Mixed live by dj dAz of Umoja Soundsystem by using 12” vinyl and mp3’s. Got the idea for this mix by hearing the Todd Terje re-edit of Chic’s “I Want You Love”. Not that I’m a big disco fan but the re-edit made me appreciate the song even more…. Killer version. Big up to Neil Nice in NYC and Kingmost in S.F. for hipping me to the Chic joint. Oh and big up to Cokni O Dire for giving the Ma Foom Bey joint of which he probably got from DJ Destroyer, so Im’a big him up too. Respect!

DOOINIT - Guest DJ Kiilu (Freestyle Fellowship)

DOOINIT _ Fridays at the legendary CARBON bar in Culver City, CA. For those that don't know, Culver City is its own city in Los Angeles just west of La Cienega Blvd, south of Beverly Hills, north of Inglewood, and east of the Beaches. Basically... smack dab in the middle of ey'thing!.

Carbon is my home away from home... a place where they welcome me to do my thing... no ego's, no pressure, no playlists, just vibes... And I'm proud to say I've had a whole bunch of legendary L.A. DJ's come through and do guest sets in the past, to the delight of the crowd.

Big up DJ Kiilu for catchin' wreck last night with pure hip hop niceness. You killt it bruh!
