rap hits took a hard right into some rock oops
wanted to compile some rap hits/guilty pleasures for peeps with hip-pop/R&B party joints (ones you really only want to hear when drunk) from puffy/biggie to dre/snoop etc... but then ended way off course my bad 🤷♂✌️ rx
ps: didnt know fx changed to 1/16th on that bowie pressure biscuit, shit crunched me man lol
2.5hrs of party hiphop edits&rmxs for the people into some bside boogie, thrown together late last night following an(other) long, insufferable blues game/drinking session.

APR 2014
so i dj'd my second ever wedding recently for the nicest couple you'd ever meet (much love m&k!). standard practice for these things is to meet with the couple & get a list of songs for their day including the ones they *must* hear.
their list was fun, mainly 90's R&B jams so decided to play around with their tunes and recorded it for them as a remembrance.
this is that mix.
SEP 2005
bootlegs & mashups were (unfortunately) everywhere in the early-mid 00's so i decided to make a mix doing my own.
all of the blends here were acapellas & instrumentals mixed live on turntables. no serato. no ableton. no computer.
anyhow, some good shit here. i even play the stones at the end. random. (i do love that tune tho..
got to play 100% DILLA in a proper sound system tonight, so recorded it.. beer mixes & all!
