New Mix: Guilty Pleasures Vol. 2

I put this shit together hella quick. 15 minutes to put together a 30 minute mix. I skip through the songs to points where I want mix so creating a set is much faster than performing a set. I pretty much made the set and then recorded it all within and hour or so.

I have been looking for new challenges in the sets I put together and I got a lot of things in the works from reggae-rock to Latin music. This mix includes a lot of the alternative music I used to listen to but have neglected in the last few years. So expect more of this genre testing and hopefully you’ll enjoy what I put out.

New Mix: Sound Therapy Vol. 1

I put this mix together for the new pre-party The Come Up Crew is trying to build at Lost Souls Cafe in Downtown LA. I believe it will be going down every 3rd Saturday of the month. Beer, wine, food, shakes, and coffee will be available for all patrons to enjoy while they listen to the great music the Come Up Crew pumps out…what a whack plug.

So the mix is chill…I bring in a shitload of genres together that I felt might help one chill. Hip Hop, Indie, RnB, Neo-Soul, Soul, Funk, Disco, Dub, and so on. Check ‘er out.

New Mix: Silverlake Sessions Vol. 1

Now that I have completed my move to Silverlake I plan on expanding on my style of mixtapes. I will still put out clean work that includes post-editing, but now I will start making raw and uncut freestyle mixes to let y’all inside my head when I am in practice mode or just feeling the vibe at the moment. I will try my best to get the neighbors on it (Dumlao and Mike Deuce) too.

Shit is raw and uncut and totally off the top of the head. Enjoy.

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.

12. Private – Secret Lover (Lifelike Remix)
13. Future Rock – That Sound

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.

Here is a photo mosaic of the event from :

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.
