Secret Stash 13 by. KLIM
A new episode of Secret Stash with gems from KLIMs vinyl collection put together in Kyiv.
A new episode that’s kind of a bonus episode featuring in-house member of the crew KLIM and his vinyl collection and favorite joints to be shared in this new secret stash episode.
90s East Coast at its core - drums upfront, loops untouched, and verses that mattered more than polish.
There’s a clear thread running through it: the DNA of Showbiz & A.G. and the wider D.I.T.C. movement. Records like Next Level weren’t just songs - Built for DJ's, stretched in sets, tested in real time. Next to them sit soundtrack-era essentials like Crooklyn Dodgers ‘95, a reminder of when hip-hop and film moved in sync, feeding off the same street narratives.
But what really defines a collection like this isn’t the classics - it’s the edges. The white labels. The off-center pressings. The MF Grimm record that looks like it passed through a few hands before landing here. The slightly obscure Mic Geronimo piece that might not stand out to everyone, but means everything to the right listener. That’s where the real value lives - not just in price, but in perspective.
Back then, records like Livin’ Proof weren’t even universally praised. Some questioned the lyrics. DJs didn’t care; they heard the raw, stripped, undeniable beats, and that was enough.
Today, those same records are cornerstones-still being played, still teaching. Hip-hop was never about what was popular; it was always about what had heat.
KLIM said himself the mix represents a time in his life where the only focus he had was these records, skateboarding and just living healthy & good. A work ethic like noone else creating beats every day I am really honored to be sharing this new Secret Stash episode with him.
