Premier On WBLS A by Fifth Element Online published on 2012-05-25T20:37:43Z When I did my original post about DJ Premier being at Soundset my plan was to do a special about this live radio mix. However, I couldn't find it. I looked in countless plastic bins, shoe boxes, and what have you, to no avail. I started to think I had imagined its existence...ha. I had actually convinced myself I was wrong and I had probably somehow confused this K-Def radio mix I had for being DJ Premier...which makes absolutely no sense, but the brain is strange that way... Anyway, a week later I was doing something else and stumbled upon this mix on accident and decided I should still share. When I used to travel to New York in the 90s I did all I could to capture every Hip Hop moment possible. My first 10 or so trips to New York I never did any normal tourist stuff; statue of liberty, empire state building etc.... That stuff never even crossed my mind, I was strictly focused on Hip Hop. If I wasn't out visiting labels, meeting artists, buying records or mixtapes or something like that. I also always tried to bring a Boom Box with me so whenever I was in the hotel or sometimes in the car (thanks to lots of batteries) I would be recording one of the various New York Hip Hop radio shows. Once such day of extremism yielded this mix. It's got some parts with some radio static and a few imperfections but mostly sounds pretty good...well, as good as a recording off a radio, in a hotel room or moving car, on a cheap tape can sound... DJ Premier shows so much style in how he does his thing live on the radio. This is probably a great example of what to expect when he rocks the wheels of steel this Sunday!
