Blog Facelift

Hey folks,

Hopefully you guys will like the new layout I created using the blogger toolbars (I tried my best making it look simple and clean) and so far, I like the way it turned out. I may do some further tweaking as the next couple weeks roll by; hopefully it'll continue adding to the "perfect look" I am envisioning when I think "awesome DJ's blog to check out cause it looks really really cool."

Fish Food Vol. 2 is in the works, definitely getting a lot of good/constructive feedback from the first one (in which I will keeping in mind) and I can't wait to finish working on it! Decided to change up my mixtape strategy and cut down on the skits/shoutouts (because we all know we can't stand listening to more than 30 seconds of [sorry just saying] shoutouts to a million different bboys we dont care about at the moment because we just want to listen to some damn music)!

Funny how I added the skit on mixtapes in Fish Food Vol. 1 though. Phonte really broke it down when he mentioned that nobody cares about all the special/extra features people throw into mixtapes because people just want to hear good music... thats it!

A lot of things are suddenly picking up the pace. A lot more side projects than usual, mixtapes to be worked on, jams to be thrown, etc. etc... Its looking good so far for 2011. I can't wait to see whats in store for the next couple of months!

I'll be releasing Fish Food Vol. 2 along with additional tracks to check out via the Monthly Giftbox. Thank you for the continued support!

FB Giftbox December 2010 Edition

Peace everyone!

As the last month of 2010, I decided on making some changes to my monthly issues of the FB Giftbox so that: 1. You guys will start practicing more, 2. I can lessen the workload on choosing songs, and 3. I can get those short mixes out as much as possible. Included inside the giftbox is a file and a folder, please read the file labeled first and open the second one later.

I didnt follow any specific themes this month. As a treat to you guys I just chose out songs I think may inspire some of you guys to develop new moves during practice. Hopefully this'll do the trick.

December 2010 Giftbox

I hope you all had a good holiday season! May 2011 bring us many opportunities and joys for the next coming year.

Stay fresh and dig deep!

Back to School Basics Breaks: FREE DOWNLOAD

Hello!

I apologize for such a LONG time to update my blog... many different things are going on at the same time (including moving out, gigs, etc.) so I finally had some time to sit down and think "oh man, I hope my viewers don't hate me!!" lol.

I have included extra music to compensate for the last two months of updates... so hopefully this will be good enough for ya'll!

Back to School Basics

Right click and "save as.." or try clicking on it, maybe that will automatically start your download..

There will be a few new mixes on the way, one for the breaks, while another for the area. Be on the look out for that update..

FB GIFTBOX JUNE EDITION: HOUSE!

Fish Boogie Giftbox June Edition: House

I'd have to thank my friend Genghis Than for quite the hookup (alongside other folks I've been trading with in the past). Hope this will expand your taste for music!

House has always been the genre of music I thought would get boring/repetitive after awhile... boy was I so wrong. With more than 24 different sub-genres within house, it's hard to imagine how many songs each of those genres can be categorized in...

Keep diggin'~

FREE Monthly Beats! First Edition!!!

Hey everyone,

Alongside mixtapes, I decided to upload monthly beats for everyone to enjoy and stay up on for future jams. If there's one thing I'd like the Seattle scene to excel in, it's musicality. By giving you these songs, I am now challenging everyone to open their minds to all sorts of beats; some might be good, some you might think is wack... but hey, it happens at a jam whether you like it or not. Always be prepared!

With that said, this month's theme in particular is good ol' northwest classics. I've seen recent videos lately from different countries using songs that were played jam after jam when I first started dancing. From then I thought, "I hope people in the northwest forgot about these songs..." This is my dedication to all the first jams I went to from back in the day: the PLU series, MM day, the Shoreline Rec/YMCA jams, 360/BTS, and all the other smaller, local jams that were so low key, only the most dedicated came out to support. Thank you!

Yes, if you HAVE been from the same (or older) scene from what I've experienced, you will most likely have most of these songs. However be prepared, I have included my own pick of songs as well to make it more worthwhile to check out.

FOR EVERYONE: Besides your musicality, I am challenging you to dig deeper in the crates... I have included a special riddle in the text file that's inside the giftbox. For each month, the riddle will challenge you to know about the history of the music we all jam out to. You email/pm me your answer, and I will send you the special link for the prize (and yes, these aren't just regular songs.. expect some heaters). But please, don't ruin the fun by just sending the link to your friends, because this is some real homework that will reward you generously if you take the time to educate yourself...

Dig deep... Stay up... Peace.
