Back In The Day (Winter 2018 Hip Hop Mix)

1/3/2018

2 Comments

 

I wanted to create something thoughtful and beautiful; something to listen to while warming up with a rye whiskey and watching the snow fall. I have deep love for jazz and as much as I love jazzy hip hop,
I didn't want to create a mix that was just one jazzy hip hop track after another. I love those mixes. I've heard a lot of them, but I wanted to do something a little different. I don't recall ever listening to a hip hop mix that incorporated unfiltered/remixed vintage jazz and doo-wop. So, I set out to create the kind of mix that I would want to hear and that I would listen to over and over again until the end of my days.

This mix was a real challenge. I oscillated between Serato and vinyl much more than I normally do. Also, I experimented with manipulating the vinyl as well as exaggerated pitch. I wanted to learn new techniques, but tried not to go overboard. My main focus was to seamlessly incorporate jazz and hip hop. I wanted the transitions to feel as natural as a sunrise and sunset. Full tracklist on Youtube!

Happy New Year! You can download the mix, here. Please enjoy!

Hey, guys! So, this upload is long overdue. Sorry about that! I'm excited to share this set with y'all. This represents my second opportunity playing for a live audience. I'm really happy with the performance. I ended up playing under some difficult circumstances and had people bumping into the table where my equipment was set up. I think I trainwrecked maybe once in the 90 minute set, so that's decent. Haha.

Anyway, you'll find a full tracklist below and you can download the mix here. Thanks for listening! :D

Mal Pais (Summer 2016 Hip Hop Mix)

7/1/2016

Hey, folks! I'm back with another mix! :D It's short, but sweet. Four or five minutes is a really long time for a hip hop track, nowadays. Most are like one to three minutes tops. Since I didn't really feel like mixing 14 tracks or whatever just to get like 30 or 40 minutes, I decided to value quality over quantity.

With my first hip hop mix, I focused on the story and the journey, so the track order was more important than beat matching. However, this time around, I focused a lot more on my transitions, so this mix shows a lot more technical ability. I just hope that the story didn't get lost in the fray. =)

These particular tracks kept me super chilled out when I was on vacation in Costa Rica, hence the title of the mix. Each song takes me back to that amazing time in my life, so they bring a lot of joy. <3
I hope you can feel a little bit of that happiness, too! Click here* to download. Sit back, relax and enjoy!
