A mix I did for the Housewreckaz radio show # 164 on July 28, 2017 with Artz tha Reelz hosting. This one is on the soulful house tip with lots of vocals. Hope you enjoy!

This is a live all vinyl set I played for Vinyl Fridays @ Subliminal Radio with hosts Arman, Pete Dub, and Ruben Who? Brandon Anjeleno on the mic for Subliminal Radio. Please enjoy and download if you please.

This is Part II of a live mix I did at Revival in August, 2016. Start with Part I though! Enjoy!

This is a live mix I did for my buddy Pat Saphyakhajon's birthday. It's broken up into two links. This particular link is the 1st of two hours I played that night. Thanks to Jose Marin of Revival for hosting me and Brandon Anjeleno of Subliminal Radio for recording the set. My set starts about 6 minutes after Rudy V crushed it on his set. You can check out Rudy V and Juliet Mendoza's set on Sublim...

Finally, my first mix of 2016! Quite delighted with the way this one came together but you can be the judge of whether it floats your boat or not. Sprinkles of atmosphere, inspiration, sophistication and danceable beats is the loose description I'd give of this. The song selections are as follows: 1. Deep' Hole "Gone too Soon" 2. Exte C "Story Teller" (Broken Biza Original Mix) 3. Dzo, Deej Leboto...

Future beats that progress from inspirational, dreamy and feel good to harder, rawer type sounds. Weighty tunes from the 2000 Black collective and Dego who collectively push the creative edge. Altered Natives adds the finishing touch at the end with his remix of Toyc's "Ruffer." The selections are: 1. Max Riolo "Soul Eaters" (Loris Conte remix) [Rimoshee Traxx] 2. Blanco-Teez "Reverse the Picture"...

This mix is my heart. It's a way to get to know me from a non-conversational standpoint.

Missing Soul "Across Your Mind" [Future Vision] 2. King Wave & Soul Varti ft. Dvine Lopez "Salute" (Deep Sen's Appreciation Touch) [House A...

Happy new year all! Hope this mix finds you well. Here, you have another of the themes in Chaka Delic's "world of music." Not quite sure how to describe the sounds here, but if forced to would say that there are sprinkles of disco, "nu-disco," "neo-soul," a smidgen of techno leaning sounds. Anyhow, hope you all enjoy. More to come from me this year for sure!

Back to the old school and done the old school way (All vinyl, two turntables and a mixer). This mix showcases a different aspect of the sounds I like - soul and a bit of disco funk. It's more about the journey and selection here; not claiming to break the ultra rare and elusive, although you certainly won't find a couple of these easily and/or without paying good money for it. :) The mix is rough...

Fancy new mix I whipped up this past Mother's Day weekend. I think mum would have enjoyed the sweet aspect of this more than the bitter. Nevertheless, she would have delighted in it all. RIP! This one is a journey from the sweet to the bitter, although, truth be told, even the bitter is kind of sweet. Broken beat, house, latin flair, bass heavy sounds -- all in here. Shokazulu, Rima, Jazztronik an...

I was motivated to do this by the Tatham, Mensah, Lord & Ranks release, the fact that it's been a while since I've made a mix, and a rainy day in Los Angeles, This was randomly put together, i.e. no predetermined concept or order. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did making the mix. Yes, the second song is from the Tatham, Mensah, Lord & Ranks release -- "Mind Skies." Get that album if you k...
