After tightening up an outdated holiday mix, I'm proud to announce an eclectic batch of Christmas-themed tunes for the obscure listener.

Hula in Oahu Mix

A trip to Hawaii and an engagement on Memorial Day (05/25/15) led me to make my first mix as engaged man!

Summerspiration 2015

The annual summer hiatus was filled with digging on both the east and west coast and here's a mix of some of the best tracks I scooped up!

Dining Room Breaks Revisited

Here's another mix I revisited that was once a staple in many a friends' collection of CDs.  Perfect for an afternoon of cleaning out the closet, reading coffee table books, strolling through the park or eating a pot roast like these folks...enjoy!

Wino Breaks Revisited

A long time ago I made a mix called "Wino Breaks" that was fairly well-received.  Given my collection, selection, and deejay skills have improved since I felt it was fitting to revisit the vibe of mix.  Great for a bike ride, skatepark jaunt, peppy sunday drive, folding laundry or cooking with wine...enjoy!

So Much More Heart Than Brains

I put together a mix some favorites from their two albums in honor of a much overlooked duo (i.e., Buck65 & Greetings from Tuskan).  Although their first album on Anticon may be quite difficult to find these days, I highly recommend their newest album "So Much Forever" on Fake Four.

Day In, Day Out - A DJ Day compilation (pt. 2)

Shortly after I made "All Day Long", DJ Day put out his sophomore album on the Piecelock 70 label.  Needless to say, I had to revisit and tweak the original mix to not only tighten it up, but also include tracks from his banging new album.  So without further "adu", please take a listen and give support the man who recently released a Serato record with remixes from the album "Land of 1000 Chances".

Go Ahead Buck!

After a recent concert to see Buck 65 at Mezzanine in San Francisco I was reminded of what a clever cat he was.  It was inspiring to see a Canuck mix jazz, blues, funk, folk, etc. and make it sound hip hop.  His musical craft is quite inspiring and I took it upon myself to mix a hodgepodge of his tunes that struck a chord with me.

Feelin' Good

This is a long overdue mix of some tracks I go back to time and again.  Basically they are all just tracks that make me feel good when I listen to them...

Music to Drive to...

I've always liked driving to "house" music.  There's just something about a continuous flow of 120ish tunes that keep me going in the car.  This fact, and that recently a good friend has turned me back onto this genre, motivated me to make this mix.  Nothing fancy...but some old and new tracks that remind me of my college days driving to and from UCSB.

Gimme Another Break

I've been thinking about making this mix for a while and finally got around to it over "ski week break" in February.  It's an uptempo mix filled with big drums, organic sounds, and silly vocals.  In general it encapsulates some of my favorites artists like DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist, DJ Format, DJ Day, Jon Kennedy, Quantic, Wagon Christ (aka Luke Vibert), Ben Westbeech, Mo Horizons, Ursula 1000, and others.  Hit me up if you want a playlist...

John Howard Cassettes

Although I've never been a huge house guy, I have a place in my heart for ALL the John Howard mixes I've received over time.  I think the first one I received was from KLN or Mappy back in 1995.  I recently rediscovered them and converted them to mp3s.  Please help yourself to some great tunes and "big up" to all the homies who hooked me up with these tapes over the years.  A super huge "BIG UP" to John himself for the selections, mixing, and general kindness over the years.

"Jon is unquestionably one of the leading beatsmiths of our era. Ever since Mr Scruff of Ninja Tunes dropped Jon' demo on his radio show in 2000 JK has consistently been bringing beats to make your feet move topped with sweet sweet melodies. Drummer, producer and DJ, Jon's flavour is pure dancefloor candy and has been busy rocking stages worldwide as a DJ and with his live band, the man is always representing the very best in UK based Funk, Soul & Hip Hop beats for your listening pleasure"
