We are in the thick of Summer and for me its hard not to feel the urge to travel. Maybe its a hold over from trips at the completion of the school year, or the 100 plus degree heat here in Philadelphia, but I just can’t sit still. Here is a mix for you traveling folks, or those of you with an itch to scratch. JEEPNEY Sounds mixed by Canada’s own DJ PUMP.
-THE BAG MESSENGER
“Jeepneys are the most popular means of public transportation in the Philippines.[1] They were originally made from US military jeeps left over from WWII and are known for their flamboyant decoration and crowded seating. They have become a symbol of Philippine culture”
“Here’s a mix i made in 2007 for Jeepney clothing in Seattle & California area.. I think the original zshare file expired with about 80,000+ downloads (wow!)... Anyway, this was my tribute to late great J Dilla months after he passed. In this mix, you’ll hear 80 mins of real hip hop joints i was feeling at the time mixed with some funk, neo soul and some more rare gems. There’s also a J Dilla tribute mix somewhere in the middle.. Enjoy.”- DJ PUMP
