1st & 15th Mixcast Vol 42 – Emynd – Winter Shots by Crossfadedbacon on Mixcloud

Once again it’s on! Although it hasn’t gotten very cold in Philly yet, it still feels like winter around here… vibe-wise if not weather-wise. And, in these barren winter months, I tend to comfort myself with the soothing sound of melodies. I’ve been meaning to do a mix of some of my favorite melodic, affecting House songs for quite a while now so I took this 1st & 15th opportunity to put a few down for your (and my!) listening pleasure. Big soaring melodies with lots of in-key mixing going on in this mix. Pretty simple stuff, but I really enjoy all these songs and hope y’all enjoy them as well.

Your boy Emynd provides a banging, grooving new Moombahton remix on newly established Overcooked Records for Jack the Hustler’s graceful original House jam “Run Up.” Belgian homie Twist It! provides a really dope remix as well. Support the entire EP here on Beatport or Amazon and iTunes. Thanks for checking it out!

I was listening to the new Weeknd album today and thought this jam would make for a great grooving House jam. It may be a little bit too soft-batch for frequent club use, but I think it’s pretty damn ill. I kept it mad simple and just added some supporting synth stabs and basic drums and builds. Hope y’all like it.

First piece of work me and the Brooklyn homie Mr Mfn Exquire put together. Hopefully much more to come. If you haven’t peeped his Lost In Translation Mixtape you’re seriously missing out. Follow him on Tumblr and Twitter to stay abreast of his movements–many of which are quite ridiculous. Dude is killing it right now. Nice to see NY rap making some waves again. Anyway, I do hope y’all enjoy this.

1st & 15th Mixcast Vol 40 – Emynd – Night Vision Mix by Crossfadedbacon on Mixcloud

For quite some time I’ve been meaning to put together a primarily Hip-Hop Club mix that represents the kind of stuff I wind up playing in the club on any given Friday or Saturday night. In many respects, playing Hip-Hop in the club can turn into club karoake, where people just want to sing along to songs they know the words to. I’m not mad at this at all because, on the rare occassion that I go out and get it in, this is basically my favorite thing to do too. But, from a DJs perspective, playing the same 25-40 records in primetime gets kind’ve old, so I tend to try and spice it up with some unexpected blends or random songs that people don’t necessarily know all the words to, but the shit still goes off. so when my homies in Burlington, Vermont asked me to do a mix for their upcoming party NIGHT VISION that I’m playing this Friday, that’s kind’ve what I wanted to make the mix represent: some predictable stuff, followed by some unpredictable blends, mashes, and remixes. All in all, just something that’s fun to listen to. So yeah, this is the type of stuff I expect to be playing this Friday in Burlington, Vermont at the NIGHT VISION party at Red Square. Come check us out! In the mean time, check this mix. I hope y’all like it.

Bo Bliz – 19XX Mix – Crossfaded X The Decades by Crossfadedbacon on Mixcloud

Been wanting to knock out a 90′s hip-hop mix forever. Hard to start because its so intimidating to do a tracklist. My peoples that do the Decades Hat Co. asked me to contribute a mix to commemorate their 19XX hat release, and thats all the motivation I needed. Stoked on this mix. A lot of obvious tracks on here, but a lot of this music is now 20 years old, kind of cool at this point to throw some of the bigger joints on a mix.

Shout out to my Philly peoples The Decades (Brooks and Puggs) for always progressing their hustle and keeping things moving in a positive manner. From FreshMeltWater to this hat thing now I’m happy to know people achieving their goals and putting on for Philly.

Our friend and sometimes mentor Roctakon put together this really fun mix of classic House records for Opening Ceremony, who asked him to put something together to celebrate Party Girl Parker Posey’s bday. Here’s Roc’s description of the mix:

When I was a kid, Party Girl was one of my favorite movies. If you were 16 in 1995, an aspiring DJ, and not-so-closet total dork, Mary would have been everything to you too. I picked songs I know she would have danced to, songs that I really did dance to, and songs that for me define that era. This mix is a tribute to her and to my late teens, where I spent a lot more time as patron than DJ, a lot more time dancing to house music, and a lot more time romanticizing Parker Posey.
