A Decade of Mochilla (Part One) Mixed by Coleman (MP3)

VTech is proud to present, A Decade of Mochilla, an epic mixture, spanning Mochilla’s 10 Years Mixed into on mixture and shared with you in two parts.  This is part one…

Mochilla is really more than ten years old.   It was 1998 when Coleman and I explained to our Mexican producer on the set of the Control Machete video for lleso that we would only shoot with the equipment that fit in our backpack. It was a Jansport (for clarity!). He replied…”Oh ok, you guys are the Mochila guys, Mochileros.” Of course we loved the word mochilla (the Spanish for backpack) but apparently didn’t know how to spell it thus the two Ls!

Cut Chemist “Adidas to Addis” (MP3)

Cut Chemist has a new mix album and a new steez. The CD, Sound of the Police, is a mix inspired by the sounds of Africa and South America, recorded live during a rehersal for Mochilla’s ‘Timeless’ concert series opening for Ethiopian legend Mulatu Astatke. The steez is that instead of the typical two turntable set-up, Cut has developed his own system of mixing records using one turntable and a loop pedal. Pretty sneaky sis.

“Adidas to Addis” is an original track taken from the mix. Consider it a taste of Cut’s original full-length that will be dropping we hope by the end of the year.
