This totally improvised Live Stems Mix of Gino Soccio's iconic track "Dancer" was performed during a Twitch stream on March 19, 2022 using Traktor DJ Studio and a Native Instruments D2 controller.

It has the sort of hypnotic flow that feels like a perfect fit for getting 'lost in sound' at an after-hours party in a dark room full of sweaty bodies.

You can watch a much shorter clip of this 'Live Stems Dub' on YouTube as I was performing it, obviously edited down from its original length: https://youtu.be/ChyfugLfbjw

François K - Dancer Dub (Live Stems Mix)

Kanye

Artistry is subjective,
Depending on,
your own perspective. 
Drum machines 
and production teams
Versus,
Acoustic rides
And single strides. 

Both are art
So let's restart. 

What the heck!
Don't pick on Beck!
That little dude
Has helped our mood
And made his art 
both big and smart
(And likes you to
Even tho you're rude.)

Of course I like 
Beyoncé too,
She can sing
for me and you,
And she can dance,
and she can move,
And doesn't need 
your point to prove. 
So don't get mad 
when nothing's left,
Don a leotard,  
WWF!
WTF 
why the spite?
We're all dreamers
In one long night. 
We make our songs
And put them forth,
Like our children,
Like your North. 
So don't get violent
On mine or his
Or create battles
Where none exist. 
You're a genius
So be gentle man
And become
A gentleman. 
Pick your battles
The demons real
The oppressors
Who never feel
They look normal
don't look like Shrek
But still don't take it
Out on Beck!
Or on Picasso
Or on Matisse 
Or other artists
Protect the freaks!
We're together
Against the man,
Against the grain,
And in the sand. 
The landscapes bleak
It's a desert world,
So don't descend
Upon the pearls,
Being thrown 
before the swine,
Have you lost
All of your mind?

And what the heck
Don't pick on Beck!

There's only dreams
And nothing more,
Artistry,
A revolving door,
All who knock
Can come inside,
And reveal
The way they hide. 
Might be with 
a drum machine,
A dancing beat,
A euphoric scream. 
Might be with
Nylon guitars,
Weaving out
Of falling stars. 
Both we need,
Both are true,
There is no better,
Just me and you. 
Art is not a relay race,
Or about who has
A pretty face. 
Art connects 
a man to God,
Broken open 
spirit bod. 
It's not of football
Or a boxing match,
Root for no one,
Enjoy the catch. 
It's probably all 
some PR move,
But you don't have 
Much else to prove. 
You've rocked the world 
And won respect
So what the heck!
Don't pick on Beck. 

Hey Kanye

My co-writer Kurt and I had been following the case, and when the civil case verdict came down letting the cops off the hook the song wrote itself in twenty minutes. Nothing's going to bring Alex Nieto back, but a line has to be drawn. He was killed because techies moved into his neighborhood and saw longtime residents as a threat.  And the cops thought his Forty Niner jersey was some kind of gang sign. Don't they train these people?

The incredible harmonies and distinctive arrangements of The Jayhawks set them apart from the rest of the Minneapolis music scene that emerged in the 1980s. By the early 90’s they became a driving force and inspiration behind the growing Americana movement. Combining the talents of singer-songwriters Gary Louris and Mark Olson, The Jayhawks released their major label debut, the acclaimed Hollywood Town Hall (1992) on the Def American label. This was followed by Tomorrow the Green Grass (1995), which produced the alternative radio hit single “Blue.”

When Olson left to pursue a solo career, Louris singularly took over the songwriting role in The Jayhawks creating the band’s enduring sound on some of their best selling and well-received albums including Smile (2000) and Rainy Day Music (2003). Louris continues to write and tour with the longtime core group of Marc Perlman, Karen Grotberg, and Tim O’Reagan. While the touring line-up has changed over the years and Olson briefly reappeared in 2010 to record and tour, this classic lineup maintains a commitment to adventure and forward motion in their shows and in their recordings. Paging Mr. Proust (2016), was produced in Portland with Peter Buck and Tucker Martine, and broke new ground for the band while receiving some of the best reviews in the band's history. In 2018, The Jayhawks released Back Roads and Abandoned Motels, and album that largely consists of Jayhawks versions of songs that Gary Louris wrote with other artists + 2 new originals.

In July 2020 The Jayhawks released their 10th studio album, XOXO on Sham / Thirty Tigers.
