As the end of this year has been creeping up, I’ve noticed that my mind, body, and soul have been exhausted. Being present with myself, my responsibilities, my loved ones, and my communities has been very difficult, to say the least. The new year ahead also looks to be more demanding than this one has been. So I resolved to undergo a refresh that would allow me to feel rejuvenated and prepared for what’s to come. 

DJing has consistently been one of the tools that I employ to refresh. The artistic gratification, euphoria, and deep connection to music that I experience while doing it have brought me up from my lowest of lows. To address the emotional lows I’ve been feeling recently, I set out to let loose and create an extended mix.

Certain genres always speak to me during my mix-making process. For this extended mix, those genres were contemplative, instrumental and bass heavy, and relatively slow (at 75-115 BPM). They include downtempo, hip-hop, trip-hop, r&b, soul, funk, boogie, dancehall, reggae, ambient, and a couple variations of rock. 

I hope you leave this mix feeling refreshed and rejuvenated! Let me know which songs and blends speak to you the most!
