@rip_adam "This mix is a full dedication to east coast club culture, featuring old and new school tracks from Baltimore, Jersey, Philly, New York and more. Moving from 130 bpm to 180 bpm, this mix embodies the history and dynamism of club culture, making you leave all your emotions on the dance floor (in my case, my bedroom being the dancefloor). The earlier end features a lot of Baltimore and Jersey club, bringing you classic edits of staple sounds in Black culture. The first few tracks pay homage to Baltimore and Jersey club's house roots, bringing you edits of classic house tracks. Moving on, the next few tracks are an homage to club culture's ability to sample anything. This is specifically important to me because it allows documentation of Black pop culture through music. Specifically, the Dora edit moving into the Maury edit is a tribute to the time I spent at home, unsupervised, watching daytime television, which I think a lot of Black youth can relate to. In the middle, you will find a section dedicated to club queens, giving space to all the femme voices and sounds within this very cis-male dominated scene (featuring a dedication to K-swifts influence). The latter half of the mix features a lot of fast Jersey club and Philly club, and is a tribute to the more aggressive side of club culture. Philly club's ability to reference hardstyle, trap, and EDM should have you footworking for the rest of the mix.

Throughout the mix, I also chopped in some vocal clips from TT the Artist's musical documentary - "Dark City Beneath the Beat", as well as other vocal clips found on the internet. I wanted to give space to the voices that are pushing the club sound forward and have direct accounts of how they view and see their own culture."
