New Mixtape: Manifesto x The Main Ingredient x DJ Mensa present Bilal: A Best Mix
Another 'Main Ingredients'-related project...
This mix was prepared by DJ Mensa in honor of Bilal's show for the Manifesto Festival here in Toronto last night but due to illness (asthma, I believe), his appearance was canceled. The show still went on, turned into a free concert featuring Slakah the Beatchild. I'm a big fan of his and was thinking of going, but I'm wild tired and have sh-t to do tomorrow and didn't wanna come in late and f-ck my morning up. Instead, I'm enjoying this mix as I wind down for the night....

Manifesto presents the Michael Jackson Tribute - 3hr set mixtape
In case you overlooked it in yesterday's post. Here's the skinny:
"On July 1st, 2009 Manifesto brought over 30,000 Torontonians to Yonge & Dundas Square to celebrate the life, music & magic of the one and only Michael Jackson. Six heavy-weight Toronto deejays - Starting from Scratch, Son of S.O.U.L., DJ L’oqenz, Mensa, Sean Sax and Jason Palma - played their hearts out to one of the biggest crowds of their lives, laying down the larger than life legacy of the King of Pop. Watch the videos and download the 3 hr set for free."
