A little nostalgia for ya. For all y'all who didn't wanna grow up but did anyway ;)

My Ableton skills are still super rough but I learn by doing, so...yeah. 

Made with Live 10 Lite.

Mo Gangsters Never Grow Up

Funky house with a disco flavor and an electro kick.  


Disco Rhapsody

Here's a mix I did back in 2011 or so. The tracks are still some of my favorites, but the mix is meh, not so great. Maybe someday I'll do it over again with the same tracks. Enjoy!

...In Chinese, in a deep baritone with the slow, warbling vibrato that comes only from age, he started singing Amazing Grace. Of course, being from the buckle of the bible belt, and being raised by staunch conservative Christians, this tune was highly familiar to me.

The melody brought back a wave of emotions and nostalgia.

I thought of my dear mother, whom I haven’t seen for many months. How many times had she spontaneously broken into a verse or two of Amazing Grace?

I thought of my grandmother and grandfather and their graceful ascent into old age, and how their health had been troubling them lately, a fact which did nothing to diminish their strong Christian faith and inner joy.

I thought of all the mistakes I had made over the years, all the shame and sadness I had brought to the people who have loved me more than I even loved myself.

I thought about how, regardless of my feelings on god and religion, whatever Amazing Grace had come to and through my parents and grandparents that allowed them to catch me and hold me up with unconditional love and forgiveness - that same grace found me here, in this moment, a million miles from home, in the middle of nowhere, with a man who couldn’t clearly communicate to me what he had for breakfast.

But he could sing.

And I could sing.

We could sing the same song, and share meaning, even if we couldn’t share the same words.

It was one of the most beautiful moments I have ever experienced in my life.

And I was able to record it.

I hope it means as much to you as it means to me.
