Hello friends. The time has come and gone... kind of, for my annual Fall Music For Cloudplum mixtape. This marks the 3rd year in a row I have made a tape for my friends at Cloudplum and to share with you all.
The concept behind the mix series is based on music that reminds me of the Fall season. I would have to say the Fall is my favorite time of year no matter where I live, and my musical tastes tends to reflect that.
This year's mix is dedicated to Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse. He passed this Spring and the music world lost another genius.
So without further ado, here is FALL MUSIC FOR CLOUDPLUM 3!!!
The Lab put the post up late last night, and the show aired on Thursday morning pretty late or early depending on what kind of person you are. Either way I am so happy to have done this mix for them.
There are a lot of exclusives on the mix, as well as new tunes from mostly homies that I am really feeling.
You can expect a lot of percussive / jackin' / deep House tunes.

One of the nicest DJs I know sent over his new mixes last week, but with the move taking place I am just now getting to them.
Dj 7L of 7L & Esoteric & more currently of The Bladerunners is a solid DJ, good dude, and has a record collection to die for. As many of us are familiar with the stream of Yacht rock that can be heard on the AM dial, 7 went ahead and channeled his inner Michael Mcdonald and put together this great mix of just that. Solid gold blue eyed/ captain’s hat soul!
The homie OZ from Canvas took care of the design side of the project. The very special + limited Step Into The AM pack can be purchased exclusively at Uncle Pete’s in Boston which includes the mix cd, a print, + t shirt. 7L went all out on this and the mix is just ridiculously good without a hint of irony.
You can, however, download the mix for free (if you are one of those people).
This edition in the L.A.H. series comes to us from the New York by way of Pittsburgh half of the Philadelphyinz aka (dude on the right in the photo above) Skinny Friedman. Some southern rap from the east coast travelin man...
This is a bunch of southern rap I never get to play out, or never should play out but sometimes sneak in there anyways. Fuck it, i play "test my gangsta" like once a week. I wish somebody could tell me what happened to the amps because I have like four of their remixes and they're all amazing. Also, I'm in a band with the dude that produced "dope game" now (whatup alex!).
Thanks or letting me be a part of this, it's really an honor. the roster is super deep.
chalie boy + chingo bling - i look good (remix) ti + mannie fresh - the greatest miss b - bottle action j-kwon - hood-hop david banner - rep to the death silkk the shocker + mystikal - it aint my fault tru - freak hoes paul wall + webbie - bizzy body plies - got em hatin pastor troy - hard for the money project pat - make that azz clap bloodraw - dope boi ti + bg - what it do klc + bg - WAAAAAAAH killer mike - i'ma fool widdit young la - party pimp c + webbie - money gettin taller lil boosie - crayola pill - run up to me chingo bling - i'ma do this bun b + trey songz- hold you down bun b + chamillionaire - in money we trust (the amps remix) ray cash - dope game bg - be cool kenny knox + kane - git ghetto i-20 + ludacris - you really like her hitman sammy sam - set it off dj unk - hold on ho! three 6 mafia - test my gangsta
Sometimes these dudes come as a package deal so also hoping for future entries from Apt One!
Oh man, here it is! I have been bugging everyone in The Rub for some time now to do one of these and now we have two under our belts. Eleven got us a few months back and now Ayres really came through with some funky tunes for you. Here are some words from the man himself. Like everything, I really over-thought this mix. When I started making mixtapes in the 90s, I would pull all the records I wanted to use, practice each mix and chart out the flow of the whole thing on paper, including what tempo each record needed to be on the pitch control to mix with the next one. I would do a dry run to see how long the mix was going to be and add or take out some records, then finally hit record on my cassette recorder and hope to nail it on the third or fourth take. These days I do most of my mixes in Ableton, cutting and pasting in tracks, editing the intros and outros to mix perfectly, which takes out any room for human error. It's a hell of lot faster this way, so doing a Live At Home was a return to the old way of doing things, and while working with Serato and a Pioneer 800 does make things a little easier than 12" records and the shitty Numark mixer I had in '96, recording live still means taking that leap of faith when you hit record. I felt pretty happy with the second take so that is the one you'll hear. In terms of selection, these are all songs I don't usually get to play in primetime DJ sets, but I wanted it to still feel like a party. Some funk, soul, disco, hip-hop and a little bit of house at the end. I hope yall enjoy it.

So let's kick off the new year right with Live at Home pt 25 from our dude, Jayceeoh! This mix is a nice refreshing start for 2010. Super soulful and skillfully done. Here are some words from the man himself.
A few weeks ago the Fully Fitted homies hit me up and asked if I would be down to record a mix for the Live at Home series. I had been a familiar with the series but not up to date on all of the releases. I checked it out and a bunch of my favorite DJs had already thrown down, so I knew this was something I wanted to be a part of. When I asked what type of mix I should do the instructions were what "play what you would want to listen to on a sunday afternoon at your crib." I was feeling that vibe. I have been putting out alot of mixes recently but more on the upbeat tip in the interest of booking gigs and what not. I was pumped to throw down some classy tunes to chill out to. I didnt do my usualy style with lots of cuts and quick mixing. I let this mix breathe and am very happy with the outcome. Enjoy! - jayceeoh

Our good friends finally got back to biz and made the newest installment to the ongoing Discobelle dj mix series. Now I am not usually one to repost from another blog, but Pete and Mikey are the homies, Mandeep is another story and I am sure he is somewhere talking and talking and talking right now.
