This mix is recorded from an old cassette mix tape that Dave Fogg aka Dj Create and Myself recorded as the Teflon Dons. That is our House Music production moniker and we have released over 10 12'' releases on the Los Angeles based Worldship Music. This mix was done in 1997 roughly after our second release. The"Rudiments" EP.
This mix showcases cuts from that era. We also managed to sneak in a few of our of tracks on there as well.
This is a Journey to be taken in the context of the Layman learning Kung Fu at Shaolin. The mixes are martial in spirit and as we started 4 for 4, by the end you can hear the intensity building as we ended up going 1 for 1. Just like two people sparring.
This mix is one of my favorites and one of the most fun to record.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.

A mix of some of my favorite selections from the past, present and future. A reflection of what I would play at my own very personal Loft party.

Enjoy!

After a long night of work on a Saturday. I wake up. Praise Jah and play some Reggae music.
I figured I would record some of the mixes that come off the top the head.
Played nice and easy.... just selections that weave in and out.....
No planning, No playlists. Mostly wax on this set.
Enjoy.

The Strictly Social Mix by DJ Destroyer
Strictly Social has emerged as one of the Los Angeles soul scene’s most significant new monthly events thanks to a commitment to the concept of "Eclectic Soul Fusion." Resident DJ and founder DJ Destroyer has been working diligently to fuse many styles of soul music into one cohesive night and with Strictly Social he has succeeded. Out of the desire to spread the Strictly Social sound even further, this first exclusive mix was born. The Strictly Social mix recreates the vibe found at the event itself by championing both established and new artists in genres such as neo-soul, progressive hip-hop, and soulful electronica. Acclaimed artists such as Jill Scott, Raheem DeVaughn, Eric Roberson, and Amp Fiddler share the spotlight with up and comers like Rogiers, Jon Bibbs, Jimi James, and Michelle Amador. Mixed live in one take, the Strictly Social mix will give you a taste of what this very special event is all about.

A D&B mix I did a few years back. Maybe around 2000+2001. This was done using 2 Technics 1200's and an old Numark mixer. Recorded to DAT.

Some solid bass here. Most of the artists and titles I cannot remember. All the vinyl is mixed in amongst my D&B crates.

Enjoy the ride.

Continuing from 4 AM comes the next installment entitled Sunday Noon.
Done around the same period.
From WAX to DAT to CD..... now digitally.

Enjoy!

I did this house mix probably in 99 or 2000. This was a set I would have roughly done around the 4 am mark at some dusty loft or warehouse. The 2nd part of this mix rolls into what I call Sunday Noon.

Enjoy!

This mix was recorded during a scorching summer in Los Angeles in 2004. Recorded fom Vinyl To Cd.
Enjoy.
