BAD LISTENER ONLINE 001 - SWINGVIBE (Jazzy House, Vaporwave, Future Funk & RNB Mix)

Welcome to BAD LISTENER ONLINE - a weekly mix series featuring underground DJs, live performances & analog visuals.

We are back this week with a fresh mix from the smooth water soldier, Billy Winters! Over the course of several solo instrumental releases and a seemingly never-ending barrage of collaborative albums with the Already Legends crew, Billy has been innovating a new cutting-edge style of Detroit rap production, merging the classic sounds and aesthetics of smooth jazz, funk, and classic RnB with the fast-paced drums and thumping 808s that form the bedrock of the modern Detroit / Flint sound. The recent Already Legends album, "Smooth Water Jazz", executive produced by Billy serves as an audio manifesto of his trailblazing sound. In this mix, Billy takes us on a journey through his eclectic influences.
