adjust vs. theeq - versus002
I thought this album was going to be some sort of DJ battle royale. Instead, it's two long-ass mixes by DJ Adjust and The EQ. After digging on this tape for about a month (and deciding that DJ Adjust was the clear cut victor)

That said, while I enjoy the tape as a whole I still dig on the first side more. DJ Adjust mixes in samples smoothly-throwing in everything from Beavis & Butthead to GOODFELLAS. My favorite tracks have to be his reworking of Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" and NWA's "Quiet On Tha Set."
Meanwhile The EQ has his fair share of sampling but impliments them more as between-track sets, as if flipping channels between funk-fueled bombastic electronica. Don't get me wrong, The EQ's stuff is "da bomb" but I prefer the seemless mix of DJ Adjust's side. Just put it on and have fun funking.- MW
