Mixtape: Phone Tap Part 2

dj treats phone tap part 2 mixtape N’am talkin’ bout?

Now that I’m three mixtapes deep made from using the Djay app, I’ll try not to enjoy making them on my phone too much. This time around, I stood in front of Joe the Art of Coffee near Parsons for about 45 minutes tapping away on my iPhone mixing this playlist. Stream on Mixcloud and view the tracklist below.

DJ Treats Presents: Cheers Pt. 1

dj-treats-cheers-mixtape-promo

My first mix using the Djay app opened me up to a new world of mixing. For over 10 years, most of my mixes have been true to the tradition of two Technics turntables and a mixer. It’s not like I have been hesitant to embrace technology—I use my laptop, and Serato and get by just fine with that. What’s a DJ to do though when in transit though? Tapping away at the cue points, triggering effects at my fingertips in a recording on my iPhone, why the hell not?! Even though I deviated from my comfort zone of turntable hardware, I wanted the mix to sound thematically like what I’d play when I’m slumped over at a party watching the crowd dance in a belligerent rage. It’s more than just aggressive drinking of alcohol to lower inhibitions. The liquid courage changes the mood; you’re greasing the wheels to a conversation; good and bad decisions get made; there’s a memory in every beat even if you might not remember it the next day. This mix illustrates how it all goes down.

Aside

Bible Study with Dice the God in Retrospect

DJ Treats NYC IMOK Bible Study

Upon entering IMOK, a venue on 247 Eldridge St., DICE THE GOD told me to trap it up all night. He was referring to the soundtrack to the streets: the musical testaments for outlaws or would-be criminals who glorify selling drugs, and of course there is the other group of individuals addicted to the euphoria by doing intoxicants. Strip club anthems that inspire white collar to blue collar hustlers to make it rain, those are always fair game.

The range of genres goes from southern rap, to ’90s hip-hop, to the electronic dance hybrid of the former is what I played during my first outing at the weekly party known as Bible Study. In preparation for the event, I put together a mixtape playing off the theme of religion. It’s a touchy subject, so I kept it simple highlighting moments where G-O-D appears in the title, or where the devil is an inspiration for how fiery of an MC they could be, like Big L’s “Devil’s Son.” Listen to that short compilation. The next one promises to be as spiritual to exercise the demons of trap life. Below is a glimpse of last week’s party. RSVP for this Thursday.

Mixtape: DJ Treats Presents: The Infamous Adventures of Mobb Deep & The Alchemist Vol. 1

I had an idea to compile some of my favorite Alchemist collaborations with guys like Fabolous and Raekwon, but the tape didn’t sound as cohesive as a collection of productions for Mobb Deep. At some point I’ll complete my original idea for Chemical Imbalance. For now, The Infamous Adventures of Mobb Deep & The Alchemist Vol. 1 is my best mixtape thus far. Sidebar: In case you watched The Chemistry Files doc produced by The Alchemist and Neil Diamonds, you’ll appreciate the soundbytes I used to give perspective to the legacy of the Mobb and ALC. Scroll down for the tracklist and audio.

1. Prodigy – Intro
2. Mobb Deep feat. 50 Cent – The Infamous
3. Prodigy – Return of the Mac
4. Prodigy – Gun Love
5. Mobb Deep feat. Nas – Dog Shit
6. Prodigy – Keep It Thoro
7. The Alchemist feat. Nas and Prodigy – Tick Tock
8. The Alchemist – Chemistry Files Interlude
9. The Alchemist feat. Prodigy, Illa Ghee and Nina Sky – Hold You Down
10. The Alchemist feat. Prodigy and Nina Sky – Keys to the City
11. Mobb Deep – Win or Lose
12. The Alchemist – The Realest Interlude
13. Mobb Deep feat. Kool G Rap – The Realest
14. Prodigy – Nickel and a Nail
15. O.V. Wright – Nickel and a Nail
16. Keak Da Sneak feat. Prodigy and The Alchemist – That Go
17. Mobb Deep – When U Hear The

Crash Course: Scott Pilgrim’s Universe

Here we are, one year later. So much has changed since a little graphic novel series became the next uber-cool franchise. The thread of young slacker Scott Pilgrim having to defeat his girlfriend’s seven evil exes to unlock her love is the story. Universal would inevitably put some major coins behind it to bring Brian Lee O’Malley’s creation to Sony Playstation and of course the box office. In following the evolution of the graphic novels, I had fun creating my own wish list of songs fellow fans would enjoy based on the artists referred to in the author’s published playlists and his references to them on promo T-shirts worn by the characters. Fast forward a year later, we are five days away from the epic conclusion with the sixth and final book, Scott Pilgrim’s Finest Hour due on July 20th. After the jump, I’ve laid out six ways to get re-reacquainted with Scott Pilgrim and friends.
