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!

All 45s Live Mix From Eavesdrop Radio

All the way live from the 215, this past Friday night before my Get Lifted monthly with Rich Medina & DJ Mike Nyce, I had the honor of dropping by Eavesdrop Radio hosted by my homies Junior & Lil’ Dave, on the legendary WKDU Philadelphia 91.7 FM. Unfortunately the night before, my laptop started to go on the fritz and in order to get it back in working order, I had to do the full-on “clean erase & install” jazz that sometimes is the thing that has to happen. So I did what any DJ worth their salt would do – I packed two bags of vinyl (one with 12″s and one with 45s) and I headed out and played an impromptu all vinyl set. I think I’m gonna have to start to talk about vinyl, why I love it, and why it is still very important. But this latest episode of The Walking Dead is about to set off so I promise to revisit this topic soon. In the meantime, thanks to Junior & Lil Dave for having me, for Chris for helping set this up and big up to WKDU for being the shit for as long as I can remember.
