The Night Before New Years 2007

So it's New Years Eve. I don't really make resolutions or anything but I made this mix last night and had a real good time doing it. I thought maybe recording a bunch of my records and sharing them would be a good use of time in the coming year so I made this blog. I've always thought these things were pretty lame but I guess this could be a fun little project.

Anyway, this mix was totally off the cuff with whatever was on the floor waiting to be filed away. You might notice the first handful of records are all on labels that start with "P". It could be coincidence but possibly not...regardless, they go well enough. The mixing is pretty loose but whatevs, it's very deep right from the get-go and just gets dirtier as things progress - including some real tracky numbers that I rarely get around to playing.
Late night biz!

EDIT: so, it appears the zshare link is gone and I can't find the original file anywhere sooo.... i'm probably just going to repeat a bunch of the tracks off this mix on a new one with some fresh jams. SOON!


HOUSE!

ROOTS/LOVERS/DISCO/DUB - SPRING 2007

This is a mix I made in the spring of this year. It is based on a minidisc I had recorded about two years ago that I thought had a pretty good flow. The first 6 or 7 songs are true to that recording but the latter portion got a rework.

The first bit is pretty rootsy and soulful which gives way to a couple dub and disco versions, some late 70's dancehall jams and ends up with a few of my favorite Wackie's numbers. I threw in some of my own edits and some extra delays as well once it was recorded into Logic. I hope ya dig.
