Now Snoop Dogg’s a house/disco DJ too

Image for Now Snoop Dogg’s a house/disco DJ too

In October last year, West Coast survivor Snoop Dogg gave us Throw Your Dubs Up, the ‘dubstep mixtape’ no one was rightly expecting. Over the last couple of days, though, Snoop’s Soundcloud has been a flurry of activity as the budding DJ uploads new mix after new mix.

The one that’s capturing the most attention around the traps, though, is titled ‘Tekno Euro Mixx’ and it’s way more unexpected than his wubbs session. While ‘tekno’ isn’t exactly represented, the hour-long mix sees Snoop hand-picking records from disco and house luminaries like Crazy P, 6th Borough Project, Tensnake and Prins Thomas. It appears the guy has moved past David Guetta. As Tensnake himself succinctly put it on his Facebook when posting the mix: “crazy…”.

Some sceptics have wondered if the hip hop mogul actually did the digging for the selections, but the rough-edged mixing suggests he’s at the controls. Once you’ve had your ‘Tekno Euro’ fix, you can head to Snoop’s Soundcloud for the MoreWestCoast Mixx Shitt, Real Funk Snoopmix or Rasta Mixx. Hours of entertainment!

If you posted that soundcloud without telling us who it was, I would say it's not bad at all. mixing's pretty bad, but tunes are good.

Does it ruin it knowing that its snoop dogg? possibly. or maybe not?

Looks like the man has some deep crates (or well informed advisers). 48 min mark is Kasper Bjorke's remix of 'Heaven'. Respect Snoopy!

Snoop is off the hook, absolute legend. Everyone knows he has the goods after dropping those awesome electro tracks with Guetta & Co.

Way past his best hip hop star has friend/manager/paid hanger-on pick recent house music to put into poorly mix online mix. Mad.

I love it how everyone assumes he would have bad taste in music and would need someone to source these tracks for him. The mix is actually pretty good yo.

Snoop has always had good taste...the man loves his disco/funk and old skool vibe. Sh*t he brought Charlie Wilson back from the grave. Unfortunately in his game...its all bout selling records and commercialism. Im thinking this mix is a real representation of what the legend feels. Respect

Could you imagine the horrified look on kiddies faces if Future booked Snoop for a dj set and he came out and played this. Would be hilarious!

surprisingly good mix... the guy's oldschool and understands funk and soul.
