I realized how wrong it is that I have two regional mixes representing Bay Area's hyphy movement- 'hot.block (03.02.06) and Git Stupid Dumb (10.16.06)- before I recognize DC's own local Go-Go scene. How wrong I am!

As you work your way through this mix you'll be moving back in time; I kick it off with some classic DJ Kool and conclude with Chuck Brown, the acclaimed Godfather of Go-Go. My intention is for this mix to stand on its own, but to also serve as the first half of my funk revival series. Look for the second chapter next time up.

Enjoy.

I've been at this for awihle now. My first posted mix was in October 2005 (Battle for Galactica). I was first posting VERY regularly, but I've increasingly slacked on meeting my own deadlines. Family responsibilities have taken center-stage, which isn't bad; I've just had to reorder some priorities... and how I tackle each and every mix. Early on, I was more concerned on how the mixes particularly sounded- not just the selection of music and transitions, but layering tracks together. -- mashing lite, I suppose. But that was an involved effort that, frankly, I was growing bored with. With a relatively limited amount of time with which to work, I found myself focusing more and more over time on JUST the RIGHT flow from one track to another. You can definitely hear this in newer mixes -- I have dropped my fear of silence and simply non-overlapped segues. I hope you enjoy the product(s) you have before you today.
