You guys should have seen my face when I cleaned out my old storage unit in Atlanta and found these old mixes. Unfortunately I'm not the most organized and I am really not a saver but for some strange reason I saved a few of these sets that I put on CD between 2002 and 2005. There were a few CD-J decks floating around back then but I didn't know anyone that had one yet, all the DJ's I knew were still using vinyl but you could tell a change was coming fast. Record stores started closing left and right and it was really sad but a few of us kept on playing that Wax! This set is from 2002, I was 35 with a head full of hair (Ha-Ha) "Locs" to be exact. My playing style was very fast meaning I didn't really let the songs breathe, I played 21 tunes in this set but most of the mixes back then I was squeezing 28 songs into an 80 minute CD (LOL). My style has changed over the years but I'm still having a blast and still totally in love with The Music!!! (Enjoy)

I woke up early this morning with the some beautiful sun rays burning through my window and immediately thought of the first song in this mix "The Love Project" by Vick Lavender and my "Sister in Music" Ms. Agel-A. This tune has been one of my favorite songs since first hearing it back in 2020 and I decided to play it this morning, and eded up pulling out some other newer tunes and before I knew it "VS20" was up and running. This one is only an hour long but it has some 'Bangers' on it for sure... Enjoy The Music!!!

Daveed's - Desire (Long Play)

Fall

Producing my best house track so far in Ableton Live was a turning point in my journey as a producer. The goal from the beginning was not to overcomplicate things, but to focus on groove, atmosphere, and emotion. I wanted the track to feel warm, laid-back, and immersive—something that slowly pulls the listener in rather than demanding attention right away.

The process started with a simple drum groove. In Ableton, I built the foundation using a clean kick with a soft low end, paired with a shuffled hi-hat pattern to create movement. Subtle swing was essential, so I spent time adjusting the groove pool and MIDI timing until the rhythm felt natural and human. Once the drums were locked in, everything else was built around that pulse.

For the bassline, I kept it minimal and deep. I used a simple synth patch, focusing more on filtering and automation than on complex sound design. Automating the cutoff and resonance over time helped the bass breathe and evolve, which gave the track a sense of progression without adding unnecessary elements. Sidechain compression to the kick was carefully dialed in to keep the low end clean and bouncy.

Chords and textures played a huge role in defining the mood. I layered soft house chords with subtle pads, using reverb and delay to create space and depth. Ableton’s automation lanes were key here—slow filter sweeps, reverb sends, and volume fades helped the track feel alive and constantly moving. Small details, like background noise and vinyl-style textures, added character and warmth.

Arrangement was all about patience. Instead of big drops, I focused on gradual changes and smooth transitions. Elements were introduced and removed slowly, keeping the listener engaged without breaking the chill vibe. Ableton’s Session View helped me experiment freely with ideas before committing to the final arrangement in Arrangement View.

The final stage was mixing and polishing. I kept the mix clean by cutting unnecessary frequencies and leaving space for each element. Light bus compression and subtle saturation helped glue everything together without sacrificing dynamics. In the end, the track felt balanced, emotional, and true to my vision.
