Streetlife Entropy

here’s a musty mixtape of sixties & seventies relics from your grand-dad’s basement collection. where electric guitarists do what they do best, let loose on endless groovy jams. a blend of funk, jazz, rock and blues that maybe Pop’s would have dug.

Skinny Ties

bouncing between the guard rails of punk and mainstream radio rock this mixtape finds common ground in power pop. where household names and total unknowns use the forward thrust of chugging chords and driving drums to create a chewed up late 70s / early 80s bubblegum pop sound and energy that hits a bunch of my nostalgia centers.

luv’s 420 joint

when dj luv’s records started i had the idea of making a mixtape dedicated to marijuana. every mix up here was made in a haze of pot smoke so it was inevitable that time and inspiration would coalesce into luv’s 420 joint. an epic journey that crosses many genres and eras exhibiting how this glorious weed is for everyone and all can reap it’s benefits. to quote Louis Armstrong :
“We did call ourselves Vipers, which could have been anybody from all walks of life that smoked and respected ‘gage’. That was our cute little name for marijuana… We always looked at pot as a sort of medicine, a cheap drunk and with much better thoughts than one that’s full of liquor… the respect for it (gage) will stay with me forever. I have every reason to say these words and am proud to say them. From experience.”
so from one viper to another, happy 4/20. now take a hit off luv’s 420 joint.

Mysterious Cosmic Jellyfish

you arrive washed out by the sun, covered in salt from sweat and the sea, drifting along the inward journey to your paradise. you followed the call of the mysterious cosmic jellyfish that resides in the center of your own personal Bermuda Triangle, lost between mind, heart and soul. it summoned you so it could impart the wisdom of the deep. open yourself up and let the ancient understanding take you to a dreamy world of fantasy filled with warm sea breezes.
