90’s R&B is where it’s at yo. So many good tunes. I remember being soooo obsessed with Jodeci. Really though, who wasn’t back then? I woke up this a.m. wanting to listen to Jodeci, but it’s too slow to make me run on the treadmill, so Alix Perez and Specific’s “Love Bug” was just as satisfying. 😆
Tag: Jodeci
Too Much Alix Is Never Enough
I remember when I first became obsessed with Alix Perez. It was this collab that he did with Specific called Lovebug back in like 2004 or 2005 I think. I was starting to ween away from my angry noisy dnb phase and full on becoming obsessed with liquidy, melodic goodness, also anyone who is gonna sample Jodeci is #1 in my book. 😉
I still appreciate all the other dnb genres but I think that liquid funk is the soundtrack to my soul… dramatic much? LOL. Really though, it never ceases to brighten up my day. Hearts all around.
Really loving this bassline to Playing Games.
Caleb & Kiki
I’ve been recording mixes at my friend Caleb’s studio for the past 3 years. He has a really nice studio. I always entitle them Caleb’s Party Mix No. whatever. I have about 25 of them. They are listening mixes, not ones for people to jam out to. The best advice anyone ever gave me when I was first learning to mix was to constantly record yourself just to know how you sound so it’s something I do on a regular basis. It has helped me immensely. Anyways as I was cleaning out my car the other day I found all of them and have been listening to them non stop. Right now I’m immersed in dnb circa 2006. Woot.
Tunes:
Radicall – The Dawn Remix (track is in the player)
Stunna played this one yesterday on his show. Really pretty.
Today’s Oldie:
Smokey Joe – Freakin With Da Cut Remix – No Smoking 1996
I mixed this one this weekend. I already told you about my obsession with Jodeci so I definitely loved this track since it samples a little bit of Come Up To My Room featuring Tha Dogg Pound. It’s definitely a nasty song but whatever I still love it. Dope.

Guess Who?
Yes I’m here. I was so swamped at work yesterday I couldn’t even write in my blog and you know how that messes with my OCD mind. Argggh. My boss has a lot of cases up this month so I’m surprisingly busy. It doesn’t bother me cuz I don’t mind the work but it definitely is a switch up cuz I usually have a pretty leisurely day balancing my work and playing online. 😉
Tunes:
B-complex – Raindrops (track is in player)
I just love B-complex tunes.
The Square & Eros – You’re Something Special (track is in both players)
Heard this on Overfiend’s show. I’m quite a fan of The Square. Definitely digging the vibe.
Today’s Oldie:

Definitely not that old but I was thinking about Jodeci this morning for some unknown reason and it made me think of this tune since the sample is in it. God I used to love Jodeci! R&B baby making music at its best! LOL. Anyways, I like Alix Perez and Specific together.
