Our main homie, DJ Kid Lightning, is about to take the world by storm (Africa included) with his fresh n’ crispy new mixtape “Live From The Pan-African Musical Reclamation Dinner After Party”.

It’s a 30 minute mind blowing romp chock full o’ influences ranging from the tantalizing Trinidad & Tobago all the way over to the rough & rugged like Rwanda…uhhhh…Rwanda!

Head on over to his Sound Cloud page and download the mix HERE.  Shiiiiit, you might learn something!

Check out what the man himself has to say about it below…

*********************

On the surface this was going to be a really weird, esoteric mixtape featuring my immense love of African drums and the strange places they are currently showing up sonically, in other words, a fairly pretentious listening experience.

After starting to put together the tracklist for this, I realized that if I didn’t open up my scope to all the music I truly love, I wasn’t going to be doing justice to the full influence that various African and Caribbean music has had on music and pop culture since the black Diaspora of the 19th century spread previously unknown arts all across the globe.

As technology has evolved, so has access to sounds such as dancehall, highlife, juju, and samba that previously only the most devoted of crate diggers and musicologists were able to find. I guess more than anything this mix is my dance-oriented love letter to the people who are currently taking risks from the same old dance music and slowly pushing unfamiliar sounds in a new way.

Appréciez S’il vous plaît!

Here’s the latest & greatest rendition of the monthly DJ mix I do for the homies over at FoundTrack.

Inspired by the classic 80′s kid flick “Cloak & Dagger” starring the homies Henry Thomas & Dabney Coleman, I went for a dark n’ moody electro/house sound on this one that’ll creep ya out worse than that old bitch with two fingers missing…

Hope you guys dig it. I’d greatly appreciate any and all feedback you can throw my way.  Thanks!

Here’s the latest & greatest rendition of the monthly DJ mix I do for the homies over at FoundTrack.

With the summer rapidly shrinky-dinking away I went for a smoothed out but hella funky party starter to keep those warm in the sunshine memories basking. Throw on some Jams, slip on a pair of dock siders, grab a towel and set sail on this Hobie Cat Catamaran of Funk.

DJ KNEWJACK – CATAMARAN

Here’s the latest & greatest rendition of the monthly DJ mix I do for the homies over at FoundTrack.

With the early summer breezes on my mind I went for a cooled out, smooth and laid back vibe inspired by my good friend Scout Minami.  Throw on your house slippers, pour yourself a tall glass of wine, plop down a lawn chair in the front yard and get into it!
