There’s a few things in the ol’ missingtoof (at) missingtoof.com inbox which I get excited for: Emails full of money, n00d JPGs from blog groupies, and most of all, DJ Yoda mixtapes. His mixes from across the pond (U.K.) are like no other. He’s known for the ‘Cut & Paste’ style from the mixtapes that bear the same name. He works outside the box of what Turntablists usually do. Case in point, this brilliant podcast is the newest in the fine array of mixes created for Datatransmission.co.uk, which also features a brief interview about the mix. This is ‘Cut & Paste: Country & Western Edition’, also referred to as ‘Data Transmission Podcast 041′. There’s no tracklisting, but know that highlights include a some Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers & Willie Nelson over breakbeats, son! Even a country cover of Snoop Dogg’s ‘Gin & Juice’, Simpsons‘ Cleatus the Slack Jawed Yokel samples, and even DJ Yoda dueling a Banjo à la ‘73 film, Deliverance! Shit is country-fried bananas! Naw’i'mean?! No Crucial Conflict remixes, but I love you Yoda, I’ll let it slide. A Brit bridging hip-hop turntablism and Country & Western—Hallelujah.

If that is up your alley, try this recent mix put together by DJ Yoda with Spine Magazine editor Tobes, under the Pseudonym, Sparkle Motion (of course, with an appropriate sample from 2001 film, Donnie Darko, to commence). This mix of ’80s era R&B breaks will get you slow jammin’. One mix (above) is enough for one post, I’m gonna have to send you to ShareBee to snag the mix that’s blazin’ up (by coolin’ out) the forums & blogs: Download Sparkle Motion’s ‘Flight School Vol. 1′ on ShareBee.
Some of you lucky Brits got to see DJ Yoda play at Fabric last Friday. And if not, you can get the gist by picking up last year’s FABRICLIVE.39 Mix CD that has Yoda doing what he does best, throwing in the kitchen sink in the mix so marvelously. So heat, grab it and other abums in his signature ‘Cut & Paste’ series on Amazon. Furthermore, cop his newest ‘Unthugged II : Electric Boogaloo’ mix project with frequent collaborator, Dan Greenpeace from the official colabo MySpace.
