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.

Art & Description

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

Sampled on this mix

• Sarah Palin endorses Donald Trump
• George Carlin on “The real owners”
• Bill O’Reilly “Doing it live”
• Howard Beale rant from Network (1976)
• “I hate the fuckin’ Eagles” from The Big Lebowski (1998)
• “Who needs the radio?” from Dumb & Dumber (1994)
• “You can’t handle the truth” from A Few Good Men (1992)

Art & Description

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.
