DJ Game Has Already been Won

Follow him he's doing it right.

 

 

People the problem of remixing is self recognition. Money can be made off talent that was given before hand. Talent gets lost in the mix. I wanted to become a DJ and ultimately a producer. But you have to learn to mix before you produce. I saw the art of mixing a way to bring music together and be appreciated from all genres. But I knew my music and its roots and was credit being lost left and right. Innovation was appreciated but originality had gone full circle. Raving getting sold out on the art of others who weren't even around to enjoy the dance. DJ's were popping up everywhere and it hit me. Man this wasn't the right party. It was a competition for time slots and world ranks. Had music become a sport to? Disc Jockey, really was this a race as well? Maybe if they kept the MC on stage to lay down the copyrights to the next track people would have caught your next stolen sample like I did. All I'm saying is this beautiful art got ripped off by too many people. The toys were given to create your own sounds. Not to change octaves speed up the tempo and mash it up to call it your own. But I stayed reppin one producer for a reason. The guy who got the name all chics dug. Pretty Lights.  Derek Vincent Smith the kid who brought life back to Red Rocks. The most legendary amphitheater in America. Over a century of performances have been played here.  This kid knew how to play it all strings, percussion, keys and brass. But he wanted to pump up the volume too so he hit electronics and re-produced all his rooted sounds. But he brought back analog folks. In analog technology, a wave is recorded or used in its original form. So, for example, in an analog tape recorder, a signal is taken straight from the microphone and laid onto tape. Hip hop, Jazz, Soul, Rock, and House he produced them all. But he left the roots rock reggae alone except for one track for he knew its respect. He kept one mixed reggae song to lead its truth onward. Bob Marley-Exodus this was the sound of the movement of the people. Man I was getting jealous he did it right he knew the formula I was looking for too. But yes he needed the white flag to be waived. A little irony of surrender sent his way. Time to shine those lights brother.
