DaManDL - King Of The Slow Jams - Vol 1

In 2012, some friends of mine on Facebook and Twitter made me aware of an “Old School DJ contest” being held by syndicated radio host Michael Baisden.   The finalists were going to be flown to Dallas to compete live for a winner-take-all contest for a cash prize and to be the DJ for his birthday party.  I wound up missing the entry deadline but listened to some of the mix entries as he played them live on his show.  I’m not big on downing other DJs but going strictly based on what I heard, I kicked myself for not being more timely in my submissions. The rules, as simple as they sound, provided a bit of a creative challenge.  There were to be 3 separate 10-minute mixes of old-school: house, R&B, hip-hop, etc.  I really do have a “lotta damn records” so the challenge for me was to be able to select and weave a handful of REALLY GOOD songs within a 10 minute span (10 minutes goes by QUICKLY!) showcasing my DJ skills/personality with minimal-to-no scratching, absolutely no DJ drops and absolutely no talking on the microphone.   Basically, they wanted to hear that you can actually DJ without the benefit of technology.  I’ve been DJing for over 2 decades – before the technology so it made it a fun project for me and evened out the score if this was to be judged fairly. Now in 2013, I’m being made aware again that Baisden is having this contest – and I’m being told that I more or less “better” enter this year because they know I can win this.   Adding that battery to my back and coming off missing out last year, I try to knock it out the park.  I did my 3 mixes all in one night.  No more than 2 takes on any one of them.  I’m feeling VERY confident that I will get a callback.  Except…..Baisden’s show gets canceled the other week!!  *cue up The Price Is Right Loser music* Ah well, so much for that!  But as a measure of thanks, I wanted to share the SECOND mix I completed with those of you who have and continue to support me.  I don’t DJ for a living or for fame, I do it purely for the art and the love and the history.  Without y’all, I wouldn’t continue this….   http://DaManDL.com http://TheDJLabRadio.com Twitter: @DaManDL Instagram: @DaManDL

Michael Baisden Old School DJ Contest Entry  1

Michael Baisden Old School DJ Contest Entry  2

if you love real music of the 70s then you'll love this podcast.   Apologize for the abrupt ending, the radio station server got unexpectedly booted during my last 10 minutes.  (Live show Dec 24, 2011)

70's Soul Mix

We're always paying tribute to someone after they've already gone. I paid tribute to Kool Herc while he's still here (although in bad health). Not by playing just old-school hip-hop but to play all the elements Herc brought to us that birthed the hip-hop culture - break beats, R&B, disco, funk, etc. And of course, a STRONG(!!) James Brown session for the last hour. broadcast live on http://1073wkcr.com Tuesday February 1, 2011

Kool Herc Tribute  (2-1-2011)

recorded live on 107.3 WKCR radio on 10/2/2012. 80s classic after 80s classic!

That 80s Crate!

the dominant dance sound of the 70s....the pre-cursor to house music and EDM

Disco Nights (vol. 1)

we're taking it back to the mock necks, apple jacks, bell bottoms, Lucky Strikes, Kools, J&B liquor, Good Humor trucks, "adults-only" basement parties that we used to sneak in, dashikis, Reverend Ike and Flip Wilson Show era.  Something true lovers of RHYTHM and BLUES music (the term "R&B" doesn't do it enough justice) that we were raised on might appreciate.  60s and 70s: Joe Simon, Curtis Mayfield, Deniece Williams, Tyrone Davis, Otis Redding, The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Minnie Riperton, Bobby Womack, Al Green, and plenty more....

Plastic On The Sofa Music (aka 70s Soul Mix Part II)

mixed live on Only1FM Online Radio, June 16, 2011. In the spirit of the great Larry Levan, we pay tribute to this legendary NYC hotspot with the kind of tunes that used to tear the place down!

Paradise Garage Classics

one of my better R&B mixes...recorded live on 107.3 WKCR Radio on October 11, 2011.  Those smoothed out grown cuts to the party warm-up cuts!! featuring Mary J. Blige, Changing Faces, the very underrated Faith Evans, Brandy, Horace Brown, Groove Theory, R. Kelly, Aaliyah, and others. Perfect for the ride of for work...well it's slightly NSFW (not safe for work...language on a couple of songs)

Smoothed Out To Go Steppin'

this one is for my House heads....but in order to truly understand House music, you gotta get in touch with where it comes from!  From 54 to The Warehouse.  From Tom Moulton & Nicky Siano to Frankie Knuckles and Todd Terry.  From Salsoul to the Soul Clap.  

HOUSE HEADS: THE HOUSE MUSIC STARTS AT 37:17

King Of The Slow Jams - Vol 2

The logo says it all.  If you don't understand, let me give you the dialogue.  Early to mid-1980s, NYC.  When black radio was black radio, not "Urban Contemporary".  When we had real DJs and remixers and programmers like Tony Humphries, the Latin Rascals, Shep Pettibone holding down real clubs like the Roxy, The Shadow, Nell's, The Red Parrot,  etc.  We heard everything.  We respected what came before us while forging a new path for ourselves.

Listen to this and understand why every other genre can have their artists and pioneers from back in the day go on tour and make money and be revered, except today's generation.  We're haters, we're old heads, we're broke and mad because the industry screwed us before it became a business and opened the door for the talentless to benefit.

I just wanted to take it back in my DJ retirement to reflect on how it used to be.  You couldn't be a DJ because you liked music and went to Guitar Center but buy some gear and decided to call yourself a DJ.  I needed to take it back...it's therapeutic.

SHOW ME YOUR KISS CARD!!  *Google us if you don't know*

@ Hyatt Regency 2017 - 4 hour set recorded live

FOR PROMOTIONAL & EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY.  NO PROFITS ARE BEING MADE OFF THE DISTRIBUTION OF THIS MIX.

That Philadelphia Soul Sound.  Thom Bell.  Gamble and Huff.  Dexter Wansel.  Norman Harris.  MFSB.  

When I started recording, I really didn't think it was going to be 3+ hours long.  But I got into that smoothed-out pocket to start.  Then got to toe-tapping.  Archie Bell & the Drells.  Jean Carn.  The Jones Girls.  Some B-sides.  Some album cuts.  Some 45s.  And how can you forget the slow jams?  

And I still didn't play everything I had in my head!

Enjoy!

Philly Soul Classics

Minus a small couple of blips at the 21-22 minute mark....(blame analog to digital conversion)...this is one of my proudest moments.  It was necessary.  I hope I did the master right on this one.  Over 3 hours and I still had records to spare of his catalogue.

The title says it all.  You've gotta be tired of the same old songs.  Let's open up the crates.  This is Volume 1: 80s and 90s.
