DJ Apt One - Down and Derby Anniversary Mix

This is a mix I made for my homies who are celebrating the 4th anniversary of one of the coolest parties in the world, Down and Derby. It's a roller disco party and I wanted to put together some jams that I've played there over the years (as well as some more obscure joints), but I also wanted to play with the depth to the roller dance "genre."

I remember going to roller skating parties as a kid and dancing to new jack swing, hip hop and R&B, but obviously the genre is most closely associated with funky disco from the 70s. However, 80s funk, house and even early techno were roller groovers in various cities and eras so I had to toss some of those in as well. And if you go to Detroit, Kenny "Moodymann" Dixon is still doing it up roller-style with soulful sounds, house and more. So really, it's not so much about the roller skates and more about just straight up groovin on the dancefloor to anything worth dancing to!

Many thanks to Down and Derby family and make sure to check out the anniversary party May 29th at Belvedere's in Pittsburgh, and be sure to peep D+D when it rolls through your town, be it Vegas, LA, NYC or just about anywhere else for that matter!

Too Short

London DJ Iamxl flips one of my favorite Todd Shaw jams from back in the day into an acid-ish house banger. Actually this is kind of a mash with C-Pen's "Puffin Stuff" (thanks Get Weird Turn Pro comment section), but it works.

Tracks like "In Da Trunk" -- where Short raps his ass off for four minutes straight, no hook -- make a lot more sense for house refixes or for hip-house in general than the verse/hook/verse/hook rap songs that made up hip-house in its salad days. Makes a lot more sense for the builds and breaks that house music thrives on.

It's Really Not A Shame!

This record came to mind the last time I chilled at the Barbary with most of the DBJ members. It's very tasteful and can fit into many types of sets. Check it out Money Brick Politics!

Philadelphyinz - Upstairs-Downstairs Mix

We did a mix for our pal Bushy, who runs the always excellent blog OurTalk, which is chock full of big room house and the occasional Joe Budden track. Long story short, Bushy's tech game is on the major fritz right now and he can't post it, so we're doing it here for now. However, I have to give dap to Bushy, because his blog is boss. Make sure you bookmark it.
