Fine I won't put the blog on hiatus. Complaints were made. I'll keep posting, you apes.
John was right, I need to keep chronicling my progress outside success with women.
I think I'm on the right step. My Remixing LIFE 5 mix is just a totally different mix than any I've ever done before. It feels more raw, more emotional, and takes you through an entire story. I just sat down and mixed it on the fly, drunk and high out of my gourd.
I wanted this mix to be at times like a walk through a burgeoning romance...but at points to also possess lightheartedness and humor. The opening track featuring Kanye West is the song where you meet. A commonality - everyone loves Kanye. Turn Me On is that first breath of the romance, the moment both of you realize that "it's on". The audible orgasm in the song is representative of the spiritual orgasm one can have when they realize just how -on- it is. The potential of the coming session builds itself up in your mind and demands release. Going into Hush Boy, I feel like this is the ascent into those first few minutes after the connection is made - they are irreplaceable and fantastic. Up until the song Race, It is the miniature honeymoon period when the two of you are just amazed by the chemistry and the potential between you.
The song Race is almost farcical in this context. I feel it puts its preceeding track, Moving Too Fast, into perspective. Moving Too Fast is a highly emotional song, and I feel like it would bring two lovers close together during a "moment" on the dance floor. If I were any less of a smart-ass, I wouldn't bring in Race. But I do. I feel like Race puts a lot of the emotional seriousness in the first half of the mix into a comical perspective. You can't take yourself too seriously. If Race is the comic interruption that disrupts your session, Love is Gone is the intense reassurance that all is well. You dive in with even more passion than before. Chang represents a coasting sensation. I love this track because of that. It just feels like progressing without actual motion, almost a musical hovering of sorts. This song is the moment during intercourse when you are concerned with neither foreplay or orgasm. The musical center of sex. Neither shore in sight. U Wanna Little of This brings the mix to a high point with its vocals, and the remaining two songs form a very nice coda, as a chilled-out but still hard-hitting celebration.
Very happy with it on the whole. Download here: http://www.djmixtape.net/dl.php?m=4319
