You're cordially invited to listen to this&that's; Sublimate showcase for august, 2026. A native of the Pacific Northwest, this&that is a lover of music. Appreciating that dance music evokes mostly positive emotions, this&that enjoys telling a story with some range. Considerably influenced by jazz, funk, soul, reggae, r&b, hip-hop, turntablism, meme culture, & West Coast Bass; this&that believes that the globe has a cornucopia of musical flavors to offer. "Good music is good music, it's so subjective & so universal." Searching for superb synths & sound design, this&that strives for seamlessness with a proportion of long blends, and surprising technicallity. "I want to keep myself guessing, and my auidience guessing." "let the music speak." "you never know how the puzzle will fit together." Driven by ideas, melody, lyrics, & rhythm; this&that solely wants to share that which makes you think, feel, inspires, generates the warm fuzzies; & a solid b***y shake & head nod. Hope you enjoy. Thank you for listening :)
"This mix, like many, was built around a specific blend, or mashup, combo; that I felt would fit in a specific space in the puzzle-- beginning, middle, end.-- putting the puzzle together for each space is the most fun and challenging. so many tracks from friends. allusions to history, influences, the Wu-Tang, Outkast, some of my favorite pieces of hip hop. paying homage to pioneers like SVLO, Cyberoptics, with new s**t was so fun. Contrast of old and new. Attempted some challenging technical maneuvers. Reminder to do your homework; and practice! Follow your heart. These were some of my favorite tracks recently, made me feeel something. The Jane Goodall quote. I had something to say; acknowledging self, and external emotion."
