[DJ Mix] DJ Mensa presents Hibernation

I’m late posting this but with even yet more snow last night when I was coming home from dinner at a friend’s this seemed apropos to post now still:



“For better or for worse, this has been the winter everyone’s been waiting for. The one we were bound to get because we’ve been getting it too easy with global warming the past two years. The east coast’s been Pacquiao’ed with packed snow for two months straight. My city’s about to be tucked in another 30cm blanket of it tonight, and bumpers everywhere are going to be bruised over the next week. No fun for most.

Following up where Cabin Fever left off, Hibernation is an exploration in lo-fi: soft keys, warm bass, and all kinds of intimacy. Amazing remixes of R’n’B standards, left field covers of others and, of course, The-Dream. Far from a slow jam tape, but definitely a gateway to foreplay, or something.

Use your sick days up wisely.”



Track List:
The Roots ft. George Benson – Breezin’
Oliver Daysoul – Finer Things In Life
John Legend – Live It Up
Ayah – 4:15 (Apollo Brown Remix)

Slakah The Beatchild – Something Forever
Aaliyah – Rock The Boat (Mawkus Remix)
R. Kelly – Number One Hit
Avila Bros. ft. Shelea – Let It Go
Teedra Moses – Be Your Girl (Siik Remix)

Foreign Exchange ft. Jesse Boykins & Median – Make Me A Fool

[Mixtape] DJ M-Rock – The Best of Kanye West

I posted this on the Kitchen‘s Facebook page a month ago but the buzz has been building and this kid’s from a Toronto and a helluva DJ so I’m posting it on the blog proper. Don’t sleep! Check it out….

“I lack fanciness in writing and in the artwork (which I did myself), but I promise you my skills as a DJ are sharp as a ginsu on this tape. It took me 3 weeks, probably between 100 – 200 hours to get it right (I’m picky). I really went deep in to give music fans something articulate: scratches, digital juggles, lots of blends, studio edits and tricks. If you play it on an iPod or in iTunes, the tracks are all chapters and there’s a pic for every chapter representing the song. I’d like people to rate this among the best tapes ever, but you guys be the judge, diss it, love it, hate it, whatever, let me know what you think.”

[Mixtape] Thunderball – Theme Music for Players and Ladies

From the homies over at Couch Sessions who premiered this:

“The trio of Rob Myers, Steve Raskin and Sid Barcelona, also known as Thunderball, has been on the international scene for a minute now. As purveyors of sound under Washington, DC’s ESL Music, the trio blends their electronic sounds with old school cinematic influences. Known as the purveyors of sound, Thunderball has been on the scene since 1997, beginning with drum and bass and dub sounds, and morphing into the multi-faceted sound that you hear today.

Like many ESL artists, they sky is the limit for Thunderball, and they have even collaborated with the legendary . Their latest effort, 12 Mile High dropped this past November to rave reviews (some on this site), and the trio are slated to play Coachella this April. Their latest mix, Theme Music for Players and Ladies blends all of their sounds over such artists as Tupac and Aloe Blacc. Enjoy….”
