Published by Big Once on January 15, 2010. 0 Comments

Greetings urrboudy,

Got two real big show dates this weekend. Saturday I’m making my debut at Bon V, one of the dopest clubs in Chicago. Joining me will be the good homie Merk 1 of the Dirty Social. This is a very good look for me, so please come out and support!

Sunday I’m playing the first ever MLK Day Hip Hop Festival at the Abbey Pub, put together by my emcee partner in crime Verbal Kent and Gravel Records honcho Tim Stroh. The acts read like a who’s who of indie Chicago hip hop: Adad, Profound, 1773, Mass Hysteria, Black Collar, Wes Restless, and more. I’ll be on the wheels for VK and between acts, so come out and see the dopest hip hop the Chi has to offer. (See flyer below for details)

Hope to see you out!!!!!

Brand new mix from Caspa!

Brand new mix from Caspa! | Caspa

Caspa has definitely been one of my favorite producers of the last couple years. 2009 has been a monster year for the West Londoner, as he dropped tracks like “The Takeover” with Dynamite MC and his Kid Sister “Right Hand Hi” remix (possibly my favorite remix of 2009).

He just dropped a brand new mix for free download, and to no one’s surprise, its ridiculous. Grab it here.

Thanks to Fool’s Gold for the look!

December Top 10 List

Published by Big Once on December 17, 2009. 0 Comments

Greetings yallz,

Welcome to the first edition of my monthly Top Ten here at bigonce.com. (You can find my previous entries here at my personal Facebook page if you are so inclined). While lots of DJs, bloggers, and industry-type folk do regular lists, they are usually the tracks that came out that month/week/day/hour/whatever. My lists have always been about what I’m feeling that month and playing in my sets, regardless of old or new.

So yeah, here goes:

1. Busta Rhymes – “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See (Valerna Remix)”
2. Cookie Monsta – “Frontline”
3. Blakroc feat. Jim Jones & Mos Def - “Ain’t Nothing Like You (Hoochie Coo)”
4. Pretty Lights – “Let Em Know Its Time To Go”
5. DiskJokke – “The Bund”
6. Hell Rell – “I Heard They’re Lookin For Me”
7. Earmint – “African Goth Ensemble”
8. Gucci Mane – “Photoshoot (Flying Lotus Remix)”
9. Zero 7 – “Everything Up (Zizou) (Joker & Ginz Remix)”
10. Caspa – “Louder VIP”

Download my ODB Tribute Mix Now!

Published by Big Once on December 2, 2009. 0 Comments

DJ Trew is the head honcho over at Ground Lift Media, and he also is the resident selector every Saturday at Crocodile in Wicker Park, Chicago. He approached me to do an Ol’ Dirty Bastard tribute set at the November edition of his Uberjam 90′s party, and this is what I came up with in the few days prior to the party. 13 of Dirty’s most dancefloor-friendly tunes blended together live. Grab the mix below, and RIP ODB!
