Prince Slow Sexy Vol 2
This week's Mixtape Mondays picks are so good they will have you falling to the ground like Biz. Kicking things off DJ Spintelect brings some good vibes to your ears with a genre-jumping Middle Of The Week compilation. Question blends together a mix of classic Erykah Badu and DJ UMB collects heartfelt moments from Prince's discography. DJ Rahdu continues on the soulful tip with The Diamond Soul XXXperience. Cut Chemist and DK take a left turn with some post-punk, Ta-Ku x Kit Pop link up as HWLS, and Delroy Edwards adds some syrup to the mix with slowed down funk.
DJ Spintelect is up next with a mix that's middle of the week but never middle of the road. Changing lanes wildly, in fact, from Omarion to Sango to Heavy D. It's all soul of a sort--the hump day sort, presumably. Stream below and scroll down for complete tracklist--complete with some names you haven't heard in a while, to be specific. (What up, Chingy?)

That Bama loves soul is well-established, but its an almost equal true-ism that Bama loves Badu. So when the BLS blog puts the stamp on a Baduist mix, even we at Okayplayer can trust that Lo Down Loretta Brown herself would be proud.

Cut Chemist goes deep on this mix dedicated to 80s post-disco no wave weirdness. If you are not familiar with bands like Liquid Liquid, A Certain Ratio or Flying Lizards, you're in for a mind-expanding treat. The highlight may be the Jah Wobble/Holger Czukay but for some reason Chemist seems to have skipped the best collabo "How Much Are They" (
