If you've slept on Mike all these years, now's the time to catch up.

We Say...
As an O.G. pioneer of Bass music production, Magic Mike was a rare breed of Southern producer. In addition to deep 808 kick-drums and ridiculous DJ cuts, he always featured top-shelf MCs on his recordings. While this collection is missing Mike's 1988 southern smash "Magic Mike Cuts the Record," you'd be hard pressed to dis these tunes, even if you pit them against New York hip-hop of the day. Listen to "Def and Direct" or "I Ain't Finished Yet!" and the case is airtight. Most of the country missed the boat on Mike's career in the '80s and '90s, in no small part because of an irrational pro-NY-and-LA and anti-everywhere-else bias. If you've slept on Mike all these years, now's the time to catch up.

They Say...
All of DJ Magic Mike's classic early productions (except for "Magic Mike Cutz the Record") appear on this 1993 Cheetah collection, including the furious scratching and Beastie Boys-sampling of "Drop the Bass," the rolling, laidback "Def and Direct," a rough-and-smooth East Coast cut called "Class Is in Session," and the sexed-up "Are You Ready." Mike's scratches, drum programming, and sample work are all excellent, though a bit restrained by the frequent raps. There is a bit of overlap with Foundations of Bass, but this is the more crucial collection.
