disco

While I continued to get busy with the techno, I wouldn't let the deep house side go.  From the original description, I wrote that "this music will remind you in the future of your experiences today."

dd14 - Velvet Rope (1998)

The idealist in me brought out some great mixes.  From the original description:

"You know when you're on the beach, layin' under the sungods with your walkman on.. your eyes closed but all you see is brightness. The sounds in the background are happy, filled with hope. The kids are runnin' around, yellin' and hollerin'. The crashing shore, the tight bodies surfin' only a few feet away.  And all of a sudden the most beautiful, rich, phattest jam comes into your conscience. And for that one moment in your life, everything is washed away on that not-too-distant shore. Everything feels good. Under that sun. And you want it to last forever and ever.. I remember once having this experience. I was a teenager, and I felt like a kid. I remembered this moment and I never let it go. I still remember the mix I was listening to. It reminds me of the utter joy I felt within myself that day. It is my dream to provide the sounds that deliver an experience like that."

Barbecue (Part 1) (2001)

I couldn't believe five whole years passed since I did the original Barbecue, but I was honestly having trouble finding tracks in that genre that matched the quality of the original.  But there was still some excellent tracks coming out here and there, so I decided to showcase them before it got too late.  Rereading my description from back then makes me laugh.  I really am insane.

"hey girl! it sure has been a long time! you look good, girl. work them pumps! and your family looks good too, but yo sista looks like she put on a few! anyway grrl, put the kids on the swingset, cuz we have some shit to take care of, yes we do! oh and it looks like you've lost some weight too, but screw all that healthy stuff, cuz tonight imma fill yo ass with sweet potato pie, ribs, fried chicken, collard greens and save some room for my sweet lemon meringue pie. maya angelou would be proud, girl, she really would. oh, you wanted to know about these beats? well girl, let me tell you, these tracks are two and a half hours of some of the nastiest vocal jams to hit the streets from three years ago to three weeks ago. we just pick right up where we left off back in 01. now I know it's hot as hell up in here but that don't make no kinda difference. get yo ass out there on the patio and shake ya rump!"
