This mix is very unique if you can just let it happen... It's just an odd mishmash of tunes and I'm very happy with the way it turned out. Hopefully you're groovin' to it as well. I usually don't tag mixes as explicit but NWA is exceeding explicit. (Part One of Three)

*Explicit Warning* - This is an unrehearsed live set recorded at the Squire Lounge in Billings Montana. While the majority of my edits are clean, I've been playing more unedited tracks recently.

I never really liked Riptide by Vance Joy until I heard Shayna perform it. Her version is better but I didn’t have that so I mixed in the Vance Joy version at about the 31 minute mark transitioning out of Who Am I by Snoop Dogg and into No Sleep ‘Till Brooklyn by the Beastie Boys.

Thanks for helping me rediscover this song Shayna so that I was able to make this oddly addictive mix.

This is a non-rehearsed live set performed at the Squire Lounge in Billings Montana. It's called "Till we run out of tape!" because my current recording setup can only grab the first 3ish hours of my set. If you wanted to hear the final hour, you just gotta be there. *Improved Audio Quality*

Had a dream I got hired by the Madrigal Corporation to DJ in a secret underground lab with 3 other DJs. We came in, set up our decks and piped into the mainframe for 8 hours a day so they could create an algorithm to simulate mixes on services like Spotify. Didn't realize I was working for the bad guys in Breaking Bad until I woke up and googled Madrigal. At least it paid well.

John Legend & Kelly Clarkson Release Their New “Baby It’s Cold Outside” – Planet 106.7

New PC version of "Baby It's Cold Outside". Thanks Casey @ Planet 106.7 for sharing this with me.

John Legend and Kelly Clarkson have recorded a new version of the holiday tune “Baby It’s Cold Outside,” changing some of the outdated lyrics, which were criticized for being date rape-y and just wrong in light of the whole movement. Well, now the song is out.

How A Financial Crisis Created K-pop - The Daily Vox

Fun fact, K-Pop was created by the Korean Government as way to pay back a loan to the IMF. And now we have BTS.
https://www.thedailyvox.co.za/how-a-financial-crisis-created-k-pop/

Anyone who is on the internet has to know about K-pop. (Or indeed, anyone who reads The Daily Vox – editor) With synchronised dance moves, colourful hair, and high-quality music production, the K-pop industry and its artists have masses enthralled. However, the K-pop machine is far more than prett...

Love these guys. Martin Robertus and his lovely wife brought an awesome crowd and we partied all night. This was one of the last songs of the night and there was no drop in energy or enthusiasm. They went hard the whole night, and even offered to help me pack out my gear. Thanks guys. I wish you the best. Let's do it again in 5 years. (It's called a vow renewal) and it's a good reason to throw another rager like this.
