Tue, 25 September 2007  I proudly present a mix from DJ Come of Age aka COA - I have nicknamed him "The Man with the Master Plan" for his positive, forward-thinking, innovative, tireless desire to promote the music that he so dearly loves and supports..Soul-stirring neo-soul at it's best. Plus, the fact the he is also a fellow "househead" makes him the perfect guest DJ for the House Sessions podcast...Thank you, COA. A few words from TMWTMP:)): "A potent mix of music that will immediately grab your attention and touch your soul" The plight of the independent musician has been well documented. Faced with a driving passion to present his craft, stymied by lack of funding and ample resources, many never reach the coveted pinnacle of acclaimed recognition. Dreams deferred, these artisans are left in self doubt and devoid of fulfillment. In a most unorthodox fashion, one man has singlehandedly given the "Unheralded" center stage. DJ Come of Age is a pioneer, a phenom whose vision became a concept all its own. In simple terms, find music which is beautiful and promote it as one. Without boundaries and strained classification he allies himself with stellar, soulful artists from the world over. As a collective of musicians, producers, DJs, poets, and models, the promotion of their works is shared by all. "Our love for the music is impetus enough. It's something we live and breathe. In the same way we collect and cherish, we long to share and be heard. The energy once used to "compete" with others is now used to constructively establish ourselves. It's much easier and beneficial to uplift one another than waste time being negative and vain. The key for us was to target outlets willing to give us an ear. The foundation was already established with each respective fan base so it was easy to grow from there." Listen to the DJ Come of Age podcast now at http://djcoa.libsyn.com . The show is also available on iTunes . "find something you are willing to die for, then, live for it" Let the music live! DJ Come of Age The Mixtape Comments[0] |
Mon, 17 September 2007  A soulfully mellow, romantic, house mix by DJ Kinglion - ....You'll definitely enjoy it as much as I did. (Think of dimming the lights and lighting those fragrant candles, bubble bath and a HUGE glass of wine), lol... I asked DJ Kinglion to give us some background info and this is what he had to say: "I have been a DJ most of my life. My father was my first idol and mentor. He was a DJ himself - well rounded in his musical selection of jazz, soul, gospel, reggae and funk- which helped me develop a musical taste for a wide range of music at an early age.... Voices of Aretha Franklin, Ben E. King, Diana Ross and Marvin Gaye (to mention a few) enriched my taste for soulful music." "I started doing parties at age 12, which exposed me to a large audience and to "more music" especially dance music (sounds of the 70's, Philly sounds, disco). Developing my skills at this time was essential because the mixer and 2 turntables were now becoming the common tools of djing." "After graduating from high school, my mind was set to become a DJ of world class standards. After doing numerous shows, to as many as 5,000 people, I was now ready to take it global." "My first serious encounter with house music was listening to Larry Levan at the Garage back in 1985. That was a new experience. It opened my ears and heart to new levels. I was blowing away this moment, and that inspired me to really put roots down. "House became my home." "After many years of playing and making friends in the music industry, I pursued radio on the advice of a dear friend - doing terrestial radio during the 90's, intro pop, jazz, trance, and progressing into the mix of things. I did this for 2 years at a NY radio staton. I got bored after doing this and I hit the road and started promotion and engineering in studios with other DJs and recording artists." "After doing dancehall for some time, I was longing to get back to house music because it was missing from most of what was out here - So I came up with the underground house movement with a few friends." "That lasted for a good 10 years. It is now a global group of DJs in which a few members at this time are the mainstayers in house music: Tony Humphries, K-Alexi, Dennis Ferrer, etc. I'm proud to say it is still a growing movement that I'm a part of - remaining humble and loyal to house music." "Now, at my full circle, and now, gaining new friends - I thank all of the supporters and DJ's who carry the torch of house music ...and u, DJ Renay, I'm proud to say, are one of them." "Bless u sista." Thank u DJ Kinglion..I'm honored.. You can check out DJ Kinglion at www.myspace.com/kinglion973

Thu, 6 September 2007  Yes, we had to do it again... This time around we decided to play from our hearts and not agree on one theme. TommyFixx did a soulfully moving mix and even ventured into some jazzy house.. You go Tommy!! I was pleasantly surprised when I heard it the first time. Definitely got a lesson on the Atlanta house groove. Can you FEEL it? YES!, I CAN :)) I recently fell in love with funky and disco house and that's what my mix contains... Some feelgood, let it all out tracks to awaken that inner househead that lies in all of us. And you know I had to throw in one gospel track for good measure. DJ (Souly) Soulswede adds his special "Commentary" to the mix and tells you the story of how this all came about. And he tells it in less than 3 minutes..! A warm hug and thanks goes to DJ Blaq Jaq who pulled all of our parts together into a seamless mix and added his special "Partiology" flava. So, there, you have it...4 people who met on Myspace.. I have met TommyFixx and Blaq Jaq since the last SupaMixx..coming together to work on one mixx - the SupaMixx 2. Only on Myspace...Ain't Myspace Grand! Here's the playlist!
