some mixes, by me

It's been way too long since I've uploaded a mix. I told myself I would. This one is full of hip-hop and rap and trap and some snippets of some oldies sprinkled throughout. Consider it a speaker theater. Be warned that the bass is significant and the bass is constant.

swampstomping [bass / rap / phonk / oldies]

Even though it feels like yesterday, it’s already been a year since I released my last mix on SoundCloud. So without further ado, here’s a headphone-friendly new mix of hip-hop, phonk, bass, trap, and more. Thirty eight tracks in fifty one minutes. Been waking up to this one every morning and treating it like a coffee alternative. I hope you find something you enjoy.

You've Been Invited to Ride

I strayed away from hip-hop as best as I could. While there are a few rap verses on this mix, 90% of this hour-long journey is soulful singing and smooth instrumentals. Drink some lemonade and be productive to this one.

Sing Me to the Moon

February snowfall. I made this mix last night, live in one take, from 2:00am-2:30am on Virtual DJ (amateur hour). No raps. Consider this a properly poured cocktail of lovestoned seasonal depression.

Icicles on My License Plate

Half an hour of heaters. A mixture of hip-hop, wordless hip-hop, and a few sprinkles of goodies in between. Thank you for listening, and be sure to check out the artists involved. They make the beauty, I just connect songs into a long MP3 in hopes to share their art.

Motion Fortress

At the beginning of May, I made two mixes. The first was Motion Fortress, full of high energy and a bunch of bass. The second is Restless Balloons and it comes with a proper contrast, full of relaxing, ambient, acoustic tracks to keep you company for 30 quick minutes.
