Post my thoughts later…

–

This mix is pretty damn overdue, my apologies for that.  I’d been ridiculously busy at work for awhile, and when my project finally got out the door, I thought I’d be jumping immediately on the decks.  Instead I found myself just needing a week or two of doing absolutely nothing (it was everything I imagined it could be….) to decompress.

Had my chance to relax and now I’m back on the decks and hopefully back on schedule again to drop a mix a week again.

Hope you enjoy this… listening back through it again, it’s one of my favorite mixes I think I’ve *ever* recorded.  Like all my mixes, it’s all just impromptu and a live set (i.e. press record and cross fingers), but for whatever reason I think it all just comes across pretty clean–and it’s pretty representative of me as a DJ now.  The musical choices are all fairly upbeat, represent a decently broad range of genres and provide a nice spectrum of beats and melodies.  Can’t quite place it fully, but to me the mix is just very…. me.  Been at this now for 3 years approximately, and looking at this mix and comparing to stuff I have from way back when, I think I’ve come quite a long way..

Anyhow, enough self back patting.  Enjoy, hope you like it as much as I enjoyed the time on the decks recording it.

I’ve been a big fan of the Bmore sound (aka Baltimore Club, Doo Doo beats) ever since I was first exposed to it maybe 3, 4 years ago by the fairly influential series of LPs put out by a DJ duo named Hollertronix. Anyhow, I got a bit curious and apparently the BMore sound is mostly attributed and traced back as an offshoot of the Miami Bass sound and quite heavily influenced by Luke Skyywalker (and hence why some call the genre “Doo Doo”, i.e. after the track “Doo Doo Brown” by said 2 Live Crew producer).

The sound has been gaining a lot of traction across the country lately, so I’ve started fiddling around w/ the idea of doing a longer set of just B’more tracks. Was just practicing around last night and threw together a few tracks completely off the cuff just to see what I might come up with. Going to go ahead and post this up for now as a bit of a teaser/preview of a longer mix when I have more time to sift through all my B’more records more carefully.

Enjoy..
