Inverse Discourse (A Joe Beats Compilation)

Another beat maker extraordinaire from the east coast. Included in the mix are 62 minutes of my favorites from his Lex and Bully Records releases, as well as a few CDs and 45s. Big-ups to "Jose Betas" for sending me the vinyl recently at the nice price. I hope y'all dig it as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

Good Times with Maker

Producer extraordinaire Maker was on my list for a long overdue mix. I finally got around to putting it together this summer with motivation coming from two new releases (i.e., Maker vs. Now Again 2 and Qwel & Maker "Beautiful Raw"). It's just good ole banging drum-heavy beats with an occassional mc to boot. Enjoy...

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.
