We need some Daz-I-Kue love up in here.
Honestly, dude’s been putting up so many good house mixes on the interwebs these days, I haven’t even been able to pick out a single one to post. It’s like choosing which one of your brother’s kids is your favorite — you can do it, sure (it’s not like they’re your kids), but you’re probably still gonna feel pretty bad about it after. Still, this new mix of his ended up on-loop in the headphones today, and starts off with Universal Robot Band’s “Barely Breaking Even”, a tune who’s lyrics about scraping rent together and being broke after the weekend have always spoken to me on a very deep, personal and real level as a not-so-gainfully-employed musician (it’s the oldest profession). And seeing as I used “Dance and Shake Your Tambourine” in my last mix, I figured it’s fitting. There’s also a nice remix of “Diamond Life” in there that I haven’t heard before and am kind of mad at myself for not knowing.
So yeah, enough chat. Get on this Daz-I-Kue (of Bugz In The Attic fame) mix and boogie the holidays away.
(Side note: I guess this mix was recorded to promote the Top Ten Social party out of Oakland this week, where Daz will be spinning on Friday, November 27th. Seeing as I’m a coast away and the Hudson is about as far west as I get these days, I don’t know a damned thing about the spot, but it seems like a good party. If any left-coasters find their way to this post, you should almost-definitely check it out.)
