In 1978, Skip Groff was inspired by Stiff to create his own label which he named Limp Records. Limp was one of the first labels to release music from the DC punk scene such as The Slickee Boys, Black Market Baby and Minor Threat. Celebrate the connection and explore the artists from these two trailblazing labels that sparked the fuse on the powder keg of punk and independent records in their respective scenes. Less

A thought enters your mind: “Huh. Shoulda been a Bond theme.” If you’re anything like DJ Malpaso, this has been happening to you for years, and you’ve long wished someone would hoard a bunch of these precious gems together. So, don your tux, make yourself a martini, and enjoy two hours of lush tunes that seem tailor-made for spy thrillers, but aren't! (Expect some actual Bond themes in the mix, too, for comparison's sake.) Less
