DJ Premier's Michael Jackson Tribute Mix

Michael Jackson Tribute Mix by Dj Premier Blog Radio on Mixcloud

It's mad to think that it's already a year since MJ's death. Granted, he was a proper weird character, and obviously had some issues, but his music (as well as his influence on the music scene) was legendary.

To pay tribute, I thought I'd post up Primo's mix from last year. Packed full of classic material, this has to be one the best tribute mixes out there. R.I.P. MJ.

DJ 33 1/3 "Tribute to Guru" (Video Mix)

Just stumbled upon this dope video mix from DJ 33 1/3, who pays tribute to Guru. In his words:

I did this a couple of weeks ago and was just going to sit on it…but It’s now been a full month since Guru passed and I still have a hard time believing he’s not here. I am a big fan of Guru/ Gangstarr, so this is how I paid my respects. The mix is just under 50 minutes long, enjoy.

Stevie Wonder's Michael Jackson Tribute (Video)

I really want a Talkbox!

Via Rock The Dub

R.I.P. Michael Jackson

If you take away the crazy plastic surgery, the scandals, and the erratic behaviour, you're left with a legendary artist, whose impact on the music game was incredible. I can't think of a single person who didn't want to learn how to do the moonwalk. "Thiller" was - and still is - a classic album.

R.I.P. the King of Pop.

P.S. For those in central London, there's apparently a "mass moonwalk" occurring at Liverpool Street later today at 6pm. More info here.

BONUS! A couple of my favourite MJ tracks...





EXTRA BONUS! An 8-Bit version of "Beat It"
