not-I-blog (DJ not-I): Proto-mash-ups (2004)
http://not-i-blog.blogspot.com/2008/02/proto-mash-ups-2004.html
A DJ not-I blend/mash-up/bootleg remix retrospective (under construction). Friday, February 22, 2008. I'm sure i had already heard quite a few, but i just considered them to be the kind of mixes that DJs naturally do (in the hip-hop community, they've been called 'blends' for quite a while, but that's another story). The first was recorded live at a cafe gig on two turntables. It mixes the shakuhachi. Flute of Kohachiro Miyata. With the drums of jazz legend Max Roach. Who i would meet much later at GYBO.
