The Springtime Warmup Mix 2023

Raised up in Baltimore Maryland raised up listening to bebop jazz & classic motown with my dad, that was an introduction of my first ear of  music when I was like 4 years old🎶. I remember sitting in front of that RCA record player, the floor model edition and watch my dad stack like 7 records to listen to while getting ready for work or getting ready to go out to an gathering. I would listen to the greats like  Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis , John Coltrane, Billy Holiday, Bob James, Freddie Hubbard, Donald Byrd, Quincy Jones and I can keep naming 😆.  Fast forward to the 80s ,My ear suddenly attracted to the 80s pop music I would listen to Billy Joel Pink Floyd Duran Duran Toto Michael Jackson and more. Then one day my dad would pick up this loving an caring lady to go to church services, She stated she had an grandson that would love to hang out with me. So I  started hanging out with her grandson and was surprised how he was also inspired in music... This guy would take two dictation tape recorders with the controlled pitch an would blend two song together...I was blown away how he would listen to the music very carefully to create a blend like that.. Fast forward a little around the 90s this very same friend would get jobs at local clubs and me and some other close friends would help carry those crazy heavy  record crates to wherever he was playing. Years pass as I watched him Dj and play we were all there experiencing alot of great fun as he spin those records,  We were right behind him in those dj booths..I got a chance to watch  and briefly meet other great inspiring House DJs in Baltimore , Dj Scottie B & Mark Allen who I had the pleasure to work with at Inner City Records Downtown Baltimore, Did alot of club hopping which inspired me to start mixing, Im not into it for the competition but just have a big joy for House Music 🏠 So sit back and enjoy this  ride...Let go.. 🔊🎶🎛🎚🎧
