DJ Mix Downloads

I used to collect cassette tapes from Washington DC area DJ’s in the late 1990’s. People like DJ Geometrix and the Trooperz, DJ Neil Armstrong, Scott Henry, and Lexus King influenced me to start recording my own mixes after I had begun collecting records. I started writing just charlie on them and the name stuck. Some of the mixes I made between 1999 – 2008 are here for free download, as well as some more recent ones.

I used to distribute the mixes below on CD (originally burned and printed individually), now they live on the internet. Download them and listen to them at home or on the go in MP3 format. Most of these mixes are recorded at 192kbps and are about an hour in length. Tracklists and cover art below, too. I hope you have as much fun listening to them as I did assembling and recording them.

8|8 Grand Imperial Mystic: Justice

Art & Description

Grand Imperial Mystic

This mix is part of a mixtape project from 2015 called 8|8 wherein 8 people created 8-song long mixtapes around pre-determined themes. Like the second mix, this one has a political theme, but it is mostly focused on a political figure of unity: Robert Kennedy. At the beginning and end of the mix are his speech immediately following Dr. King’s death. Contrasted with Kennedy’s optimism and wisdom are Jerry Falwell Jr., pastor Jamal Bryant, Randy Marsh from South Park and 6th century philosopher Aeschylus.

It is a multi-genre mix which features hip hop, electronic music and funk among others.

Tracklist

  1. Flying Lotus – Siren Song (Stan Forbee remix)
  2. Brother Ali – Uncle Sam Goddamn
  3. Alan Parker – Border Incident
  4. The Black Angels – Young Dead Men

8|8 Anger: 2016 U.S. Politics

Art & Description

Just Charlie - Anger

This is the second mix that I created for the 8|8 project, the first being Grand Imperial Mystic. As you can probably tell, there is a Donald Trump theme to this mix, as this was recorded the week that Sarah Palin endorsed Trump. From both sides of the political aisle there was palpable discontent.

This theme was not particularly easy because it demanded striking a balance between anger and music that I would want to listen to. I do not listen to much angry music. It was a fun project which forced me to go slightly outside of my musical comfort zone. It includes a lot of inside jokes and a few film references.

Tracklist

  1. Black Sun Empire – Wasteland (feat. SPL)
  2. Bob Dylan – Masters of War
  3. Bassnectar – Seek & Destroy (Remix)
  4. Metallica – Seek & Destroy
  5. Black Flag – Rise Above
  6. The Eagles – Peaceful Easy Feeling
  7. Carly Simon & James Taylor – Mockingbird
  8. John Lennon – Gimme Some Truth

Chinese Connection: Future & Past House Music

Art & Description

Just Charlie - Chinese Connection

A house and breaks mix which harkens to the late 1990’s when I was introduced to the DJ’ing game. I was raised on Gene Farris, DJ Dan, and Armand Van Helden and that sound is carried forth into the next decade. Timeless tunes in this mix which anyone familiar with house music in the 1990’s will know and love.

I recorded this mix after touring around China for a year and finding that hip hop is often difficult to for Chinese audiences (which typically do not speak English) to grasp.
