Hush Radio

About two years ago I woke up with the worst headache of my life! I was pretty nervous so I eventually went to the E.R at 3 am.   A whole bunch of tests were run, one of which required a spinal tap, so I said "I don't know what this is, so let's find out." Well, it turns the source of the original headache is still a mystery however, when you take too much fluid out of your spine it creates a terrible even worse headache then the original that brought me there in the first place. That caused me to be bedridden for a entire week.

It was a strange kind of headache that hit the back of my head and it only stopped hurting when I didn't move at all . When I kept my head on the pillow of my bed and stayed horizontal the pain was pretty mellow but the second I got up to walk somewhere, it was debilitating. It was so painful that it made nauseous, so I never left my bed until a week later when another doctor could fix my spinal fluid situation.

Long story short "too late" I went in with a headache I came out with an even worse headache in a totally different spot.  Within that week it was torture to try to figure out how not to move, but still be in a regular headspace. It's one thing when you're in pain and stuck in bed, but when you are an a state of limbo and feel okay, it can drive you mad!   One of my favorite things in the world is to make mixes. I have a lot of jams that are more in the chill, alternative, indie range and kind of un-mixable and not really a electronic dance format. I really do love and appreciate all forms of music except country but even now and then there is a song that yanks at my heartstrings.

So I had a lot of time to listen to music when I was bedridden and couldn't move my head without pounding, I decided to make a mix. It was a mellow mix and I called it Sick mainly because I was sick when I made it and these tracks are pretty damn sick. These are the tracks I wanted to give to my boy Scotty James due to boredom. I kind of got creative with the way they were presented as opposed to trying to do a really fancy beat mix. It's more of a KCRW "Morning Becomes Eclectic" type of vibe. I really enjoyed making it I absolutely love the tracks that are on it.  Scotty said he's been revisiting the mix and he told me recently that he thinks it's one of his favorite mixes of mine if not the favorite.  

I've been meaning to make a sequel.   I recently had a very minor surgery that kept me in bed for a week so, therefore part two emerged. A  little less intense, a little wider in content, but hopefully recapturing the same essence of the first one. This one's similar in concept but instead of it being kind of a sad story, I wanted this one to be more of a kind of inspiration to take a "sick day".

Get away from work, find some greenery, take some greenery with you and head out on the open road for an impromptu adventure.  Let's face it, we're all going to be dead a lot longer than we are going to be alive on this planet, so we better take every moment we can to enjoy it. Everyone needs to take one every once in a while just to keep our heads from exploding. Hopefully this mix will help you enjoy your upcoming sick day.

This mix is a combination of soulful house and funky breaks. It starts off with some nice deep proper vocal house which eventually gives way to a few funky house tracks. These tracks set the stage for a solid hour of super funky beats.

The mix goes back and forth between disco breaks and ghetto breaks with a few oldschool funk edits thrown in just keep you on your toes. This is a really fun mix and should get you in the mood for some summer fun. Hope you all enjoy the sounds.

For those of you who may have missed my opening set at Flashback 2013, never fear because we captured a recording of it! Knowing that everyone after me would be banging it out with acid infused tracks, I decided to set the tone with some moody/trippy tracks to ease everyone into the night. The engery level of the mix increases towards the end as the dance floor started to warm up.

Enjoy!

Happiness all comes down to perspective. At some point in life you are pushed towards one direction of the spectrum or another. Good/bad, happy or sad. After many years of avoidance, procrastination and fear I've made a choice. The glass IS half full!

Think about it this way for a sec. Perhaps the world live in is heaven and we've got it all wrong? If it isn't, why not pretend until we are forced to deal with not so heavenly things. The bullshit. Once that's dealt with, it's right back to heaven. It's worth a try, right?

With this newfound perspective, I put this new uplifting drum & bass mix together. Push play, sit back and enjoy the journey that is, "All Forms Beautiful".

Much love and respect!

This mix is a blissful compilation of soulful, vocal and deeply spiritual house.  The tracks chosen for this journey took years to find and were specifically selected because of their lyrical content or positive nature.

I intended for this audio collection to reflect my own spiritual awareness and hopefully serve as a positive influence on those who chose to listen to it.  I tried not to sacrifice energy level for content, so hopefully it gets your toes tapping as well as encourages you to keep on fighting the good fight.

Thanks for listening and God bless.

Propagate is a mix I performed on New Year's Eve 2013 at a Hush Crew party. It's a nice bite-size mix, clocking in at just over an hour. Starting off with Breaks, it moves into a couple Tech-House cuts, then melts into Acid House, finally getting a little harder with a couple of Techno tracks near the end.

Three of the tracks, "Monks Vs Predators", "Dominator (Remix)", and "Crowd Logic (Smooth Mix)" were written and produced by yours truly, Rob Beta.

Hope you guys dig the mix!
