The Twelve Days of Wu-Mas 2022 - Day #9

In 2020, the Twelve Days of Wu-Mas took on a different form, with all written reviews appearing over on the Patreon instead of here. There was a reason for that: instead of merely chastising the stuff I didn’t like on various projects that had very little chance of ever measuring up to the golden era of the Clan, I wanted to share with readers the songs I actually enjoyed a great deal. That's how I ended up compiling several special episodes of the Max-Approved Mixtape dedicated to the Wu-Tang Clan and their affiliates.

These mixes, each featuring ten tracks handpicked from the vast Wu catalog and a random movie sound bites that started off following the group's overall aesthetic but quickly shifted into more bizarre territory in an effort to make myself chuckle, were a pretty big hit over on the Mixcloud site, bumping up the follower count and listener stats, so in 2021 I recorded a few more, since there is an endless sea of the Wu for us to navigate. The only criteria used was that I had to personally believe the song was fire. That’s it. Simple, right? I figured that, if I loved the song, then there was a great chance that you two may also enjoy the shit out of it, and sharing songs I actually like with folks is one of my favorite things to do, hence RandoMax Radio existing in the first place.

I haven’t recorded any new episodes of the Wu-Mix for this year’s holiday run, but if you’re a newbie or just need to get on my level, below is a list of every episode released, in addition to a couple of extra-special one-offs that acted as “best of” mixes just because I thought they would be fun.

Share this with your Wu-stan buddies, as every little bit of exposure helps the cause.

Enjoy!
