WNUA...Ninety Five Point Fiiiiii-ivveeee!

If you're of a certain age, you recognize this jingle instantly!!

A former Chicago "Smooth Jazz" radio station and an institution in Chicago for many. This mix is dedicated to my Mom. Happy Belated Birthday! We used to listen to WNUA in her car all the time. I used to scoff at the Kenny G's of the world back then, but little did I know it would all come full circle. I'm playing these type of cuts in my sets and on the radio. 🎷

Tanisha and I were listening to a sick WNUA playlist on the way to my Mom's bday (9/25), and this mix idea came to me. I approached this as if I was asked to play a dj set on WNUA, so I played more of the soulful, dj-friendly cuts I recall them playing than the hot tub jazz. 🛀

I may make another version with more deep hot tub anthems if you guys are enjoying this Vocalo edition.

WNUA 95.5 (Tribute Mix)

Live recording of my closing set from Podlasie Club for our Vibes Social Club event. A bit rough around the edges, but you can feel the energy of the party. I really enjoyed all of the sets and the venue overall...especially the sound!!!

The last one. Bittersweet. It's been a good 12 year run...if you haven't heard, Vocalo Radio is done at the end of May... I was inducted into the crew after winning a battle in 2012. Thank you JDLP and much love to the entire Vocalo DJ Collective. BangBang.

Final Mix 4 Vocalo

I found this beautiful ps22 chorus version of Björk's "Joga" during the early part of the pandemic and shared it on social media. I decided to make this in 2020 as my intro to a Sade vs Björk mix that I just rediscovered. Let me know if you'd like to hear the whole thing...Mikey Bainjos

the longtime homie de la graciously invited me to his basement to dj his "blast from the past" home exhibit displaying his late grandmother's lovely collection of photos, memorabilia, and music...I was honored to be able to pull records from her stash and mix them on the spot...! here is one hour of the proceedings...

MAGIC FROM YOUR LOVE

Live bedroom mix.  Low-budget stylee.  I did, however, add a few overdubbed drops/cuts to "get the nameability out there."

I think the music here can be a soundtrack to breaking down the imaginary obstacles that can get in our way at times.

The tracks included are all original productions done by my talented sohab Dario.  He's also the drummer in the up-and-coming band from Chicago, Blah Blah Blah.  The first song in my mix samples their song Deja Vu.  We're both coming into our own at the same time, so the timing is right.

Enjoy!

*I also have this mix in mp3 format if the wav file is too big.*

A Roy Ayers tribute I recorded for his birthday in 2019. Enjoy!

Thank You, Roy Ayers

Remember when the Humboldt Park Gator was our biggest worry? And on top of all the mems, I ended up being a "doppelbängler" of the dude who caught the gator?! I swear when I saw the photos from the morning of Chance The Snapper's capture, I thought someone had photoshopped me into the press conference. Simpler times. 😂

This is a mix I made of some of my favorite Florida records that might transport you back to that carefree time this past summer. Thank you to Alex G for the initial idea! Enjoy.

NO JUSTICE/NO PEACE! FTRAP!!

The credit here goes to @DJBrunoFurlan for this banger of a track entitled "Line Five," and the protestors in Detroit who came up with this powerful chant as documented in Jeremy's instagram clip: https://www.instagram.com/p/CBE4lRVA2X6/

I couldn't get this bop out of my head, so I layered the chants from that video over the original song and added some cuts. Bang this at your own protest!

Line Five (No Justice No Peace Edit)

An homage to the legendary Chicago after hours club Medusa's.
🔌 🔌 🔌
I recently started working with Nigel (dj trew) at Miyagi Record Shop and we acquired a great dj collection earlier this summer. It contained many of the key musical components from this very formative era (ca. 83-92), so I came up with the idea to make a tribute mix solely with hand-picked selections from those stacks. I just approached it as if I was asked to play a set at the original Medusa's on a Saturday night. This is by no means a comprehensive tribute. Medusa's was before my time. Nevertheless, it’s been a fun way to honor Dave and the club's remarkable legacy.
