Music is my constant companion....I live, eat, sleep, and breathe the rhythms of the music. It's love, life, a source of good energy and my passion. Whether it be Hip Hop, soul, house, rare grooves, funk, or jazz, you'll find me movin to it, groovin to it and getting lost in the rhythm....what you're getting here is just a sampling of what moves me. Hopefully it will do the same for you...

    Smooth Grooves

    Smooth Grooves: A Delicious Concoction Mixed by DJ J-SmoothOriginally Released: 2006From 2002-2006 my souljunction crew (Darin, Benson, myself & DJ J-Smooth) collaborated on throwing a series of small one off parties in LA and we released a handful of music compilations (many of which are my releases already found on my podcast page).Eventually DJ J-Smooth & I came together to release a handful of J-Smooth's previously unreleased house music mixes. He provided the mixes....all done live in one take. No mistakes...no editing. I provided the visual concept & design of the graphics, an extension of my own "Candy Box Cover" Series, pressed them up and released them on my own dime. Just like we did with my compilations we pressed up hundreds of these things and distributed them hand by hand to anyone that would take them. This is just one of our house music releases and it very well may be one of my all-time favorite mixes to drive to...it's filled with a collection of deep, soulful house tracks that are all....Smooth Grooves.Happy Listening,Sincerelyidea-----------------------------------1.

    All Hits: SuperSoulSh*t Volume I

    Originally Released: 2002Background on All Hits: SuperSoulSh*t Volume I:Ahhhh, The Next Level: Hawaii's original Hip Hop show; College Radio KTUH 90.3 FM, Friday Night, Midnight to 3am...The 5 semesters we broadcast out of that dark cozy corridor known as Hemingway Hall rm. 202, on the University of Hawaii @ Manoa Campus were truly something special. From Spring 1995 to Summer 1997, we dug in our crates & cd books to give you the best Non-Commercial Hip Hop available.We played Biggie before he became an icon & martyr.We had Common Sense before he was simply Common.We tried to force-feed The Roots & Outkast, Bahamadia & Gangstarr down every listeners earhole. Busta Rhymes, Redman, De La Soul, Pharcyde, Nas, Mobb Deep & A Tribe Called Quest were in our permanent rotation before any other station in Hawaii ever thought of playing these artists.Our old school hours were classic like shell-top Adidas & our occasional late-night jazz/soul hour was simply divine. Our faithful listeners still remember this; those herb smoke filled, late night sessions eventually became stuff of legend.For those of you who look to recapture those precious moments, we present to you, ALL HITS: SuperSoulSh*t. This is a special compilation near and dear to our hearts as it perfectly replicates one of The Next Level's favorite Late Night jazz/soul hours.This is the kind of set that would have the folks wrapping up their parties in the dorms & on-campus apartments something to wind down and get busy to....Feel free to do the same...Happy Listening,beats & blessingsidea--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Just The Two Of Us - Grover Washington Jr & Bill WithersWhat You Won’t Do - Bobby CaldwellYou Remind Me - Patrice RushenAin’t Nobody - Chaka KhanStrawberry Letter #23 - Brothers JohnsonSearchin’ - Roy AyersFootsteps In The Dark - Isley BrothersPlaying Your Game, Baby - Barry WhiteSummer Madness (live) - Kool & The GangEverybody Loves The Sunshine - Roy AyersSummer Madness - Kool & The GangSecret Garden - Quincy Jones featuring Al B.Sure, Barry White, El DeBarge & James IngramMoments In Love - Art of Noise

    All Hits: Organic Hip Hop Hits Volume I

    Originally Released: 2002"This mixtape is quite possibly the most flawless mix of Hip Hop and soul I have ever heard. It's basically a collection of songs that pair a bunch of ill emcees on jazzy, soulful tracks with R&B singers that can actually sing.It's hardcore Hip Hop with a jazz flavor, so while the lyrics are heavy, the beats and singing are so melodic that it's actually pleasant to listen to. Another great thing about the careful selection of songs by idea is that damn near every song is mad inspirational without being corny" -Rime Magazine-Comments: ALLHITS®, the Original Celebrated Curiously Hot Organic Hip Hop Hits®, is a specially arranged compilation of Hip Hop songs many times hotter than today's ordinary commercial music. The recipe for this sound is derived from the generous use of phat beats, complex lyrics and real mc's developed by true Hip Hop heads, b-boys & mc's during the late 1980's. This era, which is often referred to as the "Golden Age of Hip Hop", was characterized by a style, content, and consciousness rarely exhibited in today's shallow, materialistic, and relatively uncreative mainstream rap music.Despite the over-commercialization and saturation of rap music in a market driven by fickle teen dollars, there are still some artists who have managed to maintain the integrity, credibility and tradition of this bygone era. Most of these same performers come from a musical lineage that can be traced back to many of the early Hip Hop pioneers. Here we present to you a sampling of some of the best and the brightest talent that Hip Hop has to offer, blazing a trail back to a time when it was all simply about the music.Happy ListeningSincerely-idea----------------------------------------------------1 Jill Scott feat.
