InFlight#1 : DJ Dmadness : Urban Flight Apparel

Dang it's been like 9 months since I made a post...life doesn't stop! We keep it moving...


Here's new lil project me and the homie Doc Max have been working on for his brand Urban Flight Apparel.

First in a three-part series of collaborative mixes to express the vibe and intention of Urban Flight Apparel: perseverance, forward motion, acknowledging struggle and sacrifice, giving it up to the people and spirits who helped us get to where we are, and realizing our dreams.
Click the artwork to listen and download, and stay tuned for Part 2!

//ESCAPE 5/27 special guest dj un.d.fine

//It's been a long time, I shoudn'ta left you..

But been busy with new life!
On that note, cue the video:



//Oh yeah, and this Friday, May 27 #ESCAPE goes down in the Town, myself guesting in for DJ Zita, who makes her full dj return from maternity leave in June (hint hint #GOLDEN 5-Year Anniversary)!!
//Alongside yours truly this month at The Layover we got our fam, real humble cat and forward-thinking selector un.d.fine. As west coast legend Aceyalone once said, "me i'd rather be un.d.fine-d / not underestimated or undermined / i'm underlined as the underdog / under the influence of time." Come thru catch the vibes and listen good!

un.d.fine - "driftin thru space"
(live mix on neitherworld radio)
