Description
The first mixtape I made was in 1991. Bottom line was that it was wack. Basically, I popped a tape in the tape deck, pressed record, and mixed for 30 minutes straight, hoping not to have any double beats. I must have started over like 20 times because I was never satisfied with my blends. Sometimes I would get 20 minutes in and then I would just efff up and scream. To make a long story short, the tape was never released and was one of the most frustrating DJ experiences. What’s also funny is that nobody back then had their turntables sideways. I have madd respect for those cats back in the day who made real live mixtapes. One old school cat I have mad respect for, who made dope live mixtapes, was Phil Mark of SBS. If you ever read this, respect. DJ Bojo and I got our first analog four track in 1995 and started making mixtapes just for homeys on actual cassettes. Our other MVP homey, DJ Bo, was also making madd mixtapes during that time. As a crew, we probably put out at least a dozen free mixtapes during that era. What’s sad is I don’t have any copies of any of those old mixtapes.

This mixtape is unique. It is my first mixtape with the use of my Numark CDX turntables. I still have my 1200s, but I decided it was time to change with the times and try something new. All of the tracks played are from my CD collection. Most of the tracks you will never be able to find on wax. A bunch of the CDs I picked up at shows and are CDs you probably will never see in a retail store. Each song is a song I used to play in my car CD player. I used to have a two hour commute to and from work each day and many of these songs got me through the road rage and madness of everyday traffic, hence the title Life In The Slow Lane. I thank God and all the artists on this mixtape for getting me through those tough times. I hope you enjoy.

I hate to preach, but all you young cats out there getting into the game... get your skills right with the 1200s, with real vinyl, no Serato or digital decks!!! Go record shopping, learn to dig, learn to open up a new piece of wax, have a record collection, pay your dues. When you get your skills right, graduate, move on and grow as a DJ. You can’t go to college if you haven’t passed kindergarten. Peace.
