Artvoice x DJ Cutler: MCA Tribute

When the news broke that Adam “MCA†Yauch of the Beastie Boys died at the age of 47 from cancer, it rippled through the world wide music community. Rockstars, rappers, DJs, and pop stars all felt the impact of the death of the hip hop innovator. That’s because MCA and the Beastie Boys crossed over all of those genres. Their samples were a complex mix of funk, rock, pop, and jazz that helped to form hip hop as we know it. Buffalo’s DJ Cutler works in all of the same departments, mixing funk, rock, and hip hop on a regular basis. I started talking to Cutler about putting together a mix back in March before MCA passed away. After he died though, it became clear that this mix would be a tribute to the fallen hip hop star. Cutler is a true crate digger, and for this mix he’s picked out long lost gems, old favorites, and obscure tunes as well as classic Beastie Boys tracks that have helped define the trio’s style over their 30 years of hip hop dominance. Listen to DJ Cutler’s tribute to MCA below and if you like what you hear, check him out with Lo Pro at the Blue Monk every Monday night for Blue Collar Funk. Beginning Sunday, June 3rd Cutler and his homie Tone will also be taking over Sunday afternoon at the Monk between 12pm and 3pm for Sunday Jazz Brunch each week. Keep an eye out for more Exit Music Mixes and check out some of the past mixes from Medison, The Vinyl Retentives, and Fenbred. To submit a mix to Exit Music contact cory@artvoice.com.-Cory Perla
