New!

Well, it ain’t new no mo, but this is one of my favs, and had picked up almost all these tracks on the same day.  This mix has a good flow with some breaks classics, remixes, and some grime that all makes sense!  <3  [rock]

The 12th Day of the New Year

I believe in God“, the Father Almighty,
the Maker of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:

Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,
born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried;

He descended into hell. [See Calvin]

The third day He arose again from the dead;

He ascended into heaven,
and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost;
the holy catholic church;
the communion of saints;
the forgiveness of sins;
the resurrection of the body;
and the life everlasting.

Amen.

Dear My Digital Girlfriend

digital_gfNearly two months have passed, and each day my attempts to forget you fail. Although two months and two turntables are all that separate us, they have successfully kept us apart. You do not love me enough to break their barrier.

But if I had any hope, I would crawl on my hands and knees those two blocks to see your face, to find warmth in your eyes and to rest my weary head on the hollow of your chest. No one else can truly connect the erratic threads of my thoughts into something sound. None else is capable of reading the nuances of my expression.

I obsess over your contradictions. I fell for your magnetism in a crowd and your secret introversion; your stern focus and your frivolity. I love your swaggering confidence, and your aching uncertainty. But why must you be so uncertain of me? Have I not shown you my devotion? I love you more than the first whispers of spring, more than the watercolor skies, more than any other soul on Earth.

Why must these two loathsome turntables seem like two hundred, like two thousand?

I have succumbed to the intoxication of other things in hopes that they may fill the void of your absence. They cannot create feeling, but only take it away for a moment. Liquor has no passions like you do; it has neither the wit nor the burning ambitions. It cannot satiate my hunger for adventure, nor can it prompt me to expect more from myself. These things only result from your love.

My Love, you must not feel the profound chasm of want in your soul as I do, or these two blocks would have been crossed long ago; these two months would have been filled with my presence. But know that I will continue to love you. I will delight in thoughts of the past and my affections shall only grow with every dragging moment. I will continue to love you even though a partof me dies every day I am without your love.

I live in hopes that you will spare the death of my heart.

Yours forever,

DJ Bowers

Short Finger Licks

fingerlickinThis is another older mix I found on my desktop.  The Finger Lickin label certainly dominates my vinyl collection–especially the Plump DJs.  However, the label’s section in my collection is growing quickly.  Especially with tracks that have come out in the last year by Slyde and Drumatic Twins, you can expect there to be longer Finger Licks to come.  In the meantime, these are a few classics by the Plump DJ’s, along with Whitenoise by Shimon & Nixon.  Whatever happen to those two anyway?  Oh well.  Enjoy the mix.

  • Plump DJ’s – No Way
  • Plump DJ’s – Soul Vibrates
  • Plump DJ’s – Take the Weight
  • Plump DJ’s – Shiver
  • Shimon & Nixon – Whitenoise

Dirty Filth, Makes Me Wanna Breakbeat Stuff

dirtyfilthAh, dFox.  Thanks for the title.  This is my most recent and favorite mix.  Most all of these tracks I bought at the Seattle Platinum Records in June with the exception of 1 or 2.  No doubt this mix raises the bar a bit and it will be tough to do another one that competes anytime soon.  I’ll come back soon and post track titles.  They’re all winners.  I’m not sure there’s one track in here that doesn’t deserve a bow.

Making a Payback

payback_pinkHere’s your Payback for shooting me with a Daisy dFox!  Here are 6 tracks I mixed for you including a couple of my favorites like Bitches, Harmony, and Bang Box.  I actually made this mix several months ago when I thought I’d start making mixes by label.  But, I quickly scratched that idea since I have too many tracks for some labels (Finger Lickin), and too little of others (Future Sounds of Breaks–or whatever that stupid name is).  Anyhow, back at cha buddy.  Enjoy the beats.
