1. A LIL’ WHILE AGO UNDERGROUND RAP LIFER 7L DROPPED A BLAZING 2 HOUR MIX FOR FRANK THE BUTCHER HIGHLIGHTING THE BEST OF DIPSET. AS A LONGTIME DIPSET FAN IT’S A LOT OF FUN TO REVIST THEIR GLORY DAYS IN THE FORM OF A WELL CONSTRUCTED DJ MIX. THIS SET HAS BEEN GETTING A LOT OF PLAY AT JB HQ.
2. OVER THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF I’VE SPENT A GOOD AMOUNT OF TIME IN LOS ANGELES AND A DEFINITE MUSICAL HIGHLIGHT HAS BEEN DJ SETS BY TOTAL FREEDOM. VERY INSPIRATIONAL BEHIND THE CDJS AND A GOOD REASON TO LEAVE WHATEVER BASEMENT I AM CURRENTLY CRASHING IN FOR THE EVENING. HIS NEW MIX FOR OPENING CEREMONY DOES NOT DISAPPOINT.
-DAM-FUNK IS ONE OF THE MOST ENTERTAINING AND AWESOME DJ’S IN THE USA. THIS DECEMBER HE CAME OUT WITH A PRETTY MINDBLOWING MIX OF GOSPEL BOOGIE-FUNK. TO BE HONEST THIS WAS A MICROGENRE I HAD NO IDEA EXISTED BUT I’M GLAD IT DOES BECAUSE THIS MIX RULES.
MY FRIEND AND RECENT AUSTRALIAN TOUR MATE BIG FREEDIA MADE HER TV DEBUT LAST NIGHT ON JIMMY KIMMEL! THIS IS BIG FOR SO MANY REASONS THAT I PROBABLY DON’T EVEN NEED TO EVEN TELL YOU. YOU KNOW, I KNOW. LET’S JUST CELEBRATE. IF YOU ARE IN LA, FREEDIA PERFORMS TONIGHT AT THE BOOTLEG THEATER. WATCH HER PERFOMANCE ABOVE. BIG FREEDIA ONLINE.
IT MAKES ME VERY HAPPY TO SEE MY OLD FRIEND AND TOUR MATE MNDR DOING BIG THINGS IN THE POP GAME AND IT MAKES ME EVEN HAPPIER TO SEE HER WORKING WITH THE VISIONARY CODY CRITCHELOE FROM SSION ON HER NEW VIDEO. “#1 IN HEAVEN” IS AN ANTHEM WITH A VIDEO TO MATCH BUT THAT’S NOT ALL!
