I wanted to set a certain mood across this mix and I wanted to Start it out with Two of my Favorites. That being J Dilla on the beat and Dwele on the vocals. It consists of many artists i love including Oddisee, Kev Brown, Phonte, Common, and others and a Vintage track towards the end produced by, the legendary, Rick James. Enjoy the mellow mood.

Born and raised in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Trained on the concrete streets of Los Angeles, CA. If you were at the club - you would find him right next to the speaker feeling every moment of sound.

Aurally inspired by radical beats, ethereal atmospheres, sweet melodies and big room bass lines - you can feel every ounce of sound drip in your ear at a micro level - similar to the sound of rain and the feeling of drops as it splashes on your skin.

His surreal approach is imaginative, creative and visual - galloping forward from a visual art background and Spanish and Native American influence he's drawn to drums and strings.

Lush soundscapes will fill your ear, but you only have to be willing to let go of all expectation and let the sounds guide you, leaving you in control of your imagination - similar to reading a book - only here he paints a picture and you pick your destination. 

Whether you're laying back looking at the stars or shaking off your weekday stress, Michael's got the cure.
