Favorite Mixes of 2011:
I collect a lot of mixes from various artists & djs. They keep me moving all day long! Here are my favorites from 2011:
SBTRKT Essential Mix
One of my favorite shows last year, SBTRKT came out of nowhere and became one of my favorite artists. I fell in love with this mix the second I heard it.
Afrolicious 3-Year Mixtape
I had this one on repeat for months. It’s spicy and funky!
Disco Science (Om:cast 025)
I love Om Records! This disco mix by J Boogie makes me feel good, plain and simple.
Boy 8-Bit - May 2011 Mix
Like Ramadanman, Boy 8-Bit knows all the right beats to get me moving. Toe tapping, bouncy Marcy can’t hold still when this mix is playing.
Fool’s Gold Radio - August 2011 Mix
A friend turned me on to A-Trak…now one of my absolute most favoritest djs! Can’t wait to see this guy play out somewhere.
