i was looking through my mix sets and realized i don’t have a straight r&b one. so here it is. part of it is what ive been using live. would you also believe that i only found out about the michael jackson – butterflies track like very recently? i’m almost ashamed. oh well. enjoy.

deep golde & carmine
i’m in a really bbq-y mood right now. back in the day we used to have the at-the-park birthdays with balloons and party favors and nerf footballs and beef on a stick. there would be a whole lot of rice and lumpia too, with the red sauce. though right now, i can’t think of the last time i been to one – or it was probably a real long time ago. anyway. i must do that this summer. my cousin’s havin a baby in june, which hopefully means a resurgence in park birthdays. but even if not, as long as they got a moon jump at the pad, i’m happy. i’ll never get too old for those.

also as i woke up today (hella sick, man bein sick like literally is so GAY) and was looking at the site, i think that the whole digg thing is going about it all wrong. it’s hard to get someone to vote up on things – hell i won’t even do it. i’ll have to leave it to my own discretion, and condense the remixes page totally – keep only the bangers on it, and the other stuff can be in a leftovers page or something. i know for sure though that once all the albumart is done for each remix, it’ll look better when i display them on the page. like a grid of thumbnails and shit. k i’m totally nerdin out.

indescribable feeling
here’s a mix i made august of last year but never got to putting it out. i think my reasoning was that i didn’t enjoy it at the time, volumes were jumpy on the tracks, and when i’m already doubting like that i usually just dump and never upload it. but recently i’ve had it on my ipod and it’s good stuff. dunno why i even hesitated. most of the mix mirrors a live set i was doing at a friends party. enjoy.

sidereal
this mix takes it back. i’ve really been into some freestyle and electro lately (well, when i made the mix) and needed to put something together with it. plus i just wanted to hear da funk all over again, bumping hard. i myself never got into b-boying but i’m all down with poplockin and uprockin. this is the january mix, which is obviously late.. but better late than never!

calque
this mix is more upbeat with some latin influences. i’ve always enjoyed diverse music at 120bpm that *isn’t* bumping techno/electro. the first song’s guitar really makes me want to learn how to salsa, merengue, mambo, whateva. nevermind all that ‘modern’ business. it’s good and all, but i think in the long run knowing how to cha cha will get you places.

indelible
a bit of funk and more 90s hiphop action. and that kanye track does it to me.. meanwhile the album doesn’t really do it to me. i’m convinced that kanye produces better stuff for common than he does himself. faithful is still hands down one of my favorite songs ever.
