Traffic Jam, episode 7: Whatchuknowaboutthat?

I'm not sure why, but at almost EVERY gig someone hears a song, runs up to me and incredulously asks, "Whatchu know bout that?!"  Apparently there are songs I'm not supposed to know about because of my gender or age or some other random reason.

Traffic Jam, episode 6: Who made the potato salad?

It's summertime... the season for cookouts, family reunions, and get-togethers with friends.  Regardless of the type of gathering, people drink, enjoy BBQ, sample the fruits of the season, and graze on specialty side items.  One of those coveted dishes is potato salad... it has so many different ingredients that mesh together... and even though it seems like a simple dish; preparing it involves considerable skill.  So, it is inevitable that the question: "who made the potato salad?" is asked at every event.


I think that is very audacious... if you didn't make the potato salad or don't know how to make it, then you should just thank the fact that potato salad exists.  And if the potato salad isn't so good... just remember that good potato salad is out there and you will be able to have some in the future....


That being said... DJ-ing is like making potato salad... so if you are wondering, who made THIS potato salad... I DID.  There's lots of different ingredients, and it may not be perfect, but I put my foot in it.  So don't ask questions... just enjoy.

Traffic Jam, episode 4: Sugar in the Raw




I started putting my traffic jam mixes out about a month ago and I probably should have mentioned this then, but I do all of these mixes on the fly. I grab a cup of tea, turn on my turntables, and start mixing whatever comes to mind. If I make a mistake (of which there are several) I keep it moving onto the next song. Nothing is edited or spliced together... each mix is organic and raw.

This week's mix is shorter since I have a lot going on at this moment. Next week I'll put together a regular 30-40 minute mix. But for now, enjoy some Sugar in the Raw....

Genius of Love...Tom Tom Club
Buffalo Stance...Neneh Cherry
Another One Bites the Dust...Queen
Remember the Time...Michael Jackson
I Can't Go for That...Hall and Oates
Need You Tonight...INXS
Say No Go (Dope Mix)...De La Soul
Wiggee Wiggee...Nucleus
Squeeze Me...Kraak And Smaak
Come Get With It...Black Vocab
