Best tape/CD to ride to

[Steve_W]

Does anyone have specific music they listen to?  I can't concentrate with an iPod on, but I'm a lover of a boombox with Electro on it, or some other shit that was out when I was riding a lot, such as EPMD, PEs first LP, maybe Big Daddy Kane, UTFO etc.

I know a lot of people in BMX listen to thrash metal etc, (and loads of other genres I have no clue about) but to me Hip Hop & BMX will always go hand in hand, and to anyone that knows me from deejaying at KOC, you'll know I'm all over that Old School ish like batter on a fat birds fanny!

yeah i agree steve

old electro is ace to ride to

spesh if the beats are chopped up

a few of me favs are davy dmx "1 for the treble"....jonzun crew "space is the place"......cybotron "clear"

as for other stuff

gotta be dead kennedy,s "moral majority".....minor threat  "screaming at the wall"........sonic youth "white kross"

Vinoah's music taste is spot on as usual.

I like a bit of Black Flag - wasted, Dead Kennedys - Buzz bomb, Misfits - New York Rangers, Sonic Youth - Catholic Block, Ministry - Jesus built my hotrod.

Most old Mute or sst stuff is good to ride to, anyone who's seen the old Santa Cruz videos will know what I'm talking about.

If I'm in a more chilled out mood I ride to Big Youth, U roy, Dillinger and loads of 70's regge.

On the hip hop tip it's got to be early PE, NWA, any Bestie Boys, Eric B and Rakim.

Yo Fox, I see you mention dillinger, you mean D & B?  It proper gets me at it and I feel like I can double backflip flare 540 downturn kiss my ass jump over 10 busses.  In reality I can just about bunnyhop over that fat kid that lives at number 27!

Think I might just upload some of my old mixes and see how they go!

Yo Steve,This Dillinger:


I was thinking about hip hop, there was a band called New kingdom in the 90's, I've got to get some of their stuff on MP3 for riding, thats some heavy shit.

[highrisedrifter]

For me, it has to be Front 242, Front Line Assembly, Fear Factory, Faith No More, Die Krupps or music like that, basically.

I don't have one set album that I listen to, but I do like my Industrial music.

I'd love to ride to the old Electro beats but I only have the albums on tape and I don't have a tape player anymore.

I listen to Dillinger and various other old skool reggae dj's like Big Youth, U Roy & I Roy when I ride,  but for really get me going tunes it would have to be Chemical Brothers 'Dig your Own Hole' and very early Prodigy or Altern8
