Rebel Noise is a mix of rock songs and particular frequency of the rock sound I wanted to capture because of the warmness of the sounds that have always seduced me into listening and appreciating this genre. I focused on certain eras from this sound to capture the essence of what I felt. I hope you enjoy.

Rebel Noise

"This is for the indecisive girlies/homies/lovers/divas/demons/etc." wasn't a good a title. I got the blessing from @phreakybionick (insta) to dub this a Cancer season mix.

No Vacancy II by Blacklion

The follow up to a disco and pop mash up mix, Cool Hand Ken by Ken Fitzpatrick is a collection of different sounds and the motives behind them. Cool Hand Ken 2 is a deeper dive into those sounds through today’s sonic terminology. It’s more articulation than interpretation. And stoic feelings of being cool than overt intelligence into the meanings of the curated sounds. More about reflective value and unknown whys. This is one of the most essential Ken mixes that doesn’t theme into familiar territories like Lingerie Skylines, and Romance. Rather themes of hope and optimism and love. It’s intriguing to say the least. We hope you enjoy.
