Ten years ago I put together a 'remixtape' as a follow up of sorts to 'The Diary' (at the time my most popular mixtape by a country mile). The concept expands on the chronology theme of the original, this time concentrating on trends in production: one iconic track from each year between 1989 and 2009, remixed (by me) in tribute to the popular production styles of the year of release, from the James Brown influenced style of the late 80s and the jazz inflected styles of the early 90s to the unique sounds of producers Buckwild, Jay Dee, DJ Premier and others. For this 10th Anniversary expanded edition I've added ten additional tracks I put together around the same time that were not included on the original CD, many of them never before on Mixcloud.
