Stay House 6

Save your toilet paper and your N95 mask. You are not going need it for this eargasm. I dip back into one of my older tracks from Chris Malinchak, take you through some current Disclosure, get sticky with some DJ E-Clyps, and finish you off with some Rockers Revenge.

Stay House 7

Lots of essential love in this show. I start off in the Deep House end of the pool, with Your House remixed by Ricky L. Travel with me through how We Rock It by Sander Kleinenberg with Dev, get kinda lit with Gettoblaster and Missy. I cool things down the funky I Rock Wit U by Mike City with Dwele.

Throwback to Bixby Park and Alamitos Beach

About 3 years ago this month, I was in Bixby Park right at the the beach about the half way point between Alamitos Beach and Junipero Beach in Long Beach, CA.

And I mention this because one of my top tracks on Beatport was started while I was working in that sunshine.

This is the top three of my releases currently on Beatport!

Right About Now (Original Refreak Mix)

This track was done in about 4 hours late on a Friday night. I was home alone (which is most of my Fridays to be honest), and I was fooling around on my decks.

Long Playa (Original Mix)

This was the track mentioned at the top that was started on the very beach pictured in the header art. Much of the rest of it came together in what became one of my typical spots to hang out, Hot Java, which is just on the other side of the park.

Sketchings (Original Mix)

My latest as it was just released in late Dec 2019, I was in a mood for lots of organ keys. It is also the most favorite on Beatport at the moment .

How are we doing out there? Are we doing okay with physical distancing and staying at home?

I hope you are. And when you have to go out, remember to cover your face…

On the next BSB Podcast–BSB0065–I am excited to present a personal chef friend who has agreed to allow me to use one of her photos as the cover art.

Love Hate

So the for the last several weeks, I have been fighting a battle. And it’s not against coronavirus.

By the way. STAY AT HOME! COVID-19 is not a joke or hoax! There. I’m done my PSA for a time.

Anyway, my battle has been with Spotify who I both love and hate.

I have loved the way they initially were a disrupter to the stodgy old record industry, going right at all the old gate keepers preventing many talented folks from reaching new and larger audiences.

I have come to hate that they are now in league with those same record companies and have become gate keepers themselves.

They removed my podcast from their platform under the accusation that I was distributing my music. It’s not like they don’t sale ads against my (and everyone else’s) podcasts to those who are on the free side of Spotify.

So unfortunately, for the foreseeable future there will NOT be any BSB podcasts on that platform. Thankfully, if you are also on Google or Apple, they continue to appear there.

I also am going to be starting a Mixcloud Select account soon as well. Under Select, there will be, as the name suggests, exclusive content and early content not be had or had before it may appear elsewhere. Stay tuned for those details.

Thank you all, who tuned in on Spotify to my podcast and mix show. I hope to be providing you more mixtape eargam pleasure on these other platforms!

Sketchings EP — Traxsource Exclusive

I’m starting 2020 early. Actually, I started 2020 weeks ago.

Here is my first release of the new year a few days early.

I originally wrote the prose in this track back in the summer of 2018 shortly after landing in LA. Thanks to a buddy of mine, I had the inspirational space to do some creative work while also looking after his place in Long Beach.

The music was subsequently written later that fall after returning to the east coast.

It went through a few test iterations, but basically has remained true to the original feeling.

Back In

Light and airy, Back In inspires the boldness to open to love again. It invites as does the warmth of the southern California sunshine from when the track was born.

Sketchings

Sketchings is a manifesto of creativity. It brings the organ and a soul clap to the dance party like a rousing performance by the choir on a Sunday morning.

The cover art is derived from a photo by Jacob Mathers on Unsplash with further editing by myself for my JR Design Studio technology consulting label. Release on mGrooves Music.
