80 minutes of hits, rare demos, remixes, outtakes & more

To celebrate the Beastie Boys induction into the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame last week, New York DJ Mick Boogie has created this 80-minute tribute to the legendary rap band. Titled Grand Royal — after the Beastie’s label and former magazine — the tape is a solid recap of the band’s long and fruitful career. There’s plenty of material to choose from, highlighted by 3 of the most innovative albums of the 80s and 90s and featuring 29 tracks of hits, rare demos, remixes, outtakes and more. Mick Boogie tells us what inspired him to compile the mix:

“In honor of the Beastie Boys being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last week… I thought it’s finally the right time to do a Beasties mixtape. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time… something people have asked me to do for a long time, actually… but I wanted it to mean something. Now, it’s finally the right time.

I present to you Grand Royal. 80 minutes of my favorite Beastie Boys rarities, remixes, demos, live versions, out-takes, and more. If you’re a Beasties fan, I guarantee you find something new and exciting on this mix!”
