THE SHAKEDOWN

free mixes for download at the bottom of the post.

Here’s the line up for the weekend:

1. -Highh Lounge (Hotel Erwin, Venice Beach) – Saturday July 3rd, 2010 – 3pm-7pm
2. -JAMN 94.5 – Boston, MA – Time: TBA

I’ve mentioned it plenty of times… High Lounge on the rooftop of Hotel Erwin in Venice Beach, CA. I get to play an eclectic blend of music.  Everything from Hiphop, R&B, Old School, Soul, Rock, Classic Rock, Dance, Electro, Reggae, Salsa, Samba, Bossa Nova, Jazz, and even a sprinkle of Radio/Top 40.  I’ll be there Saturdays, sometime between 3pm and 11pm.  This weekend, I’ll be there from 3-7pm.  Again, at the bottom of the post there’s some mixes you can download.  It was recorded live from here a few weeks ago.

Also later this weekend, tune into JAM’N 94.5.  Soon as I have an exact time, I’ll let you all know.  Shout out once again to the homie Pup Dawg for putting me on.

and now… the reason you clicked on this to begin with… Free Music.  It was recorded live from Hotel Erwin on the 19th.  One of the days where we couldn’t use the monitor, so this is all “in the headphones” mixing.  I broke it down by the hour, so if you load it into your iTunes or iPod, and set your gaps to 0, it should play seamless.  Had to throw in a bunch of random drops, cause I can’t give you 4 hours of music and not tell you who put it together.  Enough reading for you?  Fine… go ahead and download here:

• High – June 19 2010 part 2
• High – June 19 2010 part 3
• High – June 19 2010 part 4

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.

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

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.

BAD KNEWS Birthday Shindiggity (The whole night)

As I mentioned in my last post, the homie DJ Pup Dawg put me on his station Jam’N 94.5 for the Labor Day weekend mix show.  They were mixing all weekend and brought in DJs from around the world.  He had me on reppin LA.. along with another homie DJ Icy Ice.

For those of you that weren’t in Boston, or weren’t by a computer… I’ve uploaded the mix for you to download.  I also haven’t done anything commercial in a long time… so here it is.

Last Friday I DJed at Sugarfoot @ The Verdugo Bar.  The resident DJ happens to be none other than Hey Mesa.  One half of the Cocaine Kids, and Original member of Livitup Productions.  If you know me, then you should know Livitup is my original DJ crew.  If you couldn’t make it out last Friday, You can download these mixes.  Just like I did with the re-MOVE mix, its not live from the event, but its live from home.  Scratch Lives keeps a good history if what you played, so I took that list and recorded these, as close to how I did it that night, as possible.  In part 2 I threw in an extra song.  If you were there, see if you can pick it out.  Anyways.. download and have fun.

A few weeks back my good friend  DJ EvilLincoln asked me to come out to his weekly Tuesday night and do a set.  They do MOVE, every Tuesday night at Holly’s.  The idea behind it is.. “good music”  or “non typical music”.  Its no hassle, no dress code, no cover.  Its Hollywood without the bullshit.  I definitely recommend stopping in to check out the spot.

Of course, I always invite people out, but some people couldn’t make it.  Maybe 2 people asked “what did you play?”  I kinda made it up along the way, so I couldn’t remember everything…. but… Taking advantage of the updated history feature on  Scratch Live’s newest version, I had exactly what I played that night in order.  So I decided to just record it, exactly as it is.  Live, one take, as close to that night as I can remember.  (Slight cheat… the last 2 songs, I switched the order.  Other than that, its exactly as it was on my play history)

So here’s a free mix… and again… be sure to check out MOVE @ Holly’s (in Hollywood) every Tuesday night!!
