A Personal Blog Entry in regards to my music style & taste.

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.

My Creative Careers Colliding with Personal Life.

I want to do a mid life autobiography. Is that weird? I have a lot to say. A lot of questions that the public might have, I would like to answer those questions. I'm pretty sure that IS a thing. Perhaps I should do more homework upon that though lol. In all seriousness though, I would like to pursue that side of art. Books are a dying breed. I went into Barnes and Noble recently and felt such a happiness come over me and also a sadness at the same time. It's become obsolete to actually go into a book store and buy a book and then go home open it up and read it. Everything is digital now-a-days and it's not likely that people still enjoy the book reading experience. I would like to do that with a mid-career non-fiction novel. I would have to think long and hard about what I would name it. It would have to be super punk-rock and unique, also it couldn't be anything that most people would expect of me. It would have to have some sort of shock value. It seems that everyone ...

An Update from DJ Adree

🙏  I want to say a little prayer before I begin blogging, for being very grateful and honored to be playing music for the public. Please GOD hear our prayer and bring covid to an end! It's been quite some time since my last post. I feel almost embarrassed. It's been a busy but really productive year music and career wise. I now have my own radio show in San Pedro, CA called the Funk Angel Radio Show and it's on 100.7 FM KCLA-LP it actually hasn't launched yet so it's still in production at the moment and everyone should expect it's arrival around June. Thanks for your patience.  Also another milestone coming up, I'm going to be a returning guest on Soundwaves Radio KPFK 90.7 FM shout out to DJ Val the Vandle. That will be on Feb. 27th 2021. Archived in history along with my March 23, 2019 radio debut. I've had several radio spots since. Each one a new and exciting opportunity I could say I accomplished and learned from.  I have joined forces with the FU...
