THE SHAKEDOWN

If you didn’t get to make it out the other weekend for my birthday parties, I’ve got you covered.  I pulled up the history on my laptop, pushed record, and re-did what I did on two of the nights.  Its definitely not exactly the same, but I did these recordings in one take, so I could at least get the vibe of it being live.  I skipped over the commercial club sets, from the first Friday (I may go back and record those anyway), and just decided to record my sets from Sugarfoot @ Verdugo, and The Bridge @ Rehab.  Click on the images below to download them!!  (there’s 2 mixes, be sure to get them both)

For Sugarfoot, I decided to go with a lot stuff that I’ve never really played out live.  Sorry if I don’t know the music that well, but I had fun giving it a shot.  Threw in some stuff that I do know well too.  If you know me, you’ll know which is which.

For The Bridge, I really didn’t have anything planned.  Cygnet drove while I put stuff into a create.  Literally on the drive over.  I went on first that night, so it didn’t really matter what I played.  Just decided to have fun with it.  So if you notice a handful of the same songs on both sets, its  because I had fun with it the night before.  This one has a little more Hiphop to it.

The homie DJ Shredone gave me the title teacher, cause she would come over, practice and session once in a while… She’s been around a lot of other DJs too.. .  But… I’m not mad at the title, kinda flattered to be honest.  I’ll take it cause she’s a dope DJ.  Not a good female DJ, but just good DJ in general.  ShredOne, along with her girl Roza, came out with this mix a few months back. Not sure why I’m just putting it up on here now.  I’m laggin on this whole blog thing as a whole…. anyways… its  good music for the discofunk/boogie lovers. Download it now!!

Here’s a mix I did back in 1999.  Its still weird for me to say “back in the 90s”  But I guess that just means I’m old now.  This mix is all slow jams.  It was my first mix CD.  Before that, my mixtapes were on actual TAPES!!!  Cassettes… Maxell, TDK, etc.. you know whatsup!!  I was selling this on CD for about $5 to $10 bucks each.  I think I sold close to a hundred copies outta my backpack at school, at work, after the club (shout out to John Magic for always plugging it at Rewind!!!) .  If you bought one from me and you’re seeing this now,  I owe you a drink or something, cause now I’m giving it out for free.

Also… definitely have to shout out Dave Magno and the rest of S-Sential for the Hands to Heaven remake.. and of course Leslie Baloy (who I haven’t seen in years, so not even sure if its still her last name)  for the acapella verses.  Hope you’re all doing well!!  Wanna help me out with the next one??

This file is a little bit of a re-edit.  I put all the tracks together into one long file, and I tightened up the gaps between the different segments of the mixes.  Thats about it.  Excuse the bad sound quality, cause I didn’t have any real recording gear back then.

People have been asking me about a part 2 for years.  I was hoping to get to it last year, cause it woulda been like a 10yr anniversary sorta thing.  I just never got a chance to do it…  but who knows… maybe one day I’ll get to it.  So… if you lost your CD, its too scratched up to play, just want to load it on your ipod, or never even heard it before… feel free to DOWNLOAD it here:

…ALL CHOKED UP… the slow jam mix

shout out to my brotha from anotha… Francisco.. he had the CD on file and sent me the pictures of it!!!

If you’re looking for more slow jams, I also have this mix here… Bedroom Behavior vol. 1

So 2009 was a pretty rough year.  And at the end of the year, 09 didn’t let me off that easy.  Original plan:  check out Z-Trip at Moon at the Palms.  The homie Tony was gonna drive, but last min, he had car problems.  Then, I also got a call from the homie Abe (DJ EvilLincoln) about a tentative NYE gig at the Crocker Club (he’ll be there every Saturday starting in the next couple weeks).  Skipping over all the details, my cousin cancelled the room, the gig didn’t happen, and we ended up at some random party in Chino Hills (don’t ask how it was).

On the plus side though, the Crocker Club had me come in a do a set, so they can hear me do their format.  Which is pretty much stuff I like to play anyway.  They liked what I did and have me on call.  Most likely to fill in for Abe.  Well… here’s the set for you download.  My final mix for 2009.  Hope you all have a great 2010!!

2009 FINALE (Crocker Club)

Do we call it “Twenty Ten”  or just “Ten”???

So I know I’ve been lagging on the blog stuff.  But what better way to come back with it than on Christmas.  My brother did this mix, and we’re getting it up online just in time for some last minute Xmas music downloading.  Have fun with this today.. and Merry Christmas!!!

BAD KNEWS presents – “Grandma Got Run Over by a DJ”

This came out today I believe… so.. if you’re not already on this mix.. you’re sleepin!!  Its DJ Jazzy Jeff… Its Michael Jackson… and the artwork alone is dope as hell… I think I’m gonna buy the t-shirt.

Click on the picture to go and download it.

Ok.. not a full recap for now.  But in case you couldn’t make it to Kevin’s birthday party.  I recorded the whole night.  Please ignore my excessive, and mediocre cuts and doubles.  No one was there yet, and it relieves stress.  The cool thing is, that its a LIVITUP reunion for me and the guys.  We don’t all DJ together that often…. let alone 3 of us in one spot.  So up first is me… then DJ Rewind.. then Hey Mesa, then I went back on for a few minutes at the end.  Then Bad Knews himself grabs the mic in a drunken state.  (OK.. they were headphones… you old school DJs know whatsup with that).

A lot of people who said they were coming didn’t show, but it worked out cause the place was pretty packed anyway.  More people woulda just been too much.  It was good to see people that I haven’t seen in a long time.  I’ll see if I can get pictures from Kevin… In the meantime.. here’s the links to download the music.  One link is just me… the other one is the whole night.  The second one is probably the better choice, cause you get mine and the other guys too.
