New Mix: Studio Fitty Foe

WTF?! Why do I keep doing this electro type music for? I guess it’s because its fun to mix. I feel like I’m going on a journey when I mix electro tracks. I like finding those transitions that just sound perfect together and let them ride for a good 32, 64, or more bars sometimes.

Yeah, I don’t really listen to electro by my own powers but I love it in the club when the bass is hittin’ and the DJs are killin’ it. I sift through a shitload of it too when I am listening to music blogs. At that point, I just get into a “this works, this doesn’t work” mode as I pick songs that I could potentially use in a mix. I never really look for it though. I never search the artists. My trusted blogs, which I probably follow for hip hop, downtempo, bmore, indie, and so on, just seem to love electro as well, so its right in my face. Being the thorough person that I am, I got to listen to all the tracks that the blog is offering up, if I trust the blog. So you see, electro is always in my face, I will always be previewing and downloading tracks, and eventually making more electro mixes. Just hope somebody out there appreciates my work. I do appreciate mixing electro though, because it brings out a lot of my musical creativity that can’t be seen when I am mixing hip hop. Thank you electro, for bombarding me with your hits.

New Mix: The Come Up 1 Year Anniversary Set

This 30 minute set was created for a slot that preceded Mr. Choc (Beat Junkies) and eventually DJ Nu-Mark (Jurassic 5), who were guest DJs at The Come Up 1 year anniversary at the Terrace in Pasadena. And in the end, Mr. Choc and DJ Nu-Mark knew me by name, but not necessarily in a good way. They know “Spingineer” as the fuck that played electro on a night where the headliners don’t really fuck with that style of music. So now I am infamous for being an electro loving butty boy for the 12-13 minutes of electro I played that night. This is actually the first time I ever played electro at The Come Up, perfect timing I guess. So listen to the mix, especially the electro part which I call the “career killing piece of crap that no one danced too.” Enjoy.

So although I didn’t really get the respect I hoped for by some of the greatest DJs I ever heard of, I still was loving the crazy sets pumped out by Mr. Choc and DJ Nu-Mark. Shit is burned in my mind for the rest of my life, amazing.

BTW, I am turntable-less at this point after donating my turntables to Tiny Toones Cambodia at the Los Angeles leg of the world tour on Sunday, May 3rd, 2009. It was a cool event, the kids were very talented, and I feel confident my turntables, mixer, and other equipment will be put to good use and help save lives.

New Mix: Hollywood Dive Bar Musical

I really have no thought process for this mix. I just wanted to use some nice Indie and Electro tracks I have been dying to get to all your ears ASAP. I think it came together real nice and I hope you enjoy it. I call it “Hollywood Dive Bar Musical” cause I can imagine the cracked out/hipster versions of the “High School Musical” (which I have seen 20 times; 1, 2, & 3) cast singing the tracks and dance walking (is that what its called?) all over the shadiest Hollywood dive bar. Now that I think about it maybe I should have called it “La Cita Musical,” but I think the more generic name is equally as corny as “High School Musical” and I can’t un-dumb it down, so I’ll stick with my first choice. This is shorter than usual too, take that LinoType. I will start doing 20 minute mixes just so I don’t hear “your mixes are too long” from you anymore.
