JAMES PANTS-BEAT ARCHIVE PART II

Guys, I don’t know how in the HELL I missed this one. Granted its only like 4 days old, but the fact that there was a PART ONE that dropped back in September that I missed completely makes me feel like I’ve had my internet head in my internet ass for the last few months. For this I apologize. Please don’t do the fool like me and download. I’m going to go drown myself in my sorrows now. *facepalm*

Mayer Mayer Mayer. Can we ever grow tired of him? No.

We’ve posted the James Pants version in a comp before, but the talented Mr. Hawthorne puts his own spin on the song making it much more soulful. Love it.

Check it out.

DANDIGGITY’S ECLECTICUTS VOL.15

Sometimes it’s just isn’t your month to be awesome. My laptop crapped out on me for a month and that meant I was behind on everything. Thus why my comp is coming out a couple days behind schedule. Yeah, boo hoo buddy. Well I hope you all enjoy this months offering. 10 tracks of mood music for this moody day (it’s finally raining in San Jose). I’ll get through this problem and I know you all will get through yours.

MAIYA PRESENTS…RENDEZVOUS VOL.2

Hello Blind I. Me again. Before life became ultra busy, I used to write lots of poems. I have books full. To me, these mixes are kind of like musical poems. They’re a glimpse into my head. This edition is full of drums, drums and more DRUMS (Chocolate Star) and SYNTHESIZERS (Dam Funk). Both equally rendezvous-like if you tap your imagination. Round of applause to NO for the artwork. He and $ are amazing at what they do. Enough rambling.

<3 Maiya
