I’ve also left myself some messages on my answering machine, but they never ended up being anything as amazing as this. More like telling me where to find my car keys once I sober up.

He definitely dresses the part too. So dope!

“Theres a reason that common records are common.. it’s because they’re the shit. Everybody loved them.”

So true. Dollar bin jams are the hotness.

And of course, with every great track, there are al;ways fresh remixes. And both of these are amazing on their own!

“Keep Watch Vol. 13 comes to you courtesy of Atlanta, Georgia’s very own DJ Klever, world renowned turntablist and party-starter. Just in time for Halloween revelry, the mix includes hits by the likes of L.A. Riots, Little Boots, Yeah Yeah Yeah’s and Klever himself. A healthy selection of upbeat tracks with a little darkness thrown in for festive good measure. Don’t get superstitious, this is a rare lucky #13.”

And here is another mix by Klever which he put out many, many years back. Lots of classic Rock tunes, and ill scratching of course. Courtesy of Maurice Garland’s Blog:

“But this mixtape was refreshing. Mainly because it had absolutely no rap on it. It was for real for real Rock x Hip Hop in pure form. Klever was taking classic and soft rock records and scratching over them. Shit was dope as hell.”

Go check him out on Saturday! One of the illest dudes in the game right now! NO FILLER, ALL KILLER!!!

“Motherboard’s Jordan Redaelli stops off in a magical realm known as Western Philadelphia, where he finds Ramble John Krohn, better known as the musician/producer RJD2 and the guy who helped write the theme song to Mad Men that everyone loves so much. In the time it takes RJ to assemble and bake his recipe for an apple-raspberry cobbler a la mode, Jordan gets a tour through RJ’s home studio, an enviable playground that includes the Holy Grail of analog synth technology, the Yamaha CS-80, as well as RJ’s enormous wall of home-made modular processors, amplifiers, filters, compressors, and pretty much anything else you can think of in relation to the creation of electronic sound.”

I like seeing interviews where people talk about other things than just music. RJD2 baking cobbler is dope.

Here is one of my favorite RJD2 tracks, which was the hidden track on his first album, Dead Ringer. He samples the vocals from the classic songs by  The Intruders, “Memories Are Here To Stay“. DJ Premier also used that sample to chop up the painos in the beginning for Common’s “Sixth Sense“.

Download the mix over here at HighSnobiety.

“We have teamed up with DJ JayCeeOh for the release of “Pop Models Volume 2″. His first release after a summer spent touring Europe and North America, Pop Models Vol. 2 is a club banger comprised of exclusives, original remixes, and edits from the likes of Fedde Le Grande to Shabba Ranks to Fake Blood. JayCeeOh’s puts his touch on everything showing his versatility to jump genres while constantly elevating his sound to another level. Co-Executive Produced by Tim Brodhagen to assure maximum damage, this mix will be bumping from Brooklyn to Brazil and everywhere in between. Download this exclusive mix here.“

Bonus beats… here is one of the edits used in the mix, made by the man himself.

Calvin Harris – The Rain (JayCeeOh Party Rock Edit):

Download remix here.

Its dope to see how they switch it up so many times, freaking the sample in different ways. I’ve seen other people play the MPC live, but this is just some next level shit.

Here is the original song they were flipping, in case you didn’t know. “You’re The One For Me” by the legendary group D Train.

And another little fact… I put this song in my soul/boogie mix from earlier this year. Check it out here! My best mix yet!

DJ AM @ Power 106 Mix. Part 1 / Part 2. (December 2005). AM was a rising star in the early 2000’s, but this mix from 2005 seemed to make his name more widely known. It caused a stir in online forums everywhere, and got spread to everyone. Most people heard AM for the first time through this mix. They finally got a sense of how this guy mashed all genres together, mixed quickly and flawlessly. From classic Rock, to club jams, and even classic Hip-hop shit. Amazing!

DJ AM – Live @ The Do-Over. (6/22/2008). Like in some parts of the mix above, this mix shows AM playing some classic hip-hop and soul records. It was recorded live at one of the best parties in the country right now, The Do-Over. Its a chill Sunday afternoon party which allows DJ’s to come and play whatever they want. So basically, that real, no bullshit, good music! Most people know AM as a Top40 Club DJ, but AM knows that real hip-hop!

DJ AM @ Shiro I Shiro (Berlin). Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3. (9/9/2008). Here is another gig in which AM was more free to play some good classic hip-hop, as well as some 80s, soul, and current radio jams. Its more than 3 hours in total, so you hear AM go all over the place! Superb mix as always.

DJ AM – Live @ WMC (March 2008). This mix shows what AM does best… just straight up killing a party. Lots of great transitions and routines in this one.

DJ AM – Mix @ Live 105.3’s BFD. (2008?). This is a mix of AM spinning at some sort of festival for a radio station (there’s a video of it below). He plays a much harder set than usual here, with lots of hard rock, and heavy electro. Seems perfect for the crowd, as you an see them go crazy with each track in the video. So much energy!!!

DJ AM – Live @ Concorde (Lindsay Lohan’s BDay). Part 1 / Part 2. (2007). Another superb mix showcasing AM’s party rocking abilities. Clever transitions and killer scratching.

DJ AM – Mystery Mix.  Part 1 / Part 2. (2007?). This is one of the mixes that made me really like AM and his ability to drop tracks I would never have thought of playing myself at Top 40 type clubs. At some point in here, he drops Sharon Jones & The Dap -Kings “Stopped Payin’ Taxes“. I lost my shit when I was hearing this for the first time at work! Almost got in trouble, LOL. Incredible mix overall.

DJ AM Virtual LAX Mix. Not sure where this mix comes from, but its about 10 minutes long. Some scratching and classic club jams.

DJ AM – Live @ Moombah. Part 1 / Part 2. (June 2002). This is a “Pre-Serato” all vinyl live mix form AM in 2002, posted by his good friend and fellow DJ, Mike B. This style of mixing all genres together while playing a party is pretty much standard in todays Serato world. But here is AM doing it the hard way with all vinyl, back when not many people were trying to do this. Definitely the King of this style.

Banana Split Mixes. AM started the Banana Split party in order to create a “house party style” vibe, allowing DJs to play whatever they wanted but going heavy on new dance and indie music. Turned out to be a big thing! Game changer for a low of people as Mike B put it. Not only did he play these heavy indie tracks at Banana Split, but he often sneaked them in at mainstream Top 40 sets, breaking new ground always. As A-Trak put it, the “floodgates were just starting to crack”.

DJ AM – Old Navy Mix. (1/30/2008). Here’s a smooth indie/rock/pop mix posted by his friend DJ Eli Escobar at his blog. Not sure where the mix is from, its definitely different from the kind of vibe you’re used to hearing AM spin. Good music.

DJ AM – “Elton” Mix Series (2009). (5 separate mixes in folder). These are the last known mixes AM put out (that I am aware of). He posted them early in 2009 on his twitter account. He basically recorded these mixes at his house for himself, to vibe out in the car. So as you can expect, its filled with music he personally enjoys. Lots of smooth, chill indie and some classic jams. Probably a lot of stuff he couldn’t play out at his Top 40 gigs. Overall, these are beyond amazing mixes.

DJ AM + Travis Barker – “Fix Your Face” Series. Always breaking new ground, AM teamed up with Travis Barker as a DJ/drummer combo to deliver music in a fresh new way. Nothing short of amazing in both these mixes. 
Fix Your Face Vol. 2 (Coachella ‘09). Live from Coachella 2009.
Fix Your Face Vol. 1. Studio Mixtape.

DJ AM – Red Zone @ Club Harlem in Tokyo. (11/1/2005). Here’s another fun mix that’s 2.5 hours long with AM going all over the place. I’ve heard Japan crowds are heavy into classic hip-hop and turntablism, so in this mix you hear AM often dropping classic hip-hop shit right in between pop tracks. Impressive mixing as always.

DJ AM & Jazzy Jeff – Deckstar Party in Miami.  Part 1 / Part 2. (2009).

DJ AM – Christina Aguilera Wedding Reception. Part 1 / Part 2. (2005).

She hit a nice range of indie and electro tracks, keeping the tempo moving throughout. We won’t be able to catch her anytime soon in Miami, as she plays out of New York. But maybe one day!
