funk/soul/hip-hop/latin (& other styles) dj available

[knuckles]

I made a separate thread for this, but I figured I'd put it here, as well. I've been playing a variety of musical styles for over 6 years, and I would love to bring some musical heat to the playa this year. Here are some links to two of the mixes I've made:

"Wild Styles" (2004)
(Salsa, hip-hop, pop, funk)

"From San Francisco to Brooklyn, pt 2" (2007)
(Soul, funk, hip-hop, some reggae, and a few surprises)

I started out playing records (these mixes were recorded with vinyl), but I've transitioned over to using Serato a few months ago. This now gives me the opportunity to play other types of music that I've collected in digital format over the years, such as breaks, drum & bass, house, salsa/Latin jazz, afrobeat, and more.

However, Serato still requires the use of two turntables, either CD or vinyl. Since I'm coming from New York, I won't be able to bring that myself, unfortunately, so I will need to have those items on hand wherever I play.

I'd love to contribute, so let me know if I can. There are lots of DJ's covering the spectrum of electronic music at Burning Man, and I know I can definitely provide some of that good organic music that you might not find elsewhere.

Hi Knuckles,

Nice work! I've been listening to your mixes at work and I think you've increased my efficiency (or at least elevated my mood). I don't have a stage for you, but I wanted to say thanks, I dig it, and please post again if you get some gigs lined up and I'll try to make it.

If you don't mind, I'd love to take your mixes to the playa for myself and others to hear. But I'd most want to catch your live set, so good luck with that.

Thanks!

Scott (aka Scooter T)

That's great you posted the song list. You've got lots of cool stuff in there that I hadn't heard and I was thinking it would be nice to know. An eplaya serendipity moment, I guess!

Thanks again!
