Shop favourite, Chris Read has delivered where many have recently failed. I could write a load of words but I feel I need to quote the man himself about the inspiration that came for this mix from the sad news of Adam's passing.

"Predictably, the internet has been awash with MCA / Beastie Boys tribute mixes in the days that have passed since the untimely passing of Adam Yauch. I've listened to many, enjoyed a few but, as I often do, felt the need to put my own mark on it all. So, in less than 24 hours I set about putting together 'Boutique Beats', not your standard 'best of', but a collection of some of my favourites, laced with original breaks samped by the Beastie Boys (largely but not exclusively for the Paul's Boutique album), acapellas, remixes and plenty else besides."

You can also check Chris's thoughts on MCA's passing over here at his Music Of Substance blog.

Cheers Chris.

While you peruse the pics take a listen to this Mos Def mixtape thanks to DJ Rashad Hayes, brought to you courtesy of our mates over at The Diggers Union.

BTS Radio come correct once again with their latest mix offering from non other than Take.

"Showcasing this mix was a no brainer, Sweatson Klank had been teasing us with this podcast for over a year. This mix is a collection of often overlooked classics from one of hip-hop’s finest eras, the mid/late ‘90s. A collection of material that has vital in the development and influence on a young Sweatson Klank as a producer and DJ, and a sound that ignited a new generation of beat makers."

Too slick, part 2 is already being waited on!

"In Part 2 of enjoi’s luxury cruise, the crew embarks on a massive boat and sets sail from Sweden to Russia—at least according to Ben Raemers. In order to get into Russia, you’d normally need to have your paperwork very organized. However, if you enter via boat, you don’t really need anything."

"Barney Page, Zack Wallin, and Ryan Lay set it off on the tall ledges and long rails while Louie and Jerry warm it up with some fun. Pretty soon the whole crew is going berserk on transfer walls, steep banks, and double-set rails."

Ryan lay and Zack Wallin are the two new ams on enjoi. Check out Ryan’s full-length welcome video below. Zack’s is coming tomorrow.

Sit back and peep the latest offering from the East Coast. Skate Lair in Connecticut's owner Erik Munday has teamed up with East Coast photographer Michael Cirelli to film this ish.

Baines has put more parts out this last year than most people have in the last 5 and because of this Matt Hirst must have a bundle of tapes with so much footage. Peep this offcut footage that dropped a couple of days ago.

Reynolds fans rejoice. The Chrome Ball Incident keeps em coming this week posting Thrasher's mega Boss interview from 2002 in full.

I love what Magenta are up to, their edits are always on point and this welcome to the team edit from KOICHIRO UEHARA is no exception, quick footed sickness and serious spot envy make this a must watch.

The Gino post over on Chrome Ball is sure to make this wet, grey Monday that bit brighter.

With the sad news of the passing of legendary Beastie Boy, Adam 'MCA' Yauch, it seems fitting to repost this amazing Beastie mixtape from Mick Boogie. Rest in Peace MCA.
