Brokenhomes - Brokenheart Mix

So i had this idea around February time, it was meant to drop for the 14th but I've only juss got around to doing it, well, I been busy what can i say?

Last night I needed a new bottle of juice for the palace so I popped to the retail emporium for said juice. I fancied some brandy but I didn't realise that stuff is pretty expensive and I'm only gonna wee it out so I opted for some cheap vodka. None of that paint stripper £6 stuff, Red Square. Some of you will be aware of the brand. I matched it up with some cranberry juice as I don't really deal with carbonated beverages and took it home and set the mood.

Dropped some vodka in my 19p mug from Asda and filled the rest up with cranberry. Drew for the Serato laptop (that's not the portable one, not the media one nor the main one or even the one that doesn't even have an application yet), the closed back headphones and got to work.

The concept of the mix goes out to the guys really. We have all been done over by a chick(s) in our lives and this CD is equivalent to going out with the lads getting drunk and pulling a lagoon creature. We have ALL been there. So yeah, there is a few soft moments on here, (yes we do have feelings and emotions girls, we just dont want to talk about them 24/7!) but mainly its misogynistic in all its glory.

So ima give you a peek at the track listing, no download available for this because that would be file sharing and that aint me but if you mail/message me ill hook you up.

Cover the labels, they can't bite ya s***

When I was younger I was into the whole DJing thing and the mystery of the DJ. I used to watch this film alllll the time with one of my best mates from when I was little. This scene where Martin Lawrence who plays Bilal the dragon breath DJ speaks to Kid about the selection for the party. He mentions about covering the labels so that any other DJs present couldn't copy the stuff he was playing. Now he is talking about easily accessible vinyl. Today's DJs could get soooo deep with the music but I feel a lot don't take full advantage. Back on my DJing days on North West London's premier pirate radio station, Lush 107.6FM. I used to pride myself in playing tracks other DJs wouldn't or couldn't play. Early broken beat, electro, battle records. These tracks were never faves, but they just made me stand out from the other DJs who were on the station.

Another note, DJs have become very lazy when looking for music. They rely on it being sent to them or it being plugged by someone else. I have been tapping up a few producers for a while now, keeping their names almost a secret. Its the old skool DJ in me that wants to stay one step ahead of the pack. DJs should enjoy 'diggin' in its virtual form. With so many genres crossing and freely available music (not stealing) sets should become incredibly varied and diverse. All we need now is the open minds on the dance floors or propping up the bar.

We must educate and not fear the unknown!

In todays saturdated bar and club market, alot of venues play it very safe and play the same generic music. Im not sure as if they feel that music is not an integral part to the clientel of their establishment or if that hiring a DJ to play the most popular tracks around is what people want?

When I was 18, I held a UK Garage event in my local 'dive'. The place was called The Glen, its still there as a late drinking but under the name Funky Browns. 11 years ago UK Garage was tiny, the only events around the local area were in function rooms of football clubs. The legendary parites of Edgware and Kingsbury town. Local DJs made a name for themselves playing the best in UK Garage at the time. This music was filtered round through cassettes of larger events and the pirate radio network. But each DJ in these events had his own sound. The scene, still in its infancy, still allowed the DJ to select sounds and tracks that he wanted to play for the crowd. DJs developed their own followings depending on the tracks they played and this was all decided off the back off 1 or 2 hour sets in small venues and sometimes bedroom cassettes floating around.

Today, music is rife. There is actually so much music out there that it is frightning. What seems to be missing from all this new music is the open minds of the audiences. People have come acustom to going out and hearing a certain genre of music. Or even more disturbing, knowing their favourite track will be played by the DJ on the night.

Audiences really need to open up and allow the DJ to once again shepard them through all the junk and lead them to the gems of music. Once venues and punters start to realise this, music will not just be a human playing the best of MTV Base on a couple of CDJs at the bar
