DJ Freedom & Martina Present
Skate Crates 66:
Slow Walk & Groove Talk

Some 66 songs and tracks make up this amazing, sensual, groovy, funky, soulful and emotive mix of the signature SKATE CRATES sound. Every song has been slightly tweaked and/or adjusted LIVE. This is NOT an edit, or a refix, a reconstruction or a remix. This is how the mix was originally done at STUDIO 92. That's our base.

All will be live and all will be for skaters. Real catalog tributes that never sound dated. Legacy and flowers to the best to ever do it. A master class in music tributes. Only here. Locations will only be shared directly so get on my list. Thanks skaters and music lovers. Over 400k listens on SoundCloud since April 2020. Over 400 house mixes and 100 skate mixes by next year. No 2 sets alike. See you in the mix! Next up: Chaka!

01/15/2024

Each year, I go through hundreds of songs to come up with an R&B set for roller skaters that is true to good R&B. I mix the new with some classics and include other genres that compliment like afrobeat, amapiano, and, of course, hip-hop and house.

This year I will do 2 "R&B VIBES 2024," but there are always going to be sets that "feel like this" no matter what the theme, because this is a sound that I have gotten comfortable playing-and is the most well received.

It will be up by the time most of you read this but as of this writing I am tweaking it with some new things. Artists, DJs, labels and managers-thanks for sending me your work. My mixes are what they are because of you. will be my co-pilot of course and powers this journey to its 3 or 4 hour conclusion!

Hear it (and all my mixes) here:
SoundCloud.com/DJFreedomLives or Mixcloud.com/djfreedomlives (bc some of you are using that platform also!)
Hear me do these mixes live every last Saturday of the month (Jan to May 2024) LIVE at the Flatbush Loft (ticket link is always in my bio on Instagram or on the Skate Crates bio). by

The next gig is SKATE CRATES at the Flatbush Loft. Thanks to all the skaters who have supported for the last 2.5 years!!

We return to one of our favorite event spaces, the FLATBUSH LOFT (Balmir Dance Society) for our first roller skating event of 2024.

The original date was THURSDAY, JANUARY 11 (tomorrow),
but we postponed to SATURDAY, JANUARY 27.

This night we introduce a two-part night:
6:30-8pm Celebrate Mary J Blige
8-11:30pm Adult Night Skate

ABOUT THE MARY TRIBUTE!

For the THIRD time in about 8 years, I will spin the best of Mary J Blige, but this time in an exclusive LIVE skate mix.

"All That I Can Say" (written by Lauryn Hill), "Be Happy," "Just Fine," "I Can Love You," "In Da Club" (yep, Mary remixed 50 Cent's song), "Only Love" (her take on the Disco classic "Doctor Love"), MJB Da MVP (one of my faves), "Love Is All We Need," "Not Today (by Dr Dre with Eve)" and many more will all be featured!

Thia tribute will take place from 6:30 to 8pm, and be done by DJ FREEDOM.
From 8 to 11:30pm:
ADULT SKATE NIGHT aka
WINTER LOFT SKATE

From 8 to 11:30pm, we then shift gears and roll into ADULT SKATE mode! Our 5TH loft session continues, and on this night, we return with special guest DJ Nyjae Jordan, who will take turns. To get a taste of what you will hear, go to our SoundCloud.com/DJFreedomLives and look for "Skate Crates: LOFT SKATE SESSIONS."

BRING YOUR OWN SKATES.

As always, we encourage you to bring your own skates. Our space features a maple wood floor, which is GREAT for skaters who have indoor wheels. If you need skates, go to our friends at Five Stride in Brooklyn and tell Jasmine sent you!

AND IT'S AFFORDABLE!
Still just $10 for an advanced ticket, or $15 at the door (link in my bio or in the SKATE CRATES bio).

BIRTHDAYS WELCOME!
Mine is the 17th of this month (next week!) But I want YOU to come out and celebrate with us!

Coming NEXT Thursday: the soundtrack to my next DJ set and SKATE CRATES () event, "Celebrate Mary J Blige."

I did a HOUSE MASSIVE () edition a few years ago BTP (before the pandemic) and a refined edition for Skate Crates last year.

This one will be a complete makeover with some of Mary's new songs, new takes on some of your favorites and some exclusive Skate Crates edits of course.

Get tickets for this one of a kind event NOW on AllEvents.in. Link is in the Skate Crates bio and in my bio OR cash app $DJFreedomLives with $10 and a note, "MJB ticket." Martina will make sure you are good as always.

MY newest mix is now available on Soundcloud.com/DJFreedomLives!

CELEBRATE JAMIROQUAI is a 2 hour journey into some of my favorite songs by one of the most amazing recording artists. He came into prominence in the 90s with "When You Gonna Learn," which I learned about through Giant Step (who promoted so many amazing artists like Donnie, The Jazzyfatnastees, Goapele, Jill Scott and the Sweetback project, which was Sade's band & many more).
He has toured extensively and become popular here in the US thanks to a mild amount of exposure on MTV; his psychedelic videos promoted a flower child vibe, an awareness to the planet (going green before it was cool to say so) and putting on phenomenal shows.

I am excited for you to hear this experience I put together. Let me know what you think....my playlist is also there as well.

Also watch for "Celebrate Donna Summer" very soon!

NATIONAL DJ DAY 2024. I had this idea years ago when some of my favorite DJs were also DJs I was cool with! So it is an amazing honor to get with some of my favorite DJs.

This event IS HAPPENING. There were some bumps and bruises last year with HOUSE MASSIVE, but I kept the mixes coming and planned events for the next two years with HOUSE MASSIVE in some of the most amazing spaces and venues. Thanks to BUSHWICK TRIANGLE for understanding my vision and giving our DJs and dancers a place to have a great time. This is only the beginning!

All the info is on the flyer. If you have any questions or concerns DM me, I will respond. Share, repost, and donate to each DJ. Support their live streams. These are TODAY'S SUPERSTAR DJs.

The SOUND SYSTEM is going to compliment every song and track. We are playing no games, just playing great music!
There MAY be DJs on each floor; I will let you know in my next live TONIGHT at 7PM, here on this page. If you miss it I will post the next one in my stories. Stay in touch and stay in tune.

House Massive continues to celebrate 15 years of house music our way! These 10 mixes are among our favorites of 2023, with our newest edition RIDE AND VIBES 2024 at the beginning of our "house slides."

Our newest mix is 3.5 hours and features lesser known tracks and parts of songs. All of them have been reworked, re-edited, remixed, re-drummed and rearranged to be a whole new sound!

Playlist and mix are here:

There are many faces of this iconic R&B singer but you have never heard her like this!! THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 2024 I will pay homage to one of my favorite R&B singers. She is nearly always in my DJ sets, and I don't know a DJ who doesn't keep a few Mary songs ready for their crowds.

Now imagine a 2 hour SKATE CRATES tribute! I will pay homage to the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul." My set will feature all the favorite sing-along songs, remixed and/or edited with a new flair and style that can only be SKATE CRATES.

For those who didn't know, this will be my 3rd time doing a tribute to Mary but the first time as an event.

THANK YOU SKATERS!! This photo is from Dec 2, but I didn't get to feature it on the set I did that night. We didn't take one this past Saturday so I am using the photo from the previous session.
Skaters who came to BOTH sessions: thank you for your continued support!

SKATE CRATES 54: Loft Skate Sessions 3 went up Sunday and you can hear it here:
Soundcloud.com/djfreedomlives
(It is in my top 5. If you see this post AFTER December 2023 it may NOT be in my top 5, but it will be on the SoundCloud page so search for it by name).

Our next and last session is Saturday, December 30 from 6-10pm. Tickets are on sale (link on the page) and tickets are still only $10. On the set will be me and Nyjae spinning so don't miss this one.

AFTER (from 10pm to 2am) come and hear some house music by yours truly and DJ Dah Dah. Skaters can stay and dance; dancers who skate are welcome to come early and skate or dance! See you there!
