What up everybody,
Been a couple months since I’ve hit you with some new mixes. Trust me, I’ve been fiending as much as you guys have. It’s been a hectic 2010 right out the gate what with defending Thre3style, the untimely closing of Social Experiment (RIP Octopus Lounge), my regular nights (Reign, Main Ingredient) going hard, and setting up a big West Coast swing in a couple weeks. Life’s been good!
But in the midst of all that, I let my hard drive fill up with a bunch of amazing tracks that hadn’t seen the light of day. Songs that had that “coolout” sensibility. So when the dust settled, there was nothing else to do but conduct some well-timed Spring Cleaning!
I’m getting back to basics with this new mix, though. In the spirit of Spread Love, and The Exquisite Mix, this here is my interpretation of music for the spring time. No crazy cuts, but some dope blends. No big crescendo, but definitely hot from beginning to end. I’m pretty ADD when I spin live, but I let a lot of these songs breathe, and deservedly so! Close to 140 minutes of goodness. Enjoy!
