listening for a while but today is an epiphany moment 

puffy's Rainbow in the Dark

It's been quite some time since I've posted a mix, but I've decided to get back in the habit of it. Over the past years, I've recorded many mixes, but was held back by posting them due to various imperfections. "Don't let the perfect get in the way of the necessary!" a mentor of mine used to say. So, let's get back to it with this lovely chill house mix.

This mix is dedicated to two incredible people, Dave and Amy, who live their lives in a perpetual embrace of love, creativity, celebration and freedom. These are some of the tracks I played for them in a magical place, out of time, out of reality, out in space, and full of love. I'm grateful for generous people like you who honor and support artists in their craft. 

You could call this a Paul Simon sandwich.

Also sending love to the legendary Joegh Bullock, my dear friend and mentor who passed this year. Now you're swimming in the Sea of Dreams and dancing in the Mystic Beat Lounge. I hope it's everything you imagined, as your imagination was infinite.

Mystic Boot Lounge 2 - Sea Of Love

FREE HIGH QUALITY DOWNLOAD - Welcome to dreamtrap. The BootsTrap mix is a bass-heavy excursion into the the evolving horizon of deep trap music where we'll explore the emerging style of chill, beautiful songs - infused with the hip-hop inspired bass beats that make trap what it is. This mix was specially crafted to make the use out of your subwoofers, so if you have bass in your soundsystem - turn it up. If you've tried trap music before and it's not for you, I urge you to give this sub-genre a shot. It's quite different than the usual in-your-face eardrum-wompers you've heard before.

BootsTrap - Volume 1 (Chill Trap Mixtape)

This mix is named after a magical night with my friends Cassidy & Christina as we tromped around Oregon Country Fair creating puns out of various farm terms. The best which was Lettuce Turnip Beets. Over coming months I plan on releasing a number of new mixes to blast off the coming 2010 summer festival season. Stay tuned for more as I currently have 14 different mixes in progress. This mix is a slower dance set that ranges from 92 to 100 BPM. The next 2 mixes from this series will be a bit faster with a similar style of mashups intertwined with thick dance beats.

Please! Burn this mix. Bump it in your car!  Share it with friends. Put it on your iPod. Turn it up and crank the bass! Comment on this page and let me know your thoughts!

I truly hope you enjoy this music as much as I do.

This mix was recorded by DJ Zack Darling on January 18th, 2010. The above track is a high quality MP3 at 320 kpbs.

FREE DOWNLOAD - The second mix in the BootsTrap series takes us further into the world of the bass-heavy, hip-hop infused music of chill trap beats - also known as dreamtrap. This mix was arranged and mastered with the sub-woofer turned up and the low frequencies in mind. Be prepared for rich bass and dreamy melodies infused with the striking dynamic syncopation of trap rhythms. Enjoy the ride.

Bass Therapy Vol. 6

This is a DJ mix that has been in the works for many years. After finally compiling my collection of reggae mashups and remixes, I discovered that I had enough great music for more than one mix, so here is volume one. Rasta Rediscovered is an exploration of Reggae through Mashups, Bootlegs, remixes & rare re-creations. This eclectic mix of Reggae mashups and strange re-creations bring together many musical genres under the familiar bass lines and beloved riddims of Jah Music. This is a live mix by yours truly.
