Do It Properly (Local Beats Bootleg Edit) - 2 Puerto Ricans, A Blackman And A Dominican

While assembling crates for gigs during the dual heatwaves of 2019 in Massachusetts, I dug some old tracks that sounded like they were made for each other. So I mashed them up for the Lovestruck 2019 family. Stay hydrated and dance safely!

Walter Gibbons' 12" edit of "Sun Sun Sun" by Jakki from 1977 has been a secret weapon in DJ crates for decades for its legendary, dubby break, but the transition into the break has always sounded a little janky to me. I moved the verses to the end to get to the good part first.

Sirens every 30 seconds for 4 minutes, airhorns signal a 1 minute break. So that's about four 5-minute repetitions. Get sweaty!

Classic Electro/EDM Workout

A collab with @djphiliptan, Jengamon and William VVu! We put together this trance track for Trackathon 2020, organized by the MIT Music Production Collaborative. I started by making a 90's style Balearic Trance track and Jengamon updated it for a more 2020 sound. William added percussion, sound effects, and bass.

Artwork by Daniel Levanon (https://xyphid.com). It was the inspirational prompt!

Trakthetique (Master Mix)

Hailing from Singapore, Philip Tan brings his Balearic blends to Boston, featuring disco sprinkled with house, garage, electro, trance, and dub. He started the MIT Dance Mix Coalition in 1998. At his parties, he aims to faithfully recreate a Balearic spirit — a holiday atmosphere that spans generations, builds community, and doesn't take itself too seriously.
