mix
bangups deux
the original premise of bangups was that my buddy matt needed a mix to throw on at a party, so i whipped up that premade mix for him, and he said it rocked the house. good times. fast forward to a few weeks ago to my man nelsons birthday bash. last year he threw his poolside party as well, there were mad fools up in it, and i had made a playlist of tunes to go on through the night. this year however, i was asked to dj it live, honorably making it my first live set ever. (because i don’t have tables.. yeah!) i mean i’ve fucked with tables and can mix (sort of?), but i’d never actually done it.. live, and with a crowd. so yeah i was nervous and i fucked up more times than i cared to and yadda yadda. but the set was solid, people grooved, and ever since then i’ve been listening to the playlist i made for it. so here it is for your enjoyment, another partyish bangups set that runs a whoppin 90 minutes. and i already had cut down a crapload of songs i wanted to put on it too. not gonna put a tracklist yet because i want to blow yall minds, but it runs at around 130bpm and has all sorts of 80s/booty bass/electro/bmore/nurave(is that the real term? can we come up with a better term? what about ’shit that sounds like justice’)/etcetc.
youre gonna like the way it sounds. i guarantee it.

that new jack
this is the mix that i’ve been wanting to make for a long time. i LOVE new jack. its really positive, really harmonious, and really throws me into the ‘back in the days’ mode. my only hangup was that there was so much good stuff, and i couldn’t condense it into a small type of mix… so i made two. three, in fact. it’s comprised mainly of the r&b side of new jack, so no big daddy kane and rap of the like - i think cosmo baker came out with a hot new jack mix that incorporated all of that stuff, so look for that one. i’ve uploaded parts 1 and 2, but there is an extra special 1+2+3 extended mix, which clocks in shy of an hour and thirty minutes. it should suffice for long driving. i hope you all enjoy this as much as i enjoyed compiling it. not including a tracklist because you really should know all the songs.

all i want
i really like this one. as usual, i will liken my mix(podcasts?) to the weather or the time of day: this is great for cold afternoons. it’s also TWICE as good if you have the sound of waves crashing playing at the same time. in fact i think i’ll just add waves crashing to all my shit.

jam on it
i was scanning some pictures for my parents - some old gems from the time they were dating to when they got married, and boy were my parents hip. mom got the lacoste game on lock and dad with chest-out polos and all that good stuff. my mom said she used to hit the disco. i can only imagine. they also told me about an old and timeless filipino disco song that’s pretty rad. youtube has nothin on it except a cute kid singing his cover of it, so that will have to suffice.
(and yo, who is this kid? he’d take me to school at karaoke.)
