PICTURED FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: AVI SHACK, HUBBZ, U-TERN & EVO
Been meaning to post this for a minute since Avi sent it to me but I've been way too busy(and pretty forgetful....). This is a mix from Avi's radio show THESE ARE THE BREAKS. This just isn't any mix it's his 10 yr Anniversary mix. The show has been going for almost thirteen years now! A lot of heads tune into this show each and every friday from 12-1pm(up until last year he would rock out form 12-2pm!) to hear an assortment of sounds. One week Avi could drop the jazz knowledge on ya where he basically flaunts his record collection, the next week he might drop a "hard to find" disco set on ya or maybe he'll switch it up and drop an 80's hip-hop mix or a full on dub set! That's what makes Avi's show so good, you get the best of the best from all the dope genres!
Not only is Avi a dope DJ and a well known record collector but he also runs one of the dopest independent record shops in all of Canada Beat Street Records. Aside from all this the dude still manages to find time to coach his kids in hockey and soccer too! We usually get him out to spin with us now and again at THE PAYBACK but now that hockey season is in full swing I doubt we'll get him down until next spring. If you ever get to see this guy spin or even DJ with him, it truly is a treat!
I remember not long after I had started working at Beat Street I got a call from this guy one Friday afternoon. He told me he was a limo driver and he had picked up Bill Cosby at the airport. Apparently, Bill Cosby was in town for a show at one of the casinos or some shit. Anyways, the driver stated he had Avi's show on in the limo while he was bringing Cosby to his hotel. Cosby told him to turn off that "jibber-jaberish" that he had on in the limo. I thought it was cool that the driver felt inclined to call so Avi knew he got dissed by BILL FUCKEN COSBY! Funny shit! That being said I lost a lot of respect for Bill Cosby that day and I don't think I watched The Cosby Show since!
Here's the mix in all it's glory! It's over an hour long and it's a dope mix of old-school electro, freestyle & booty bass. Lot's of dope cameo audio drops too! You can thank me later! Ez
