New Mix for Aritzia

The Rub for Aritzia | DJ Eleven by Aritzia

Sitting down compiling the tracklist for this mix, I knew what I wanted immediately: a Sunday night party from beginning to end, condensed into 70 minutes. Hitting recent R&B, nu disco, remixed classics, house, and a grand dubstep finale, the whole mix is Sunday soulful & exactly what I want to hear after a long weekend of partying and an even longer week of work ahead.   You can find the full tracklist after the jump.

Heavy Warmup mix

Mixes on Crossfaded Bacon

“No two days are alike, except the first and fifteenth pretty much!!”

The homies at CrossfadedBacon.com are relaunching their 1st & 15th mix series. And, in preparation, they’ve re-upped all of the mixes they’ve posted in the past.  Head on over here to grab my Mannie Fresh & MOP mixtapes, along with joints by Bo Bliz, Emynd, Kenny Fiesta, Ayres, Apt One, and Scottie B.

The Kickdrums: That’s Them!

I’ve been a fan of The Kickdrums since I first heard their David Axelrod flipping “Just A Game” in 2009.  But Fitts & Tilla have been on their grind a lot longer than that and their discography is crazy.  They’ve produced for 50 Cent, Chamillionaire, Joell Ortiz, Little Brother, Ray Cash, Ben Harper, and Good Charlotte, to name a handful of their credits.

On Feb 21st, I’m dropping their ‘Something’s Gotta Give” EP on 11 Inch Records.  (It includes remixes by Kutcorners, Sammy Bananas, Emynd, Sticky Noodles, Audience, and Skinny Friedman.)  But first!  It’s time for a look back at some of my favorite of their jams.  With appearances by the RZA, Kanye West, Kid Cudi, Joell Ortiz, Wale, Young Chris, and Peter Bjorn & John, I give you The Kickdrums at their finest.

Mannie Fresh Love

It’s been mad long since I dropped “50 Minutes of Fresh”, my ode to the genius of Mannie Fresh, but the Village Voice picked up on it yesterday and spread a little love to get folks ready for Fresh’s guest spot at reOPENed last night.  In case you missed the mix, here it is one mo’ gin, along with the Voice’s perfect synopsis of the tape.

50 Minutes of Fresh

Mad 90′s Lovin’

The good homie, Rob Pursey, just killed another mix of some of my favorite jams.  I’ll let him explain: “Here’s just a little mix I did of those bedroom bangers that ruled our world in a different time and place – the 90s – and something for the ladies and the sensitive thugs out there to relate to. Mixed live as always, this is all about some downtempo business from the greatest RnB artists of the decade. Simple.

Enjoy!”
