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!!

Britton Spring ’10

Installment number two of our guest mixes is a killer!  Chris Lund of Left/Right has been kind enough to send me his mix from the Breakspoll 2010 party at Fabric from a few weeks ago.  He is a veteran dj/producer from Dallas Tx, with degrees in both music composition and audio engineering.  His work has been featured on labels such as Sound of Habib, Ego Shot and Dusted Breaks (named best new label at the Breakspoll Awards this year).  If you like your beats funky, don’t sleep on this one!

Check out his Facebook fan page, and he also has a Soundcloud page with current and past mixes.  His tracks can be found on Beatport , Amazon and I-Tunes, and his Break the System tour starts at Austin’s SXSW Festival in March.  Werd!

In the next few months, I’ll be hooking you up with some exclusive mixes from some DJ’s that I love.  From breaks to house and everything in between, these mixes are ones you can only find here.  They are recorded live in my humble little studio and feature DJ’s that are guests on my on-line mix show (more info about that later) and are major players in the underground music scene here in Dallas.

The first installment comes from my good friend Polyx.  He has been a rising force in the underground dance scene for quite a few years and is still one of the few carrying the breakbeat torch.  He loves his beats progressive and funky and this mix is a testament to his sound.  I can truly say that no one else can imitate his style; this brother impresses me every time he hits the decks.  So enjoy and check out his Facebook and Soundcloud pages for more info and downloadable mixes.
