I lived with this cat BRYAN HAMECS in the late 90’s. Part time DJ/PRODUCER and full time artist, Bryan is one of those cats you meet and walk away from realizing that he just see things in a different way. He’s currently an organic sculptor and creative director in New York.
After Bryan moved back east we pretty much communicated exclusively through tapes. He sent me a bunch of mixes taped off the radio and I felt like a pilgrim when I heard how different it was over there. Mixtape culture had infiltrated mainstream radio.
This is one of those tapes. It’s pretty much a time capsule of 2001 NY and features the HOVA in his prime, some Diddy and Alicia Keys before she blew up. A great party mix even with the commercial interludes- they even did that up fresh!
