WORDS FROM THE HEROI was 1st introduced to
KIXNARE by my dear friend and Amazing Musician
Will Widdoss. Apparently
KIXNARE had done a few tracks w/ Will for his Debut mixtape "
VENTILATION" but due to the enormous amount of music content out there as well as my limited attention span, it wasn't until months after Will 1st put me onto kixnare that I actually got a chance to check out
his stuff. KIXNARE is one of the Few
SUPERPRODUCERS of the
NEWSCHOOL that kept to the philosophy "
IF ITS NOT BROKE, DON'T FIX IT" He manages to piece together Instrumentals that Rival any and every current producer surrounding him and does it w/ A touch of nostalgia, When I Hear A track from
KIXNARE It sounds like A Track that should have been on NAS "Illmatic" or Biggie smalls "Ready 2 Die". A few producers I know of can pull this off w/ ease and style:
Kixnare, Dela, The Deepnotes, jewbei, just to name a few. Now, don't get me wrong im not one of those whom are stuck in the past and refuse to accept progression. In fact I can honestly say Among those of whom I just mentioned in my favorites who can pull off a Classic
Golden Era sound. I Also love the Out of this world, Advanced Styles of cats like
Mono/poly, Afta-1, Take, Lotus, Samiyam, Illmind, etc....But Enough of the explaining. Today We shine our BAT Symbol Spot light on
KIXNARE and his humble contributions to this culture. I have been meaning to post his "Class of 90's" mix since a little after I started the
HsH but never got around to it. So when Kix hit me up and sent me a link to his new mix he did for and in collaboration w/
http://tenisufki.eu I knew that I would finally have my chance to spread this dope mix. Good thing is now instead of just one Mix, You get Two.
"Fresh Squeezed Juice" is a mix displaying Kixnare's DJ side, while "
Class of 90's" Diplays Kixnare's Production over classic Accapella's from the
BoomBap Golden Era. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. -

P.S. The Kixnare / Dutchmassive Collabo track will be posted soon.
