DJ BIG JACKS PRESENTS: The Snack Pack (REMIXES)

It’s finally here! This is my first time doing a project like this and i’m excited to share it with you. The Snack Pack includes a variety of random remixes I did for tracks from Beyonce, Biggie, Lil Wayne feat. Kanye, Nas & Luda, Lady Gaga and Buju Banton plus a bonus Janet Jackson remix courtesy of DJ Royale! All tracks are clean for radio play and come with intros for easier DJ mixing! Some people call em remixes, or edits or mash-ups (i don’t!), however you choose to label them is fine just as long as you enjoy them. So check it out, let me know what you think and feel free to share with your people! Thanks to Committee Marco on the design

Lady Gaga vs Justice – Just D.A.N.C.E (Big Jacks’ RMX)

After this past year I have a new found respect and appreciation for Lady Gaga. She wasn’t just a one hit wonder, she’s talented and I cannot front on that! I originally came with this remix/blend idea a long time ago while working on a mixtape but I felt it could work in a few other settings and decided to finally make it available to the public. As usual there’s an open 8 bar intro for easy DJ mixing This might be the last leak before I drop the full Big Jacks Snack Pack of Remixes, so grab this while you can!

Grand Groove Electro Podcast feat. Big Jacks

A new Grand Groove podcast is here featuring your boy Big Jacks and this time shit is gettin’ a bit ravey, so grab your glow sticks! While the mix is largely based around electronic/ravey house I did manage to blend in some other elements from reggae to soca and more. Sounds a bit odd, but it kinda works! It’s definitely not for everyone and some shit might even annoy the fuck outta you but then again you might also be someone who loves it. So check it out and you tell me!

Nas & Ludacris – Virgo (Big Jacks’ Subway RMX)

This week Nas and Ludacris get the remix treatment as I put a new spin on personal anthem of mine (whuttup to my fellow virgos!). I decided to take it back to the old school on the Wildstyle tip, while some of you will recognize the beat as Nas’ “genesis” intro from Illmatic. Toss in a couple samples from Kool Moe Dee and Busy Bee and here you have a fun new version to listen to and play! *For my DJs, the remix is clean for radio play and comes with an 8-bar intro for easier mixing!*

This is the 2nd leak from the forthcoming DJ Big Jacks Snack Pack of remixes! More to come next week but for now check this out and enjoy!

Beyonce – Single Ladies Gettin’ Money (BIG JACKS’ REMIX!)

Here we go! Beyonce Knowles it’s time to meet The Junior Mafia and get that money! This is the first remix (of many more to come) which i’ve decided to release publicly and share with the world. It’s pretty self explanitory, nothing too fancy just a nice twist on two big tunes to add a new vibe to your party, mixes and ipod!

Be on the lookout for the DJ Big Jacks Snack Pack of Remixes dropping soon! I’ll be leaking joints over the next few weeks before I release the entire package! Check it out, share and enjoy!

The UK’s Southern Hospitality Presents: Twelve 12″s feat. Big Jacks!

***BIG shouts to my homie Rob over at Southern Hospitality and the whole crew. I’m honoured to be a part of this series. I won’t say anymore you can read what they wrote***

–

The ‘Twelve 12″s’ series is back once again, for the (rather coveted) twelfth instalment, and this time representing for Toronto it’s – Big Jacks!

Big Jacks has been rocking spots all over the U.S. and Canada for the last decade, as well as holding it down on T-Dot radio every week, bringing his love and knowledge of music to the world. He’s also opened up for some of the greatest names in hip-hop – A Tribe Called Quest, Dj Premier, Krs, Pete Rock to name a few and has toured alongside Jigga’s current DJ Neil Armstrong (another SH Fave we may add). Not only that but he even DJs and programs the music for a large women’s clothing chain! Now that is ‘versatility’ (don’t worry, you’ll get the reference when you’ve copped the mix). Anyway, I’m sure you’re all familiar with his work after the incredible mix with DJ Eleven ‘Great Minds’ that we featured here a couple of weeks ago, which finds Big Jacks tearing through the 80s groove with an ear and skills few have. In fact, an ability that comes from not only a genuine feel for music but years of digging through the racks to find those absolute gems, as I’m sure rap historians out there will appreciate after taking one look at the cover! As well as the aforementioned Nyborn (still my most wanted rap 12″!) you’ll find some more random, but classically dope records like Sir Ibu’s ‘I’m The Peacemaker’ and ‘Bizzie Boyz ‘Hold The Lafta’. This is heaven to people who, like me, love that late 80s/early 90s rap sound and a perfect kick off to the week. Incredible stuff.

In case you missed the first eleven instalments from myself (Rob), Superix, James Lebens, DJ Ayres, DJ Dub, DJ Hudson, Matt Evans, Spin Doctor, Matthew Africa, Cosmo Baker & DJ Eleven – you can still catch them here and watch out for another ‘Twelve 12s coming very soon…

Big Jacks’ Goin In on 80’s Hip Hop! *Podcast*

I do this radio show by the name of Backroad Radio in Toronto on 105.5 which i’ve been doing for almost 8 years now! Each week, I take about 30 mins and go on a trip down memory lane. This week I felt the mix was a little extra special so I wanted to share this with you as a podcast! Mixed live on the radio by yours truly. Excuse the ghetto quality audio but we’re keeping it “iusedtotapehiphopofftheradio” for this one! Enjoy.

Mixtape Mondays : Southern Hospitality Presents ‘Twelve 12’s’ Live Vinyl Only Mix Series: #09 w/ Matthew Africa

Shouts to Southern Hospitality

I respect the SHIT! out of the concept to this mixtape series. Twelve 12′ done live, just like the good ol’ days. I know some of these “microware” DJ’s are looking at me like i’m speaking another language right now. Yes no 8-bar edits, no tracking the mix, ALL LIVE!!.

This edition is done by Matthew Africa. The tracklisting may seem a little random to the average ear, but that’s the whole point. Plus any mix with joints from RBL Posse and Mac Mall, definitely deserves a listen.

Word on the street is Big Jacks is gonna be doing one of these mixes aswell!
