My new promo mix, SLOW YOUR ROLL 2 is finally finished. It’s taken me longer than expected, but better late than never, right?

This time around I put a large focus on Latin/Brazilian & Ghettotech/Dancehall inspired House & Electro, which is all the “rage” these days (I guess?). Along the way, you’ll also hear Grade-A Cuts, French FiIter House, Disco Bangers, Classics Tunes re-envisioned & some surprises throughout.

The second edition of Slow Your Roll marks the beginning of a series (of the same name) I plan to continue putting out. I hope to have them done before every season! Summer is right around the corner…so I’m gonna get the ball rolling in a couple of weeks.

Enjoy and Thanks for listening. Spread it around. Let me know what you think!

One of my best friends (and favorite producer/turntablist) Woof the Phonocator gave me Judy Torres’ “Come Into My Arms” on wax for Christmas! [NOTE: I posted it up a while back] Included on the vinyl is a House remix (”The Casa Mix”) that I’ve been salivating over for some time now. I searched the inner and outer web to no avail. No one I know had a digital version, let alone the original vinyl. Woof found out; looked through his enormous vinyl collection; and guess what? HE HAD 2 COPIES! ….and Now I Have one of them! THANK YOU Josh!

Judy Torres – Come Into My Arms (The Casa Mix) 1987

I was brought up on my sister’s homemade Freestyle tapes and bootleg CDs. Growing up in Jamaica, Queens had a soundtrack provided by: Stevie B, Judy Torres, TKA, Debbie Deb, Coro, C-Bank, Cynthia, Noel, and the list goes on.

Mention “Freestyle” anywhere outside of New York, Florida and/or Miami and nine times out of ten you’ll receive a blank stare or a reference to hip-hop freestyling (”off the top of the dome”). Now mention “Freestyle” around my Dj partner in crime Alain D. and be ready for stories of growing up in Brooklyn and critiques on “kids these days”. We’re doing an old school house/freestyle/breaks party soon (he doesn’t even know it yet)…so be ready.

Relevant Tunes

Giggles – Love Letters
C.Bank – I Won’t Stop Loving You [One of my favorites OF ALL TIME; Wait for the horns.]
Cynthia – Change On Me [Extended Mix]

I’ve definitely been slacking on getting this out, but here it is!

This Mix was partially inspired by: an anti-energy drink; a 12AM siesta; Bromance in the club; Tuesday Mini-Adventures; Coconut Water; The Pacific Ocean; Warehouse parties; Being in Love; and the letter K.
It’s jam packed with something for the tiny dancer in all of us. ENJOY and Thanks for listening!

Cheers,
dj ARQ
