NEW MIXTAPE: The Best of Donna Summer (R.I.P.)

DOWNLOAD THE MIXTAPE HERE. (or get the iPhone version w/ability to skip through tracks). Promo use only, not for sale.

I’m celebrating the music of another great artist – someone who inspired dance music as we’ve always known it, whether we’re talking about the sexy slower grooves, or straight up techno music. This tape doesn’t have one single scratch technique on it, but I got a pretty serious juggle in there. I turned it around in less than one day. Prepare for some disco, and if you’re not into that, go listen to the Best of the Beastie Boys. Donna just passed yesterday, and I hope I can do her music justice. Enjoy an hour of the lovely voice of Donna Summer and have a happy family day weekend.

If you’re new to what I do or haven’t heard any of the previous mixes, here’s what MTV and others said just this past week: (read more here)

“M-Rock can cleverly re-imagine the music without doing a disservice to a sacred legacy.” – MTV Hive

MTV wrote a great article on this mix for their “Mix of the Week” section, here it is. Pam Grier (actress from Foxy Brown, Koffy and Jackie Brown) tweeted the tape saying “DJ’s have a creative place in music evolution, pop cultural definitions and inspiration. Yay! Hugs.
