘Boombap Riddims’ mix pays homage to some of the classics from the era alongside under-heard gems and a few exclusive “mash-ups” that blend beats and acapellas exclusively from the 90s to maintain the integrity of the project. The individual tracks features those same blends, plus one additional track, unmixed, edited, and extended for Dj use. ‘Boombap Riddims’ was certainly a labor of love being meticulously put together by Liquid Beat Records owner and Dj, Matt Nelkin. Liquid Beat Records is an independent record label informed by the past, with an eye towards the future. Vinyl releases, free digital releases, and Liquid Beat Radio DJ mixes can be found at:
