What a perfect new years eve! That party was massive. I have to say that, technically, this mix sucks, I had no monitor and my serato vinyl was sweating as much as me, so there’s all kinds of glitches and fucked up mixes… and it was the first time i ever used a sample player (air horn). But the party was off the hook. No doubt about that. I wish I could DJ parties like this all the time. I love nothing more than playing 90s hits like they were made this year.
Peace 2009 and RIP Michael Jackson, DJ AM, Roc Raida, and Mister Magic.

I just have to say, i love going through old ass hard drives. I’ve got hard drives just sitting around and I plug them in, and voila! A mix I recorded to tape, and then to MP3 (and wma and real audio) for my old website.

This has some dope jams on it for the summer. I forgot about that Kerri Chandler track two. Vocoder, auto tune! Because he can’t really sing haha but he can make a bad ass house track. Word. He can scratch too I guess. Check out at about 50 minutes in when he talks about the track “inspiration” with Arnold Jarvis.

You can really see the Body and Soul influences here. I went to that party every damn week!

I started working on two mixes of new house jams and its taken me FOREVER to finish them…

Seems like finally I’ve gotten over my perfectionism and I’m ready to post them!

The first one is called STRETCHED!!! The second one is called New York 14 Hour special.

So the other day, I was dying to make a mix. And I was not feeling doing it through serato. So I busted out some vinyl. It turned out OK, the first few records I wasnt really sure what I was going for, and by the end I was blasting some hard house classics.

The mixing and levels are a little crazy, but i don’t care…

The tracklist goes a little somthin like this:

Tears Dry on Their own – Amy Winehouse (Alix Alvarez remix)
This song is amazing. Her lyrics and singing are so flawless, and Alix’s remix is really dope. I’m glad she went to rehab, she didn’t seem to be doing too well.

Asante – Timmy Regisford
This song, oh my god, I’ve yet to hear it on some real big speakers, but that bassline is so sick. When the high hat starts to sizzle and the percussion gets real thick… its BANANAS

No cure – Hardrive (AKA Masters At Work)
This beat just bangs. The sample is from a disco track, I can’t remember which but its really a hot beat. Reminds me of the old days.. from around 1997 or so.

Jerome Sydenham & Willie Graff – Brokeback
Hot track out on Ibadan records. I didn’t know it well when I mixed it, when I cut it short, I realized the best part is when it’s been playing for a while and you’re about 3/4ths of the way into it. That and I was really eager to play this:

Sunshine Anderson – Force of Nature (Blaze Remix)
I was wondering when Blaze was going to start making RnB remixes again. It seemed like they stopped for a while during the Elements of life tour, but these dudes are legendary. This is a great example. Best when heard on nice speakers. “excuse me y’all but I love his dirty drawers”
I hear what she’s saying, but ew, kinda.

Blaze – Lovelee dae – 20/20 Vision Remix Acapella
When playing this at full volume, I’m standing on top of a sand dune on Mars, and I’m about to blast off and fly across the entire universe. Upon my return to earth I will have brought with me some planet sized alien speaker technology that will turn the earth into a perfect world of peace and love.

Blaze – Lovelee dae
It sounds good with drums too.

Syren – My First Love – Frankie Feliciano Classic Mix
I’m a sucker for a deep house RnB remix. FF is really consistently good at this type of thing and I’ve been a fan for a long time.

Lina – Smooth (Timmy Regisford Remix)
Jill Scott’s labelmate. Its a nice song, the remix is good, but I have to say, it has the worst flute (keyboard) solo I’ve ever heard. As I’ve said before, I’m a sucker for a deep house RnB remix! Sped up vocals and everything.

Robin Thicke – Would That Make You Love Me (David Harness Remix)
So simple, yet so effective. Robin’s original material is dripping with falsetto soul, and the remix is groovy. Love it.

Wind parade remix
This is a remix of Donald Byrd – Wind Parade. I’m not sure who did it, but I’ll find out.

Algebra – Did it for Me – Jovonn Remix
another great rnb remix. I like that synth sound. Jovonn is really talented and has been making great records for a long time.

Kerri Chandler feat Monique Bingham – In the morning
I used to think this song was kinda boring, but I think I heard it out and when Kerri says “tell me you love me baby…” and Monique is like “I LOVE YOUUUU” I was hooked, now I get chills when I hear that part.

Blaze feat Sybil – When I fall in love (Quentin Harris Remix)
I just love this beat. That synth line and the vocal together is just bliss. Its a particular favorite of Heather’s.

Sara devine – Special (David Vibes Tobon Dub)
Utter crazyness. Just a total monster. What on earth does this have to do with the original song? I can’t tell, but I don’t really care. The synth solo is just wild, and it lasts the entire song.

Amerie – Gotta Work (Lets be young remix by Guy Robin & DJ Leo House)
Her voice is great, and this samples the Quentin Harris jam “Lets be young.” I think that horn sample is from garageband. But I’m not sure.

Jill Scott – Hate on me (Quentin Harris remix)
QH very rarely makes a bad song. Plus Jill’s vocals are huge.
