Guest Mix: DJ Iron – Beneath The Surface

Guest Mix: DJ Iron – Beneath The Surface

2013 was an amazing year for hip hop, and independent hip hop in particular. We at The Find think it’s truly inspiring to experience a new ‘golden age’ for hip hop. We don’t want to compare the last couple of years to the 90s, so let’s dub it ‘silver age’ for that matter.

The quantity AND quality of independent releases, the DIY ethos of many artists, the discovery of many talented beatmakers and emcees, comebacks and reunions by hip hop heavyweights, indie labels popping up like daisies… Hip hop lives.

This new guest mix by DJ Iron explores the best hip hop of 2013 “beneath the surface.” The Belgian DJ came up with over an hour worth of topnotch underground material, which is the tip of the iceberg of what 2013 had to offer. We highly recommend DJ Iron’s own 2013 release, Classic Recipes, a collection of killer reworks and remixes. We can’t wait to see what 2014 has in store. Happy new year to you and yours!
