10 Hour Funk/Soul/Disco Mix (First Half)

When I was in High School I was really into Dirty South Hip Hop. This was in the late 90's before the Trap and Crunk styles blew up, and Chopped & Screwed was just starting to get popular. The south was a bit more soulful and dark back then. It appealed to me as a teenager because I was already into Soul and R&B but southern Rap had that extra edge to cater to my teenage angst, and it helped me deal with the fucked up neighborhood I grew up in. I'll never forget when I first heard Goodie Mob's album "Soul Food". That album changed my life and to this day I can still rap every line, front to back. The one line that I used to repeat over and over in my head was on the track Sesame Street: "13 and a half years old, standing at the bus stop alone in the cold, on my way to be, degraded for a fee, to help get my family off the street, called Sesame." I was 13 when that song came out and had to catch the bus to school everyday. I was the only white guy in my school, so I was always alone, or fucked with. That line was inspiration to work as hard as I could to get the fuck out of the ghetto. I listened to that tape til it snapped and I had to buy the CD. Eventually the CD got so scratched that I had to buy it again. After discovering Goodie Mob, it was only a matter of time til I got into Outkast, 8Ball & MJG, Devin, Mystikal, Mr Mike, Juvenile and the rest of the South. I was obsessed with southern rap and it was when I first really started to collect music on a massive scale. In a way, you can say that Southern Hip Hop got me started as a DJ.  Crunching nearly a decade into one mix, and staying within a certain BPM range, left me with a lot of hard decisions. There are so many artists that I had to leave out, but I managed to fit 32 of my favorite tunes from that era.

Expansion Project Vol. 9 (90's Dirty South Hip Hop)

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

Back in 2013 I was at a free Michael McDonald and Boz Scaggs concert in the park. I was singing along to most of the songs, and my girlfriend at the time was giving me this puzzled look. I asked her what the funny look was all about, and she said, “How do you know all this Yacht Rock?”. I started cracking up because I had never heard it called that before. We were both born in the 80’s, so we didn't really start listening to music until the 90's, and she was shocked that I knew all this soft rock that came out before I was born. She joked that I should make a mix of it just for fun, so I did, and it ended up being an extremely popular mix of mine. I know it's been a while, but I decided to make a part 2. Enjoy!

New Jack Swing Mix Vol 2

When EDM Trap music first started getting popular, I didn’t really like it that much, but after a while, I realized that there have been other genres of music that I didn't really like when I first heard them either.  I began hearing more and more Trap that I liked from the other DJs in my crew, so I started to open up to it more.  I eventually started digging deeper and discovered the more melodic, mellow, dark and soulful side of Trap which I was starting to feel a bit more.  Some people hate the chill shit, and like Trap that is more hood and rowdy, but I just wasn’t into it. I also tend to dislike most music that is in the mainstream, no matter what the genre.  In the beginning, I was only hearing popular Trap and it wasn’t really for me.  Not to mention all the Top 40 Pop songs that I already hated, being remixed to death.  I guess what I’m trying to say is that if you just assume that the shit you hear on the radio, in commercials, or with a million youtube view is the defining sound of the genre, then you are just being ignorant and judgmental, like I was.  Anyhow, here is my new mix with some of the Trap sounds that I like, as well as some other beats that aren’t quite Trap, but fit well in this mix.  As a closing statement, I have learned that it is best to refrain from saying you hate an entire genre of music unless you actually know more about it than what you merely hear on the surface.  You may not like a certain style within that genre, but if you dig a bit deeper and hunt for yourself, you may open your mind to something new and enjoyable.

Electro Funk/80's Hip Hop/Break Dance Beats

The term “Horrorcore” was coined in the early 90’s to describe a sub-genre of Rap music that had a more evil tone.  Most people don’t actually like the term “Horrorcore” because it was created by major record labels and the media in order to market it.  Although it is still the blanket term that most people use, nearly all “Horrorcore” music is underground, so many artists avoid categorizing themselves as “Horrorcore”.  Other variations are “Acid Rap”, Death Rap” or “Wicked Shit”.  Some of the themes in the music revolve around extremely gruesome murder, disease, excessive drug use, satanism, cannibalism, perverse sexual acts, necrophilia, suicide, vandalism and all the good stuff in life.  Much of it is actually very political and many songs touch on serious social issues.  Many people think that this music causes anti-social and violent behavior, but I disagree completely.  As someone who really enjoys this music, I actually find it more therapeutic than influential.  It is like an audio version of a horror film and exposes all the real shit that happens in our world that the news feeds us daily, yet for some reason the music industry tries to censor and sweep these issues under the rug.  Lyrically, it could be considered the Death Metal of the Rap world, and the fan base is equally as die hard and obsessive.

Expansion Project Vol. 16 (Horrorcore/Acid Rap/Death Rap)

Part 2 here: https://soundcloud.com/nebakaneza/new-jack-swing-mix-vol-2

New Jack Swing is the first music I really started listening to and collecting.  I don't really remember songs from the 80's because I was born in '82, but I remember all of my schoolmates liked New Kids on the Block, and I hated bullshit bubble gum pop like that.  It wasn't until around 1990 that I really started paying attention to the radio.  The stations I remember at the time were Hot 97.7, 106.1 KMEL, and Wild 107.7 (Now Wild 94.9).  I would spend all day listening to those stations and recording the songs on tape, or watching MTV and recording the videos on my VCR.  I'll never forget when I got a CD player for my 10th birthday.  I worked odd jobs cleaning up yards and so forth so I could save up money to buy my first CDs, which ended up being Michael Jackson's "Dangerous", Mariah Carey's self titled first album, Janet Jackson's self titled album, TLC's "Ooooooh on the TLC Tip", Boyz II Men's "Cooleyhighharmony", and Bell Biv DeVoe's "Poison".  I listened to those CDs non stop (especially MJ) and drove my parents insane.  If you listen to most of my mixes, you can detect a bit of soul in almost every one.  It's because my roots as a music lover comes from music like this.

Here is the playlist.  Enjoy!

90's R&B Slow Jam Mix

I opened for the Hi I'm Ghost and HVDES co-headline show at DNA Lounge in San Francisco under my Nebakaneza alias (The voice you hear in the beginning is the DJ before me taking a picture with the crowd). 

For the last few years, I've been trying my hardest to expose this city to more Midtempo Bass sets, as no one else in this area seems to be doing so. Our city still books all the big headliners who are known for Midtempo, or at least have produced a few tracks, like HVDES, Rezz, Whipped Cream, Blanke, 1788-L, One True God, Zabo, Kloud, Street Fever, Social Kid, Tokyo Rose, Lazerpunk, LICK, Zomboy, Eptic, and so many more, but for some strange reason, when it comes to the supporting DJs, promoters suddenly act like it's some weird music that they've never heard of, and are skeptical about booking Midtempo openers. When I finally convince promoters to just trust me with my 20 years of experience, I end up making the crowds go absolutely nuts.

This set was spun on two CDJs, with quantize/sync turned OFF.

Track List:
(0:00) ZABO, MashBit, Frank Bentley - Make Me A Monster
(3:16) FLYNNINHO - RAGGA
(5:30) Hotcaller, Nexy - Damn

Dubstep.fm Exclusive Mix July 2012 (Re-upload)

This was probably the hardest mix I've ever made, with all the BPM changes, key changes, live drums and various sound levels, but I had to give it a shot.  It's all instrumental Funk and Jazz Funk, mostly from the 70's.  I've been wanting to make a mix like this for years since funk is probably my favorite genre of music, but I didn't quite have the skill level a few years ago to pull it off.  Anyhow, many of these tracks were most likely sampled by some of your favorite Hip Hop artists, so you may recognize a few of these gems.

Rare Old School Instrumental Funk Mix

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.
