Music, mixes and musings
A short list of things I didn't expect to learn from DJing

Patience
I’m learning to be patient with myself. Time, effort, patience is the path to knowledge, skill and wisdom. There is no shortcut.
I’m learning to be patient with others. We each have our own perspective and needs. This is the balancing act, considering my needs and also the needs of others…
A NATEFIX Original Mix
Posted April 27th 2021
Inspired by the Netflix Original Series, Queens Gambit and all the dope Hip Hop out of Queens, NY. Enjoy It!
On Doomsday, ever since the womb. Til I'm back where my brother went, that's what my tomb will say.

MF DOOM is the ultimate revolutionary. A subversive artist that bucked consumerism and the commercialization of Hip Hop throughout his career.

Season's Greetings ya'll!
National Lampoon gave us the classic movie, Christmas Vacation back in the 80's. In 2020, though, it's more like a Christmas "Stay-cation". 😂
NYC Hip Hop Anthems
Posted November 24th 2020
To quote New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo, "We are New York tough. We are tough. You have to be tough. This place makes you tough, but it makes you tough in a good way." This has always been true, though, as Hip Hop will attest. Remember Run DMC - Tougher than Leather?
This mix is a shout-out to those raw NYC classic Hip Hop joints. From Old Dirty to Mobb to M.O.P to Onyx. We are New York Tough! 💪🏽💪🏾💪

Seeds are stored potential for growth. They wait. They allow themselves to wait. They are patient. They wait for the right conditions. They wait for soil, moisture and sunlight. When they have what they need, it's time to grow.
It's ok to be a seed. It's ok to wait. Potential for growth is always there. When the conditions are right, we will do our growing.
with a touch of Raggamuffin and Hip Hop

I'm imagining how to use music and DJing in other areas of our lives -- not just for parties, clubs, bars and concerts. How else can DJs serve us? In what other settings and situations might DJs provide value? I love seeing DJs pop-up in fitness centers, department stores and flea markets. Even some big companies are bringing DJs into the workplace.
Let's take that a step further, though. How can DJs and music facilitate our personal goals and work goals, and serve our needs in other ways? Music does more than entertain us and provide recreation. It can also help us improve our health, feel accomplished and achieve our goals.
A Pop Smoke Tribute / Mini-Mix
Posted February 24th 2020
The concept for this mix was conceived just a couple days before his death. Then the news hit. Pop Smoke was murdered in a house he was renting in Hollywood Hills.
