The name of this mix is a bit of a double entendre. I did buy a car last weekend (with no co-signer 🙂 ). Yay!
The second is a reference to a quote from Eric Thomas. In one of his speeches, he states, ‘I don’t need anybody to co-sign my dreams’. It was a good reminder that, when going after my goals, I own them. Supporters are nice, but not mandatory. I don’t need anyone’s approval or permission. Go get it!
This mix has a few subtle evolutions to my approach. I need to ad-lib and tweak a lot during the transitions to get the levels right. For the first time, I actually boosted the mid to 200% to get Lil Uzi Vert’s vocals to overpower A Little Party. I’m not sure if I have beat jumped before, but it definitely was the first time I used a release effect to enhance it. Finest Hour mixes in towards the end of the track. When I hit the outro, I do a quick reverb before jumping the start of the track; only to play all the way back to where I mixed in (kinda like Pulp Fiction).
Enjoy!
