New Mix: Indienational

I had a lot of fun putting this mix together because I had a chance to get into genres, that before the last couple of months, I didn’t know much about. Thanks to the magic of the internet and music blogs, I was able to explore the music of the world from comfort of my desk job.

I am actually impressed with a lot of the Indie, electro, and international music that is out there. If you asked me 6 months ago, I may have ensured you that I could never get into those genres. But after actually sitting down and giving each track a listen, I have became a fan. I hope you enjoy this like I do.

New Mix: Neo-Soulish Styles + Some: Part 1 & 2

I always wanted to put together a neo-soul mix but I just never got around to it. With dope neo-soul songs, as well as songs from other genres that just seem to fit the mood, this is what I put together. Check parts 1 & 2. Thanks to DJ Siik, DJ Linotype, DJ Ocir and endless list of music blogs for some of the tracks and remixes that helped bring this all together. Sorry for the excess 4Hero, but they just make good music…

The Come Up Crew Podcast Vol. 5: Ignant as Ever Featuring Siik and Linotype

The Come Up Crew Podcast Vol. 5: Ignant as Ever (Click to download)

For this special Come Up Podcast edition, we have Siik and myself, LinoType, coming through on both hosting and music duties. This will mark my first appearanceon the podcast and I have to say it’s been long overdue. Please excuse all the fumbled words and soft vocals – there was only one mic and it was all one take. It’s better that way.

Siik describes his mix as ignant. “Put it in your car and wreck your subs”, he recommends. As for mine, it’s all Biggie. His movie just came out (it was aiight), and I felt I had to share my take on his legendary catalog. And for my money (and Siik’s), he is the greatest rapper to ever touch a microphone.
