i’m working on a new mixtape series… it’s been over a year since my last upload! here’s a teaser – enjoy!

mix tape sampler #1

this is the fourth clip of media chronicling my kid’s obsession with music. previous episodes featured video of his learning to use turntables and figuring out how to scratch and use the mixer.

this bathtime audio clip was my attempt to catch him in his daily, non-equipment-reliant musical expression. enjoy!

 It’s been a long time since i’ve posted a mix in NotRadio. I’ve been in the lab working on the new season … and oh yeah. we had a kid.regular updates will return in february. until then i’ll probably be dropping teasers like this one. stevie wonder meets jay-z with a splash of Gregorian chant.missed you guys. thanks for the comments. happy holidays and see you next year!

first post of 2008 – a short and sweet remix … part of my ongoing crusade to make people nod their heads to bobby mcferrin. mwa ha ha . . .

At this time of year I always think about those who came before us – their lives, their sacrifices, and their triumphs. This is dedicated to them in thanks and praise. So when you dance please keep in mind those who could not and open your heart for those still to come. 50 minutes.
I apologize for the names I miss on this one as some of the records I used this time were white labels – but here, as best as i can, are the players in the ritual in no particular order: Osunlade, Michael Jackson, Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy, Aloe Blacc, Malcolm X, Cymande, Femi Kuti, Joan Baez, Terrence Trent Darby, Pharaoh Sanders.

Bollywood smoothed out on the R&B tip with a pop feel… appeal… to it.

Indian superstars Aishwarya Rai and Ajay Devgan remixed to “She’s Dope” by BellBivDeVoe. First smashed together by Pierre Bennu in December 06. Click the photo or click here to get to the video.

this is a remix that didn’t make it to the last two ‘love’ mixtapes… it’s a single-song taste to hold you till the next full mix comes. nat king cole meets prince, meets the man we all know and love… (i think his name is) kwame.

enjoy!
