In this edition of On Decks, Douglas is sharing with us one of his greater loves within music – house. This up and coming DJ in the Iowa area has a passion for the music, a heart for the dedication and the youth for improvement. Giving shout outs to his crews, Soul:Tribe Recordings, Treble Alliance Productions and Midwestfutureofsoulmovement, Douglas briefly explains his take on the mix.
This mix is one I quickly put together recently. The transitions have some rough edges, but so far the consensus is that the selection easily makes up for it. I was really pushing for a teched-out late-night driving feel. One you toss in the box and drive until the sun comes up. Soulful vocals open the front up, before transforming into a bouncy euro-club kinda vibe. Afterwords things get technical and my hip-hop sensibilities took over. The Jurassic 5 remix itself is pure fire - Jason Hodges is killing it this year. Near the end of the mix, I decided to take the showcase back to a grooving vibe, and took things out with a number of tech-infused tunes. Finally I dropped some smooth vibed tunes to take the mix out. The whole set is a blend of numerous influences, primarily jazz and afro-cuban themed rhythms. Hope you all enjoy it.
