[@EWCMILK]

​@jonathanhuerta3811 you're thinking Tony Sunshine

[@DJYNOT2]

I love the stories we dj's have. I live in Phila but I grew up in Camden NJ right over the bride from Funk-O-Mart in Phila. I got most of my records there and at Sound of Market and Armand's.... Wow the good old days. I met Biz in Sound of Market. Tony Touch much respected soldier. Salute from DJ Y -Not...

[@woabeatz9717]

NOBODY BEATS THE BIZ......

[@Imakebeats65]

tony is right the music that you collect really reflects who you are and for every record there is always a story attached!!

[@julianduprey5248]

Much respect on shouting out funk o mart on this. My pops was a part of that record store for many years.

[@dkapone]

Tony Toca.......nothing but respect! Peace.

[@MrJR2309]

Return of the 50 MC's is dope. I bought the signed CD and vinyl version - but only ever received the CD (months after purchase). Anyone else?

[@taylz1200]

That "double T" is an absolute must have in your collection. Great great album...

[@FurredTurgeson]

3:37 Yo no lie, I found a copy of "The Piece Maker" diggin' at a Goodwill in Baltimore MD. I was buggin out. So I got a copy in my collection hahah

[@hebrewsfl]

Furred T bruh, I come across wild stuff here in Planet Aid and dollar bins all over Baltimore

[@kevinredbearaddison4811]

I had most of his mix tapes in the 90s.⚡⚡🔥🔥🔥👊🏽👊🏽

[@djflashb]

I have met Tony Touch in dubai 5 or 6 years ago he is one of the coolest dudes ever

[@fumar61]

listening to tony touch mixtapes in the mid90s was the reason for me to buy myself turntables and start to rockin it !!!

[@eyetell]

This is awesome. Thank you for posting FUSE

[@dub142]

Always love these series. Great honor to see inside the vaults of so many legends. I have to say I have been turned on to a few new artists after finding your site. We host a webisode on crate digging - based in the West Coast. Swing by - think you will enjoy!

[@RondaldJames8]

"Funk - O - Mart" is closed. Will definitely be keeping an eye out. If they restart in some shape, or from! Thanks for the tip :)!

[@Phicxtion]

Tony is a mad underrated DJ.

[@MAARTN]

Whaaat, just realised I have that 12" from Capicu on Tommy Boy. Made my day :)

[@Kill3mallk3v]

Thanks fuse for doing my favorite mixtape dj tony tocca (aka tony touch) on this episode. I still have his original power Cypher 50 mc's mixtape series from the 90's. Some of the best freestyles on that tape lol!

[@jaybizzy8duece]

Finally someone with freestyle records aka Latin hip hop

[@rickquesada925]

Yeah Latin Freestyle is what got me into DJing.

[@JJay-eh7yc]

Tony the truth. I only bang his old mixtapes from early 90's when working out at the gym. They don't make em like this anymore man.

[@Bboykidcombo]

Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal ...👑🙏👑

[@MegaCunnie]

Toca is a legend.

[@alonso.with.s]

Tony Toca!! Que increible aporte para el hip hop mundial, so much respect for you papi, un abrazo

[@thecaffeinefiend]

[@southjerseysfinest]

damn tony touch shouted out funk-o-mark.famous record store in philly,downtown center city down the street from the gallery mall.shoutout 2 philly.

[@missayawk]

Tony Touch and DJ Juice had the best intros during the mix tape era......Tony also rapped in Spanglish which was an extra bonus.His 50 MCs tapes are classics!!

[@DonShacks]

MAdlib crate diggers would be fab" try and get that arranged fuse. thank you for this episode.

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

[@voodooray4589]

Funny how i connected CRATE DIGGERS to a few deejays but no THANK YOU.. Its all good i still like the idea beside watching MY FRIENDS get interview. I learned a lesson for sure...

[@voodooray4589]

Just for the record I'm talking about CRATE DIGGERS not giving me any credit or thank you. I hit them with a list of deejays. It's all good cause karma is a bitch.. Said in my evil voice.. Ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaàa!

[@HoltrontheDestroyer]

All that 90s hip hop takes me back. Had a lot of that (s/o to the 'liks!) I remember finding a Doo Wop and Tony Touch mix cd (my first) back in 96/97 and not fully understanding what was going on. Now it get it.

[@ericfernandez1869]

Show us your Reggae collection, Toca!

[@maestro-zq8gu]

Would love to get in that room and play some of that stuff. What a treasure trove.

[@hobodivine5776]

@1:32 (fun fact?) The cover artwork was done by Bob Camp the same artist that directed on Ren & Stimpy. He also did a Nucleus record jackets.

[@edwinmaldonado7678]

[@smhunney8266]

That Peacemaker Album is a classic to me.

[@espcyphermc]

Big up to Funkomart! Philadelphia pa. Shout out to my man Chino & Jodie.. I used to grab all my work from there for years.

[@louieboone7209]

It’s the return of the Jedi 🇵🇷

[@mathiasrapp]

Great show! Would be awesome to see some techno or disco djs/producers on here to mix things up abit. Detroit/Chicago house guys from back in the day? I'm sure most people watching this show would appreciate different genres and be interested to see where their inspirations come from. Cheersss

[@zwendab]

I wore out my “Piece Maker” tape when it came out (got it on CD later ‘cus those last longer). “TONY…TONY PUÑETA! APAGA LA RADIOLA O BAJA LA MUSICA - MIRA VE LO QUE HACES!” 🤣

[@amontri3246]

I remember 2 years ago in a storage unit I found boxes and boxes of fania records they belonged to a collector dope records

[@singingdancingcrap]

Please visit Bonobo and Amon Tobin!

[@chetrok1]

The man

[@TheUndergroundVault]

Tony is an interesting character, and one that Hip-Hop heads would like to see his collection for. Egon was great as well, love me some Stones Throw... but the last 3~ have been people no one cares about. I understand what was shown may not be the best, but his stories, and Toca himself is an interesting character, one I'm interesting in viewing a Crate Diggers episode from. Oh, and his collection itself was pretty great.

[@Canib0x]

dope to see this & hear him name check Funk O Mart in Philly, sadly they moved to a smaller spot in recent times & have little to no music in it..they used to have a whole fuckin basement of records/cds

[@puzzle247365]

So fuckin dope!! you dont get stories like this with the internet age/mp3's...shout to that REDMAN 12" of cant wait in the background...oh and that new Piece maker return of the 50 MCs is DOOOOPE! just for the black thought joint alone pick it up!

[@TheUndergroundVault]

Finally!! One that actually fucking matters!! Hank Williams the Third... LOL. I requested Tony Touch a month or so ago too... Awesome! Keep doing actual interesting collectors please!

[@frankylane]

I always view the newest crate diggers the Wednesday it comes out and then check everyday after (it's like going to the fridge every 20 minutes thinking something new is gonna magically appear, but it don't) thinking maybe they'll sneak one in there in between or maybe there's one I haven't seen. Every other Wednesday is purgatory. This wait'n game is killin me..............stop playing with my emotions smoke-a!!

[@AT-eh2eo]

Philly update*** The entire block where funk-o-mart was located was bought out to make what is now the fashion district. However, even before that, funk-o-mart was looooong under new management, only really selling stereos and Dj equipment. No records, sadly. Tbh I’m too young to have experienced the fabled Funk-o-mart myself. By the time I caught wind it was gone.

[@MAARTN]

Hehe, dope to find out huh :)

[@Elbuckone]

Tony Touch come to the land of the Inkas Peru Chicago loves you Toca!!.

[@indyvinylz]

Stretch Armstrong PLEASE !!!!! he should have EVERY DOPE 12" single ever made in the game of independent and underground rap !!!! also dj riz or dj eclipse should have MAAAD dope wax!!! :)
