Music Inspired By HBO’s The Deuce

I’m so excited to finally release this project that worked on in conjunction with HBO as part of their HBO Mixtapes & Roller Skates event series. Me along with a bunch of my friends are traveling across the country taking over public places and turning them into roller skating rinks, and the Philly installment is happening on Thursday July 19th, 2018 at the Blue Cross RiverRink.  Check this out this link for RSVP and more info, as me, DJ Camilo, UNIIQU3 and Jasmine Solano are going to be bouncing, rocking, skating and rolling all through the night!

As part of this tour HBO asked us to create official Spotify playlists inspired by their programs and I was given “The Deuce”, David Simon’s gritty portrayal of early 1970s New York and the atmosphere that was around Times Square. For this project I decided to take a little different approach. Instead of making my specific playlist roller skating centric, I wanted to take a deep dive and immerse myself into the show, choosing music that I thought would be listened to by the characters who are in the show. So what you got was a lot of funk, soul, R&B, rock and classic salsa from the years 1969 through about 1973, featuring artists like Traffic, Eddie Kendricks, Rare Earth, Hector Lavoe, Gladys Knight, The Bar-Kays, Eddie Palmieri, The Three Degrees, Mountain and more… It was a pleasure to create this playlist and I think I did it justice! I hope you enjoy!
