Hey Kids. I am back yet again with more new music. So this mix took a lot more effort than my recent efforts. I couldn’t find the right vibe and then once I did I had to keep editing out certain song because they didn’t give me what I needed her. So this mix is definitely just a touch less hard than the last several mixes. I know I will be disappointing some of my fans, but at the same time I will be pleasing others. I decided to embrace all sounds of my music interests even if it sometime confusing or disappointing to fans who expect a particular side consistently.
Truthfully, there are common ingredients for all my mixes. I have to have dope bass lines. I have to have thoughtful and meaningful vocals peppered throughout. I am sure some of you do listen to the lyrics, but they always provide insight as to whats up with me. The best part about this is I don’t necessarily consciously select songs for their lyrics. I sample dozens of songs and organize 13-17 songs that I might work with it. Its not until I fished the whole mix that I uncover the hidden meanings of my mixes.
So this mix reminds me of the legendary Junior Vasquez. He was famous for bring it hard with big beats but then transitioning into full on vocals and also featured songs that most other DJs wouldn’t touch. Most of the tracks are many years old, some 10 years or more. But at the same time I believe they are timeless, as they sound current as ever. There of course some new tracks.
So sorry for this novel, but I am feel rather proud and I am reflecting a great deal on this mix. Its fun and the energy remains high despite it not being full on circuit music. I hope you love this deeply personal mix, as it filled with some of my all-time favorites from pivotal moments in my evolution.
I am withholding the track listening because I want the gems to be surprises.
Love,
DJ Nadir Wright
