Mix 08 – More Uptempo

In addition to DJing, in the last year or so, I’ve really gotten into sneakers as well. The two seem to be intersecting. When I got sick I named the mix ‘Flu Game’, referencing Michael Jordan’s amazing performance in the NBA finals with a flu, which is used as the nickname of the Air Jordan 12 black and red shoes he was wearing. I seem to keep making mixes that are under 5 minutes, which will MixCloud will reject from uploading out of fear of it just being a single that you are trying to share illegally. So one day, I’ll probably name one of these the ‘Banned’ mix referencing the black and red Air Jordan 1’s that were considered banned after Jordan/Nike got a letter from the NBA that the black and red shoes he was wearing (actually a pair of Nike Airships) violated the uniform code (I think the black and red colorway need to have some white in it). I told you I was into sneakers.

I wanted to make this mix a little more upbeat, or should I say, ‘More Uptempo’ 🙂

Ironically, the two ‘Most Uptempo’ tracks were a little too fast for the mix, so I cut them.  At a consistent 125 bpm, there is a good flow to it, but it is a bit loungey.

Enjoy!
