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.

BAD LISTENER ONLINE 002 -  BILLY WINTERS (Smooth Jazz, House, Hip-Hop, Classic RnB Mix)

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

We’re back this week with a flashback to the first ever recorded BAD LISTENER ONLINE session. If you’re not redlining, you’re not headlining - and no one understands that better than BAD LISTENER’s west coast connection, 720p. For over a decade, 720p has been sharpening his skills behind the decks spinning the hardest hitting, loudest and most avant-garde bass music from the darkest corners of the web. Over the last few years, he has shifted his energy towards crafting original productions that reflect his maximalist tastes. With this all-original poolside set, 720p enforces a brutal rhythmic regime over the dancefloor with booming 808s, metallic melodies and intricate drum production.

We’re back this week with a floor-shaking mix from Ann Arbor footwork / club music legend @djflp!

His 52 volume footwork mix series, Move Ya Fucking Feet is an expansive display of mixing prowess and elite curation. As a veteran of the soundcloud / URL music scene, FLP has netted too many high-profile collaborations to list here. His newest album, Disc Replay is out now on all DSPs.

In this recorded set, OMO delivers an energetic mix of electronic flavors, showcasing his eclectic ear for samples and his captivating performance skills.
