Gym Soundtrack for Today: DJ DS – Workinonit (An MF DOOM Tribute Episode Two)

After From Long Island to Leeds, I had to revisit my 2nd DOOM tribute. Ep 2 might not have hit the same numbers as Ep 1, but I think I actually prefer it. Some of my best work on here:

Gym Soundtrack for Today: MF DOOM: Long Island to Leeds (BBC Sounds)

The first three set it up perfectly. Now the focus shifts to exile and his years in Leeds — handled with real care and depth. Romesh Ranganathan’s custom Operation: Doomsday tracksuit story is a highlight. Essential listening!!

Gym Soundtrack for Today: Group Home – Livin’ Proof

This is pure NYC classic boom bap. Fully produced by DJ Premier, often argued as his best work outside of Gang Starr. Lil Dap & Melachi came from the Gang Starr Foundation, and Preemo’s gritty, beats turned this into a classic.

Gym Soundtrack for Today: Showbiz & A.G. - Runaway Slave

Showbiz & A.G.’s Runaway Slave (1992) - a D.I.T.C. classic and one of the hardest LPs of the 90s. Gritty Showbiz production, razor-sharp A.G. bars, early Big L appearances, pure Bronx boom-bap. Timeless. #DITC #ShowandAG

Muddy walk around Greenway Bank Country Park & Knypersley Reservoir with my wife, Mum, and my beautiful little Shih Tzu, Winnie 🐾💚

Fresh air, roast beef Sunday dinner, then a truly final coat of paint on the studio walls. A good Sunday all round ✨

RIP Mr. Complex 🕊️

A real underground voice—dense bars, honest stories, no takin’. He made hip hop that made you think and feel. Gone too soon, but his words still echo on. An MCs MC for sure!! 🎤🖤

Studio update 🎛️

We hit a few delays making sure everything was building-regs compliant (and upgrading the house consumer unit 😅), but we’ve finally been able to paint the room.

Went with Farrow & Ball Green Smoke and absolutely love it — looks great with the white gloss.

Slowly getting there now!

Madlib’s WLIB: King of the Wigflip is pure genius. From dusty, jazzy beats to abstract, psychedelic textures, it’s a masterclass in production and creativity. Guest spots from Talib Kweli, MED, etc. An essential listen for hip hop fans.

Gym Soundtrack for Today: Napoleon Da Legend & Vice Beats - Promise & Vice Beats - Aspects

Promise is focused, disciplined, built for lyricism. Aspects feels more internal, moody, patient, layered. Together they show Vice Beats’ range & philosophy: atmosphere, restraint, & intention over trends.

Still buzzing after last night. #Kuartz absolutely killed it — flawless beat set as always 🔥

#BeautifulLosers hit hard on the big screen. Timeless, inspiring, pure DIY spirit.

Best part though? Catching up with everyone. Proper community energy.

Big respect to #urbanartistry & #cultplexmcr 👊
