electric relaxation

I gotta create a new category for this stuff.

First – a random idea that someone might not have actually done already: I wonder if there’s any good software out there for managing metadata about playlists and mixes that work, e.g. BPMs etc. Serato has some of this stuff built-in, but it doesn’t seem terribly intuitive.

Next, today’s mixes:

M.I.A. – Paper Planes (acappella) over Gang Starr – Mass Appeal
Jay-Z, Snoop and Pharell – Drop It Like It’s Hot (remix) over Gang Starr – Mass Appeal

Both of them work really well. Too bad I’m probably the only person I’ll ever meet who actually thinks Mass Appeal is suitable for a party .

Slum Village – Raise It Up
A Tribe Called Quest – Mind Power
Mariah Carey – The Roof (Shook Ones Remix)
Mobb Deep – Shook Ones (pt. 2)
Method Man & Redman – Blackout

I’m starting to put together continuous sets, since I can now beat match within about 30 seconds.

Ok, this is totally party material:

Lil’ Jon and Youngbloodz – Damn!
Gheto Boys – Damn it feels good to be a gangsta (just the first verse, for the novelty factor)
Fabolous – Keepin’ it Gangsta
Lloyd Banks – I’m So Fly
G-Unit – Stunt 101 (Ratatat Remix)
