Anybody that’s been following Paper Buddha for a while knows we’re big fans of Dallas’ legendary Rob Vaughan.

This past weekend was our annual trek to the Southern California desert for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and staying in our house was none other than the man that once (no, seriously, just once…) called himself DJ Oblivion.

What started as our traditional semi-chill Sunday-afternoon pool party at the Coachella House™ turned into a three-hour dance-a-thon When Rob took over the decks.

Unfortunately, the first 70 minute’s of Rob’s set was the only recording we made the entire weekend. His subsequent two hours was a continued musical journey across multiple genres and tempos and we all regret not hitting the big red button when he started back up. We’ll always have our (fuzzy) memories, though.

Play it loud:

Hijack is known for making jacking house music with bouncy beats and funk-filled grooves. His distinct sound fuses house and techno with a variety of influences, from the funky loops of 70s disco to the boompty beats of Chicago’s shuffly house cuts.

Since 2006 Hijack, has been establishing himself as one of underground dance music’s rising stars, remixing the likes of Moby, Adam Freeland, and Magik Johnson on labels such as Skint, Underwater, Potty Mouth and his own label, Jack Union Records.

His music has been played and supported by the likes of Switch, the Crookers, Riva Starr, Kissy Sellout and Annie Mac, and is a regular feature on radio shows and dance floors the world over.

Hijack’s DJ sets are packed with unreleased tracks and re-edits and have a unique sound that has led to regular appearances at venues and festivals across Europe, the USA, Australia, and South Africa, for some of the world’s biggest venues and club brands.

Jon’s Jack Union label has featured productions from the likes of house heavyweights Switch, Trevor Loveys, and Lee Mortimer, and its original style of booming quirky house music has attracted an army of avid followers.

In the coming months Hijack and Jack Union will be releasing more music than ever, with new original EPs, remixes and DJ mixes, and continuing to move crowds at clubs and festivals worldwide.

It is very rare that I find a mix from a dj that just blows me away from start to finish.  This one captured my attention from the intro and just sucked me into it’s deep, funky netherworld.  I met this cat almost two years ago at my friend’s birthday party in Houston and to say the after party was monumental would be a statement of lame proportions.  We tagged on the decks for at least 4 hours, all the while giving the high, mid and bass knobs a workout that made me question which track was really playing.  His knowledge of classic electronic music at such a young age made me have hope for all ya’ll suckas out there!  Enjoy this mix by Houston’s finest DJ, Chris Costello, and hit him up on his Facebook page.  You will not be disappointed.

It has been quite some time since I have posted one of my mixes, so here ya go!!  This is a mix I did in preparation for a party in my old Ft Worth stomping grounds.  The party was called “Dazed and Confused” and since I’m a big fan of the fat, funky and dirty basslines, I thought this would get your ears bumping!  Lots of good booty shakin’ madness on this one and, as always, feel free to hook up your friends on it.  This is a paperbuddha exclusive, so don’t sleep on it.  And the new Mike Hulme on this mix is just murdering the dancefloors at the moment!   Go get it asap here!! Enjoy!!

Bassed and Confused – Michael Todd

For the last 16 years, TJR has been weaving his way in and out of the electronic music world as a DJ and producer. His djing roots began in North Carolina where he went to college for golf but discovered mixing and scratching instead. After graduating in 1998, he went full throttle with djing by making a name for himself with track selection and a scratching & mixing technique that set him apart from others. He managed to win a few DJ battles along the way and was featured in URB Magainze as a DJ to watch in the future. A few years back he utilized his DJing background for producing and has so far released original tracks and remixes on some of the most cutting edge labels around like; Potty Mouth Music, X-Mix, Wearhouse, Jack Union, InStereo, Simma, Promo Records, etc. He continues to craft his skills in the studio as well as on the decks and with his recent move across the coast to Los Angeles, CA, be on the look-out for his new label and sound.

This week, I have a very special guest. It’s not often he has the time to put together a mix, but when he does, it’s something I really enjoy listening to. He was pretty much my partner in crime for a good decade; we threw so many parties and events and had residencies at clubs I can barely even remember. Our Groov-E Company days were so memorable and just make me smile everytime I think about them.

DJ Britton was pretty much the first dj/promoter to bring underground dance music to the unsuspecting masses in Ft Worth TX. Our Nervosa night on Sundays at 8.0 featured some killer talent, local and nationally. From Rob Vaughan and Redeye to DJ Love and Lance Cashion, just about every Dallas dj played there in our 5 year run. But enough about the good old days……

Keep up with Britton and his mixes here and on his Soundcloud page. Or hit him up on Facebook. Time to get ya groove on!!
