Mixtape Riot

For your downloading pleasure – a bit less hip-hop/r&b/soul and a bit more dance-rock new-wave post-punk socialist-marxist libertarian-green working families, this mix is a lot of one-two drums, sweet and sour synth lines, perfectly pitched off-keyness, lump-in-your throat nostalgia, and commas. Enjoy.

Today I’m sharing the mixtape that I made specifically for that event (all the guests got to take home a copy). This mix has a lot of my all-time favorite African tunes, which somehow I’d never put together before, plus a lil something special for all those 80’s babies out there. Check out more info on their organization LYDIA, and make a tax deductible donation if you can. Then enjoy the good music… (more…)

“From 9:00 Until” is courtesy of Soul Imperial selectors Elegante and Ballantino. This is a mix to make you feel good and help celebrate life, just like we’ve been doing in Brooklyn so far this summer. The tracks come from a wide variety of genres ranging from old to new, and include a couple of fresh remixes from the MTR fam as well. (more…)

For the Tripping mix, Still Life put together a solid 30-minute collection of funky, syncopated afrobeat- old and new. It’s definitely danceable, but also dubby and lazy enough to accompany a nice Sunday hammock session (if only I had a hommock!). We still haven’t had the opportunity to actually DJ a party together yet, but hopefully we can remedy that situation soon.

Our fist offering is basically a recorded manifestation of what DJ O and I do live. Some original tracks and remixes, some tunes made by friends and family, and other hotness old and new that we’re feeling (doesn’t matter how you want to label it). If you’re having a house party, throw this mix on for guaranteed results. Or just party in your head while you’re riding the train. Download now and BUMP LOUDLY! (more…)
