Opening set for ACODJ SEASON 14 Grad Fest.

Originally, when ACODJ reached out to me for an opening set for Season 14 Grad Fest, I was originally putting together a “cool house set." 
I changed my mind when I saw DJ Koco live at his LA debut [instagram: @djkocoakashimokita]. You should have seen the man – sweaty AF, spinning all 7" vinyl, beat juggling, playing the obscure samples we recognized from popular Hip Hop. This dude blew my mind! 

From there, I knew I had to put together a vinyl set.

And so, I prepared an all-vinyl set for grad (shoutout Google Sheets). The day of Season 14 grad, we ended up having to use the Pioneer 1000SRT, but fortunately I digitized my set and played the set as is.

I wanted to clean it up a bit before uploading, so I re-recorded my set yesterday so that I can archive this mix. After all these years calling myself a DJ, I'm just glad to say that I was finally able to put together a cohesive vinyl set. 

My intention was to DJ an all-vinyl set that the friends and family of the graduates could recognize and jam too. 

Thank you for reading and listening. Please enjoy this thoughtfully curated mix! 😊

Happy April! Kick starting the new month off with a heater of a guest mix from our friend Teeza from the OC and Academy of DJs gradate school! She's dropping in with a trap, dubstep and Drum and Bass Mix.

"Hi, I'm Tiffany aka Teeza! I'm an open format DJ based in Orange County, California. I'm a Academy of DJs graduate from Seasons 14. My styles range from Trap, Dubstep, DnB, House, and Hip Hop.

This mix has a large influence from the Sable Valley as well as Brownies & Lemonade rising artists. The vision was to have the listener feel like they're at an underground event wherever they're listening from. It features trap sounds from RL Grime to drum and bass heavy hitters from Kumarion. I hope to take you on a journey that will make you hype and in your feels."

LGCY FM S7 E89: Teeza (Trap, Dubstep, and DnB mix)

Tapping into episode 90 of LGCY FM! With the 90th installment to our guest mix series we have one of our new LGCY Core members and Academy of DJs graduate - @dj-gieezy! Her guest mix blends together sounds of house and ukg. 

"Born & raised in Los Angeles, CA, GIEEZY aka Angie grew up around performing arts & music and started as a hip-hop/dubstep/trap DJ in November 2019 with Academy of DJs. Through the years, she has diversified her sound and enjoys playing anything that can get the crowd energized - from bass house, baile funk, bounce edits, future bass, and more. She continues to grow her love for all sorts of genres & sub-genres, while allowing herself to freely express her creativity.

My love for DJing continues to grow exponentially, because it allows me to bring together all sorts of sounds I’m loving at the moment. I’ve been on a huge UK Garage wave lately, and I’ve been especially loving the sounds of Fred Again & Sammy Virji. I owe a lot of my house influence to my gigs in Seattle and making this mix for LGCY allowed me to pay tribute to that."
