MJ143 Heavy Handed by Danny Tweek

About The Mix

     Once Shane MacGowan while giving an interview to some music magazine said that Jamaicans and Irish are similar in the sense that they both like to drink, dance, party and listen to the music. So this week we got an eclectic mixture by Danny a.k.a dj Tweek - producer and turntable wizard from Ireland. Anyone who heard and remember past mixes in MJ selection by Irish dudes, like Deviant and Naive Ted (who is fact Tweek's colleague in turntable quartet Vince Mack Mahon) or MynameisjOhn, should sharpen their ears.
     Again this is a mixtape for and by hip-hop head with enough experience and width of view to notice how well this culture blends with lots of different sounds and influences. Tracklist consists of various classic and weird stuff, filtered through the fingers of good technician and selecta. Although hip-hop makes the biggest part in percentage, but it is only in sense of one concrete style. And if you talk about stylistic in general it is covered with the layer of funk, rock, electronics, jazz, spoken word, asian sounds and other attractions.
     Heavy Handed start of a week bringing suspicion of unexpected.
