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 .

Long Playa

Recently, on my side hustle I had 3 passengers in the back seat and this track came on. I often play my LiftConfidential playlist on Spotify while driving.

It was two girls and a guy. The guy and one of the girls started chuckling and bopping to the track.

I asked them if they liked the song. The two that were full of giggles answered yes. The other girl said an emphatic ‘no’.

However, she then proceeds to comment on how it sounds like Prince.

2 out of 3

Personally, even though she said she didn’t like the track, I am going to take it as a compliment that she compared it to Prince.

But, I have to ask: even though the one girl said she didn’t like the song, do you think I should count it as a yes since she compared it to Prince?

(I’m asking for a friend…. lol.)

Playa De Long EP

Now available through most digital stores and streaming services, this two song EP is ready for you to rock.

Kty swft tylr prry (trust me) is a light yet driving piece detailing the response of drama between two supposed friends.

Long Playa is a funky tune and tale about being out on the town looking for amorous company.

Stereotype

So this keeps happening. The phrases are all too common.

Most illegal immigrants bring with them crime–(false). If you are black you automatically know how to dance–(false). A House Music party must mean ‘raves’ and recreational drugs–(false). Because I am a DJ and music producer, I must party all the time–(false). Yet, these and many others like them keep being repeated.

Please stop yourself when you hear yourself begin to utter them. Yes, they are somebody’s truth. Yet, this does not make them everybody’s truth.


Stereotype is available at these and other fine digital outlets.
