the dirt_dog says: What started out as fun turned in to an internet phenomenon (almost). I was attempting to supply King Megatrip with one track a week for an entire year. It might be hip-hop, it might be rock, it might be new, it might be old. It was basically whatever I was listening to at the moment that I enjoyed. But it had to be something that moved me enough to want to share it. Along the way I kept inviting friends to join my e-mail list, and some of those friends invited their friends. This brilliant mix by the King contains 44 of the 52 tracks from 2008.

king megatrip says: not sure I would go far as to say “brilliant” – but it was fun making a mixtape out of songs not of my choosing (and then adding the classic Megatrip Effects).

*also a big shout out here to Jonathan Hanst – the voice behind our POTW “informmercialS”…

enjoy!

Stunningly well stitched together, as ever, and good to hear the samplebank raided again. Kenny Rogers and DJ Yoda – together at last.

Can you please do a no-rawk edit ;o)

I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in… Enjoyed the mix!! 🙂 I’ve always loved that “Quannum (Lyrics Born & The Poets Of Rhythm) – I Changed My Mind” track… The voice samples were just great! Loved the rock-bits! 🙂 🙂 🙂 Still not enjoying the rap… I’m trying… Great mix though! 🙂 So great to hear Simon & Garfunkel on this mix! LOVELY! Those guys were just genuis! I LOVED the B-52’s remix/mash! That guitar lick is deep in my blood from many moons past. I enjoyed the eclectisism in this mix very much! (No single paradigm, oh, how I love that!)… great piece of work!
