5.0 out of 5 stars Bad Boy Joe really digs in the crates for this one!, April 15, 2004

This review is from: Bad Boy Joe Presents: Best of Freestyle Megamix 4 (Audio CD)

Being a DJ for over 16 years I can appreciate Joe's work and the approach that he takes on all of his mixes. I own all 6 volumes and each one is masterfully done from a DJ prespective with perfect multi dubbing, editing and mixing reminiscent of old Latin Rascals, Andy Panda, Lewis A Martinee and Chep Nunez style of mixing. This style of mixing requires great creativity and talent which is something Joe seems to posses as he takes on every mix with relentless technique on this compilation of classics. The beats are right on track and the multi editing and dubbing is flawless. I must say the old school B-boy tracks put in the mix in volume 4 are my favorites, B-boy breaker jams like Looking for the perfect beat, Play that beat, I.O.U., Play at your own risk, Jam on it etc. were long overdue for someone to put on a new mix. I hope more of these Electro funk jams of the early 80's are in store for future volumes. The rest of the cd was great overall although I felt the song I'll house you did not belong on this mix and should have rather been held for a future classic ultimate house mix. Still I must say this is some of the best freestyle mixing I have ever heard aside from Albert Cabrera (Ex-Latin Rascal) and one which I'll keep following as long as the music selection remais off the hook as it has until now in all 6 volumes and as long as Bad Boy Joe Masters the mix like only he can. Keep it up Joe!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! Take me back...way back!, November 14, 2003

Incredible!...That's all I can say. When Bad Boy Joe said "Back To The Old-School"...he wasn't kidding. Man...songs like "Set It Off", "Jam On It", "White Lines" really take me back to those great club days of the early 80's. And I absolutely love that track "Din Daa Daa" by George Kranz. I've been searching for a c.d. with that song for just about forever.

Joe has done it again with some of the greatest songs that show where Freestyle music really evolved from...and mixed them the way only he knows how to do.

My hats off to you again Joe...You are the MAN! And I'd give this star 10 stars if I could. I can't wait 'til Volume 5.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay mix, February 19, 2008

This mix CD was just okay for me. The first track is a mix of all the tunes used on the CD, which is a waste of space, and the tunes used were more house flava than the ol' skool I was looking for.
