It’s time for Midnight Riot to dock a fleet of remarkable tunes inspired by the Yacht Rock phenomenon of the late 70s and early 80s. Reimagining this renaissance of this highly produced Jazz and R&B inspired era are some of Riots finest contributors including Mark Brickman, Brian Lucas, Platinum City, Andrew Emil, Saucy Lady & U Key, Sweetooth, Chas Bronz, Bad Business Club & many more. A true landmark in every sense for Midnight Riot as we launch our armada of yacht infused disco on the high seas.

Yacht Rock & Disco (Yam Who? teaser mix)

I was at a Michael McDonald/Boz Scaggs concert with my lady and she was laughing at me for knowing all the songs.  Well, the Michael McDonald ones at least.  She commented, "How do you know all this Yacht Rock?" and I reminded her that my mom is white.  We started joking around that I should make a mix of it, and eventually it became a dare and challenge.  I love Classic Rock, so I decided to go ahead and make this mix.  There are a lot of really terrible Yacht Rock songs out there, but I picked only my favorites for this mix.  These ones are a bit more funky and uptempo.  You may claim that not all these songs are Yacht Rock, but they are definitely Soft Rock tunes (aka Blue Eyed Soul) from the late 70's and early 80's.  For a comedic history/interpretation of the Yacht Rock era, watch the following mini webisodes.  It's about an hour total.  You won't be disappointed.  http://www.channel101.com/episode/312

Bio:
Nebakaneza, aka Danny Delorean is your favorite DJ's favorite DJ, and a true encyclopedia of many genres of music. 

When he was old enough to get a job, he started working at various record stores, but all his earnings went right back into buying music. He majored in radio broadcasting, soon becoming the music director for his college radio station, and won an award for broadcaster of the year. He then created his first DJ alias: DJ Imani, and started spinning Trip Hop and House 4 nights a week at various bars and clubs. Around this time he started working his day job at a big name radio station doing audio editing for Ryan Seacrest and voice over work for ads. He eventually landed his own late night electronica show, acting as both music director and host. He also held a small internship at Om Records, as well as the Surefire talent agency, and eventually started his own wedding DJ business to get some of that sweet sweet normie money.

After getting sick of hearing Top 40 all the time, and falling in love with Dubstep, he created the Nebakaneza alias and started a weekly event in San Francisco with his business partner Johnny 5, called Ritual, which lasted for 6+ years and at one point was the largest reoccurring Dubstep event on the West Coast. They expanded into Los Angeles and other clubs in San Francisco. Later, he became a music director for another commercial radio station, Live 105, for their late night Dubstep program, Wobble Wednesday. He was on the cover of the SF Bay Guardian newspaper and won their annual Goldie award. This alias expanded from just Dubstep and now includes Midtempo Bass, and Electro/Breaks/Detroit Techno, among other face smashing beats.

He created a third alias: Danny Delorean, to spin Synthwave, Nu Disco, and other fun bouncy music, and soon after became the co-host of Turbo Drive, which is the longest running, and largest monthly Synthwave event in the world. He would later become a manager at DNA Lounge nightclub, acting as the Talent Buyer, and marketing manager, then the General Manager and Bar Manager at Temple Nightclub in SF.
