January Jump Off Workout Edition

 

 

What can I say?

I’m a sucker for a challenge.

Mr. Ellingsworth and his ideas.

Sooner or later, one of these days, one of us is gonna get killed!

LOL

What amount of craziness can I cram into one mix?

Well, we already know the answer to that one.

But how about this…40 tracks, 2 hours.

And yes folks that’s a legit 40 tracks, every one of them plays

Dare ya to figure out where they all are though.

Doing mix tapes for a personal trainer was one of my

first paying gigs back in the late 90’s

so when the challenge came to come up with a running

mix with some dubstep and a faster bpm than I usually mix

I couldn’t resist the challenge!

And I even threw in a personal challenge to myself.

Run 4 tables, not intermittently, but CONTINUOUSLY!

There are brief moments where less than 4 songs are playing at once,

but that’s the exception, not the norm this time!

So Meet Me At The Love Parade!

Get ready to go for the burn, cause this disc is ON FIRE!

Please be careful if you ACTUALLY plan on working out with this mix.

It’s unrelenting from about the 10 minute mark till the 1hr 20 minute mark.

There are very few breaks, dips or pauses.  Please consult your physician if

you plan on starting a new workout regimen, and by all means work smart

not hard!

Well, can you see left field?

Take a look a bit farther, you’ll see where I’m coming from with this one!

Patron, Rose, Nuovo

I got them bottles goin full throttle!

Dipping in a few pots that I usually don’t combine in one mix

we’ve got dubstep, drum n bass,

electro, electro-tribe, breaks,

and the styles keep rolling.

This mix is highlighting my favor for unsigned talent

Mad props goes out to DJ Aylen, you’re tracks ROCK!

All my Souncloud followers, feel free to tag your work.

For this installment, I went way out in left field to get it poppin.

22 Nov

We’ve got you SURROUNDED…almost

 

 

 

let’s try this again!!!

So come out with your HANDS UP!

Get ready to get your groove on in a whole new fashion.

Yes, here at DJNaveE.com, I’ve always tried to ensure

of some pretty high sonic standards.

This time around, I’ve decided to up the ante quite a bit.

Not only instead of just making sure that I balance and master

the tracks to sound great on regular headphones and speaker systems

this time I’ve taken the added step to make sure that if you are

bangin these mixcasts on your surround sound system

you’ll get improved sonic quality

custom mastered for a 5.1 environment!

November Knockin Part 3 in Stereo

With the holidays rapidly approaching and with a ton of some new tracks

 quite a few old ones, and a boat load of new software, it’s time to crunch out

some banging new mixes.

At the suggestion of a couple of fans who like the longer mixes

instead of the split ones that require you add them to a playlist,

I decided that it is time for a full length banger.

This one is on the electro, 8bit, and naturally minimalistic tip.

There are over 35 tracks spanning just short of 3 hours (by a few minutes).

Ann Nesby makes a revisit, this time in a slightly different fashion.

I’ve got some S Club 5  (yeah its ripped right out of the video game)

Kaskade and some of his new banging mashups make an appearance

Adam Beyer, Nicky Romero, Tommy Trash

the one and only Cajmere

Green Velvet

and a few new tracks that are unavailable, and heard here exclusively by

Fredda L (banging track absolutely banging)

Peter Pitzzutelli (you need to look this dude up)

Eddie Thoneick

Erick Deeks & Lauren Neko

Suzanne Vega (yes, AGAIN!)

brought up a really good oldie from iiO

Afrojack

Deniz Koyu

Christina Aguliera

Amy Winehouse

and the list goes on and on, and so do these beats.

This mix was done with a nice electro-minimalist vibe, and has some interesting presence.

It was so good, I had to embark on a new sonic mission I’ve had for over 10 years

I mastered this version of the mix to have regular stereo separation,

HOWEVER

in case you are one of those audiophiles, and you have an awesome system

or you just like to bang things out on your surround sound system

you might want to take a listen to the 5.1 mixdown version

that’s featured on the next posting!

Veterans Day Disc 2

 

 

 

With such a stellar beginning, how could I just end a disc like that?

How wrong of me I know, but then again, I’ve got the cure

DISC 2 is here with more of the madness!

Yeah more DJ Funk

More Sneak

and for this one…

BON JOVI!

I know, I lost my mind.

ENJOY!

Veterans Day 2011 Disc 1

Unfortunately, with the recent demise of the HCBD series of mixes

(R.I.P.)

and with the special day being 11-11-11

I had been mulling over this idea for quite some time.

I figured, why not make something a bit more fun than usual.

I wasn’t originally planning on making it for Veterans.

It doesn’t have much of a military theme to it either.

It’s just that it’s an unbridled let your hair down good time!

First off, this is the new mix as a result of the massive technology infusion of October.

The new lappy, new OS’es, and lots of other goodies have been tossed in.

With that, there has also been the massive procurement of music,

and a getting in touch with some old friends with some old goodies.

Where do I begin? I don’t know where I get these ideas, but for example…

who in a minimal mix throws in Nirvana?

ME

Jodeci? Wait wait, did I really type that…

YUP I dug up Jodeci!

CZR?

Me

Toss in some Danny Teneglia, Rosabel, Boris Rush,

This one is way to crazy to describe, and being spatially mixed for 5.1 enjoyment

Let’s say this one is audacious.  I hope you like it!

W.O.P.A.W. A Tribute…

I’ve always had this affinity for good soul stirring Baptist Church rhythms, and how it’s had the ability to stir up the soul.

As a DJ, of course you want to be able to tap into that power, and also be able to celebrate that energy and passion.

I’ve had a favorite vocalist for many decades, Vernessa Mitchell, and she’s a member and affiliated Psalmist to my church. I’ve grown up watching her and her pipes bring people to emotional bliss with her vocal prowess.

Upon hearing that she would be back in town, and performing at a local church, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to have my ears blessed by her powerful gift.

I struggled with this notion for weeks, and nothing came of it, until BAM, it all fell in place today.

Original concept was supposed to be only her music, but that wasn’t a large enough body of work for me, and I’d be remiss in not including newer compositions from other artists as well.

Honestly, this style of music has been written off by most as heathen’s music, druggie dope den stuff to trip on and commit all sorts of sins to.  While that might be true to an extent, it doesn’t have to be that way, and I’m glad that these women have found a way to transcend that, and also without being preachy or dogmatic, find a way how to bring the gospel, and a message of love acceptance into such arenas, and gain such acceptance as they have.

So I enlisted the help of Tamara Wallace and Oscar G., Funky Green Dogs, Mary Mary to allow this to be a big barn burning piece of revival.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did

Yours in Groove…

DJ Nave E

Angry Mix arrives finally

After playing around with the notion,

after needing an outlet for wild aggression

I finally got the time and space to get into it sooo…

Here is the result

Be careful, it’s aggressive and deep.

The beats can get hard and loud as usual.

Salvo Me Dai…Disc 2

Getting into the thick of the mix

 

Disc 2 picks up right where Disc 1 leaves off,

Takes the intensity up a few notches,

and even refreshes the beat anty with some help

from Barbara Tucker of all people…

see if you can spot that one!
