DJ Alias PodcastNew Edition- Inspirations and InfluencesWatching the New Edition Story got me thinking. What happened to the Black Male R&B group. Temptations, Jackson 5, New Edition, Jodeci. We do not have anything like that in 2017. No Black Male R&B groups signed to any major label right not.
This mix is a journey through the History of Black Male R&B groups. Doo-Wop, to Soul To Funk, To Modern musicians keeping the tradition alive on their own.

DJ Alias PodcastThe Eye InsideWow, Ok. I have been sitting on this mix for a while. Can't really say why.
It is extremely special to me. It is a look inside my growth as a DJ.
This mix cascades through many styles. Beginning with music I used to play a lot, and building into styles I have just recently learned about.
Also the vocal pieces, and narration give a good look into what I think about the working artist and how to mentally approach your work.
I hope you enjoy, and that this composition adds something positive to your life.

2014-02-1555 minDJ Alias PodcastChange forces change (Whole Lotta Love) Ike and Tina TurnerChange is a great thing for and artist. In recent years I have scheduled my time appropriately so that I could listen to, and process music in a way that would help me grow as a person and a music lover.
After listening and processing I would begin to play around with music on the turntables, figure out what songs work together, and play some bass along with my favorite music to internalize it.
Next step would be to create a mix, or a beat or some piece of music/writing to express what I have just learned.

DJ Alias PodcastThe Beat goes on- (Universal Language Theme)The journey of the show would feel something like this: Andre 3000 called Redman to tell him that the Red Hot Chili Peppers are doing an album with MgMt. Production by Danger Mouse. Redman could not keep that a secret so he hit up Diamond D and the Large Professor who were chilling with Tribe at the time. As Q-tip heard the news Marvin Gaye, Jelly Roll Morton and Bach looked down at these joining forces with approval. The spirit of those legends got the attention of Mick Jagger and Victor Wooten who were at Kanye West’s studio. Vic’s Regg...

2010-11-301h 03DJ Alias PodcastDay in Day Out - (Good Morning) Part One of Three Narrated by FENSTERMy daily life is built around listening to, researching, creating, and blending music. I would say I am officially obsessed with music and sound. I actually get depressed if I don't have my daily music fill. This mix is entitled DAY IN DAY OUT as it is a look into my daily routine. Not only musically but mentally and emotionally as well. As I go through out the day my soundtrack is similar to this. My intention is that the messages, beats, breaks, harmonies, and rhymes are relevant to your DAY IN DAY OUT on a personal level.
Good Morning...
