Another milestone looking back at my 20 years as a DJ and something I’m proud of is winning the Wax Poetics x Polaroid DJ-mix competition From The Pages back in 2023.
The theme was Soul Searching, so I went into my loungey mode and put together a live-mix using a mixture of Serato vinyl and real vinyl, as I felt a lot of the thing I wanted to play, I didn’t have on vinyl.
The mix contains 28 tracks from artists like Kali Uchis, douniah, Adi Oasis, Arlo Parks, Ju Kaia, Jorja Smith, KAYTRANADA, Thundercat, Childish Gambino, Alannah Chapman, Cookin Soul, Wale The Sage, Oddisee and more.
As you can guess from that, my focus in the mix was modern / nu soul and instrumental beats and trying to set a certain mood for an hour straight.
The mix was put on Wax Poetics’ SoundCloud page and played on Polaroid Radio as well. It includes an introduction to the mix by a very tired me, as I had done the mix just before the deadline.
Later I released the mix on limited official Wax Poetics cassette tapes. I also won a Polaroid camera that I have used for some dope press photos.
I will put the link to the mix in my stories.
