This is the first half of a super limited edition 2 cd mix I put together circa 2010, consisting of songs from "The Artist", friends and colleagues he worked with over the years. Physical copies of the full mix were briefly made available exclusively at Turntable Lab LA, Street Sounds (both in Los Angeles), Amoeba Music, and shows I was performing at, while supplies lasted. As expected, they were scooped up pretty much instantly, and for obvious reasons will never see print again. The cover photo was provided by Troy Gua, of "Le Petit You-Know-Who" fame. The fine folks at URB MAGAZINE gave the mix a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Live at the Do-Over - Mixed by DJ Jedi (7/19/09)
Since the Do-Over doesn't post their mixes anymore, here is a high quality Do-Over mix from 2009. Jedi's description of the mix below.
The Do-Over was established in the summer of 2005 as a free weekly outdoor Sunday jammy jam complete with booze & barbecue that went down all day long in the heart of Hollywood, California. Hosted by Jamie Strong, Chris Haycock, & Aloe Blacc, each installment featured a laundry list of superstar mystery guest DJs rockin' the sunny jams & classic tunes you grew up with, plus whatever other insanity that might come out of the speakers.
The Do-Over has since grown into an international phenomenon, with satellite installments popping up everywhere from New York to London to Oslo, and everywhere in between. The party is now world-renown for showcasing everyone's favorite DJs and their favorite DJs.
On this particular Sunday in July of 2009, I was part of a jam-packed line-up that included fellow Rootdown family Wyatt Case, Inka One of Boombox fame, and Spinderella. Yeah THAT Spinderella...
You'll find everything and the kitchen sink in this set. Over the course of an hour, you'll hear me rockin' everything from Dilla to Ice Cube to classic boogie funk. I also somehow managed to cram some New Jack Swing and Brazilian treats in there too. Somehow it all works out.
Regular master of ceremonies Aloe Blacc was out of town that day. But big shout to LA legend Medusa and the multi-talented Jneiro Jarel, who more than capably held down the crowd motivation duties in Aloe's absence.
Enjoy!
Blowout Breaks - Mixed by DJ Jedi
Another re-up for your re-listening pleasure. I wouldn't say that this mix was slept-on, but I will say that this mix is so good that it deserves another listen by those of you who don't have it in steady rotation.Here's the review written by Fader magazine:
"Nineties jazz cats Digable Planets are a natural selection for a "these are the breaks" collection, and here DJ Jedi lets it all bang out with over 70 minutes of the group's sample sources. Southern California's Jedi served as the tour DJ when the Digs recently reunited and he nonchalantly cuts their building blocks together. If the Digable Planets are meant for the sunset hours and Butterfly's soul-rock Cherrywine project is for the blurry past-midnight, then Blowout Breaks for breakfast will get you right for the rest of day. Hearing Shuggie Otis's "Island Letter" slip into Skull Snaps' "It's A New Day" is even better than eggs and facon on an English muffin with green hot sauce."
