When Koyote's first mix - the now-infamous Diamond Grills CD, with partner DJ Goon - dropped last year, it flew off the shelf every time we got a handful of copies in (via an NYC-living, Paris-visitng CD mule friend of Koyote's). But...
expand review we got our French connection firmed up now, and Koyote's got another mega dose of bass just in time for the warm weather. Women Respond To Bass 2 is hosted by Parisian rap superstar Cuiznier (of TTC) and is laced with the same genre-hopping party vibe that made Diamond Grills such a hit. Ghettotech, Miami bass, house, Southern rap, even a little drum'n'bass - the common thread here is BASS, and lots of it. Alongside classics like "Bounce Dat Azz" and "Baby Got Back," Koyote throws down sick blends, brand new remixes ("Throw Some D's," "Chain Hang Low") and exclusive tracks from Cuizinier, TTC, DJ Nasty and more. Oh yeah, and he gets drops and daps from just about every Ghettotech legend around, so you know this shit is certified! Recommended. -Chris Lemon-Red

Headed by the three man crew of Ayres, Eleven & Cosmo Baker, the Rub guys are back with an even bigger cast of friends and a wider range of remixes for the part two of their idea of a remix album. The...
expand review first volume was one of our best selling cds of the last year (still going strong), so you guys should already know the deal with this. While there's a healthy amount of pure party material here, the selection goes well beyond the drunken kingdom of knee-jerk mashup, featuring original remixes (check Paul Nice's work on "Devil's Pie"), stuff that won't necessarily work in the club but sounds great (Dead Prez over "Cadillac On 22s"!), strange experimentation, etc. Includes remixes by the above mentioned plus A-Trak, Diplo, Low Budget, Mark Ronson, Nick Catchdubs, Max Glazer, DJ Platurn, Crooked, and Brendan Bring Em. 27 tracks, recommended. -the mgmnt
Tom Thumz / Dr. Delay has become one of the most reliable mixtape names at the Lab, always consistent in both music and packaging. (Hope you got one of those Rajaz Meter joints...) Medium Rare #3 is the third volume (dur) in...
expand review his series of rare rap mixes, full of groups and songs that you've probably never heard of, let alone actually heard. (Cobra MCees? Kaotic Stylin? Disco P & The Fresh MC?) Dr. Thumz runs through nearly 50 tracks in the course of an hour - this type of thing, you just need to hear for yourself. Like we've said before, when it comes to this kind of mix, Tom's right up there with another fave of ours, Sloppy White. Also includes some rare tracks from better-known names like PB Wolf, Eric B & Rakim, JVC Force, Main Source. Recommended. -Chris Lemon-Red
