otis fodder posting roadium mixtapes and more at wfmu's beware of the blog

has started a new series of posts on wfmu's beware of the blog called .

In the future weeks to come (every Thursday) I'll be sharing classic mix tapes, limited edition 12" megamix singles/albums + current mashups and massive mix meltdowns.

he's off to a GREAT start with rips of roadium mixtapes, which were mixes produced in the '80s by dr. dre, tony a (hi-c's dj) and a host of other influential west coast dj's. they were primarily sold out of the roadium swap meet in torrance, ca. they featured freestyles by rappers like eazy-e, tone loc, ice cube, as well as crazy mixes of electro, miami bass, hip-hop, and more.


check out the rad cover of this dr. dre mixtape from 1986


i bought some of these mixes from kobey's swap meet in san diego when i was a kid (you can read me nerding out about it in the comments of ). turns out that's where otis got his copies too. cool.

completely coincidentally, otis fodder also has a track on the upcoming sneakmove minicomp 3, which is now available for pre-order. much more on that very soon. woo hoo!

and, to tie this post up all pretty-like, let's check out an otis fodder track with a great title right now, shall we?
