Whoever is reading this in blog land, I hope this entry helps you become familiar with my style of music and taste and why I mix what I mix. For example, I just did a slow mix but the song selection is so multi-genre, that it is really crazy. Here is the track-listing: -
J Cole Neighbors Instrumental
One Summer Night - The Danleers
Mariah Carey - Breakdown
the equatics walk on by 1972
patsy cline - crazy
Phil Ranelin - Vibes From The Tribe
Chaka Khan and Rufus - Tell me something Good
Nightmares on Wax - Passion
The Sly Slick and Wicked - Hey Love
Hit It and Quit It
Kendrick Lamar - HUMBLE.
Keith Sweat - I'll Give All My Love to You
Mike Jones - Still Tippin(instrumental)
The Budos Band - T.I.B.W.F. (2005)
Mos Def - Kalifornia
Ribbon In The Sky Lyrics - Stevie Wonder
Bobby Oroza - Should I Take You Home - side b
So it's obvious why as you could read how all over the place these songs are together. However, they all work so harmoniously together that it is pretty amazing. All of these songs are around 137-160 beats per minute. Some are instrumental only and some are acapella only, slow songs, slow jazz, slow oldies and a couple of r&b songs. The bridging of the gap between rhythm and blues and rock, however, does tend to sometimes get trickier. These songs are all blended and arranged very well to the point that they do mesh well together. If I would've have thrown in a classic rock song, perhaps it would've worked. It all depends on the sound of the song. My goal as a dj is to break barriers and go beyond the normal limits of each genre and how that particular genre sounds in most dj mixes. My dj mixes will push to create something new out of what would normally be ordinary.
