//Paisley Mixes..

//A while back one of the homies asked me if I knew of any good Prince mixes, or if I had done one for that matter. Live sets yes, but much as I love Prince, I never went in the lab to do something. Intimidating, to say the least. Fortunately for all of us, three seriously dope djs have attempted and succeeded. These mixes explore the deep catalog of a musical genius and living legend, and like a great dj should do, introduce you to lesser-known tracks and versions.

DJ Jaycee - The Lake Minnetonka Suite, Vol.1 (2008)
Joints from '78-'86 era Prince, The Time, The Family, et.al. The interview snippets are incredible as well...and if you don't follow The Afternoon Delight, Jaycee's drivetime mixshow on Atlanta's V-103 you might not know what radio should really sound like..

DJ Dredd - Prince "Genius" Mixtape (2010)
Can't say enough good things about this dude Dredd, but I will say he has held down the successful "Prince vs." party in D.C. for 10 years. This mix visits Prince sounds from '78-'90. Check his Soundcloud also for "Prince vs. Neptunes," "Prince vs. Andre 3000," and "Prince vs. Madonna vs. MJ" mixes...he's got one of the deepest Prince collections I've heard.

dj MOma - SEXLOVELY (2011)
I know, I just posted this last week for Valentine's Day, but any mix that starts with "When 2 R N Love" deserves another spin!

//Prince plays tonight and Wednesday in Oakland!!! Bless..

//New Mixes from the Family..

//Wow, my crew has been busy lately! It's nice to be around people who work hard and refuse to rest on their laurels. The result is a slew of diverse new mixes for you, FREE!

//DJ Zita - MadeMix Vol.3: LoveHate Collection

A hot mix of 80s heavy hitters for the sisters at Made Jewelry. CD release parties at WE LOVE THE TOWN tomorrow and ALLURE next week. More DJ Zita here.

//DJ Mpenzi - UNWIND Vol.2: The AfroSoul Journey...Gets Funky

Cutting edge Afrobeat/House/Latin/Soul to unwind to from my bro Mpenzi hosted by Oakland's FEMI. Design by me! UNWIND Vol.1 still available here.

//Willie Maze - G-G-Golden "Taste"

I messaged him to send me a mix for his guest spot at GOLDEN next month, then went to sleep for a couple hours. Woke up, the homie had already gone into the lab, recorded and sent this!

Enjoy! 1neLuv..

//Sade Tribute Pt.2 Mix ..

//Mixed by me, DJ Dmadness and recorded live at Devil's Pie Los Angeles on July 15, 2009. This is the sequel to the first Sade Tribute mix I did at Devil's Pie SF in February 2008 (online download here and cd copies here). Whereas the first mix was composed of all-vinyl selections including Sade favorites from all 4 of her classic LPs, 12" and 7" remixes... this second mix contains other album cuts, b-sides, songs interpolating and sampling Sade classics, hip-hop blends, house remixes and live blends. Much love and thanks to the fam who laced me with some of those songs, yall know who you are! I feel this is a worthy followup and companion to the first mix. Respect to Sade and look out for her new album which is supposedly coming November 2009!

Special thanks to Devil's Pie resident djs Phatrick and Roza for letting me do my thing and all the L.A. fam for coming out. If you're in Southern California I highly recommend checking out Devil's Pie next Wednesday night, August 19, at Verdugo Bar as they welcome guest dj and soul sista herself Kim Hill who will be throwing down a special Slum Village Tribute (RIP Baatin, RIP Dilla, long live T3).

Limited CD copies of this Devil's Pie Sade Tribute Pt.2 will be available Free at Devil's Pie L.A. Aug.19 and me & Zita's 3rd Saturday GOLDEN on Aug.15
