Has it really been two months already since the release of Palette One? Man, time flies! Well, with springtime in full effect and summer just on the horizon, there is no better time than now to give you all the second installment of the Palette mix series.

For the past year, I’ve found myself including more and more tracks into my DJ sets that all carry a specific organic, live sound. I guess, in a way, I just find myself able to enjoy dance music more when I can imagine it being performed by a band. So I’ve decided to make this concept the main focus for Palette Two; I have strung together 13 tracks that I found that all share a similar organic, fun vibe. I also made sure to program some, in my opinion, classic tracks alongside some transitions I’ve been playing live for the past couple months.

You will also see is that I’ve included two new Kid Color remixes! For about the past two years, I’ve been fine tuning my production skills with the goal of eventually releasing remixes & originals – and the day has come! I’m very happy to present you all with these two new remixes of mine with the promise that there will be more on the way very soon!

I really hope you all enjoy both Palette Two along with my new remixes! Oh, and early warning, Palette Three is coming out in June!

It’s almost been two years since I released Carded & DisCarded. Although that is a very long time period, I do feel that it’s safe to say both my style of DJing and taste in music have developed since then. I don’t mean to discredit Carded & DisCarded at all, by any means, but over this time I have had the chance to explore new concepts and styles of mixing that I discovered to be more beneficial when incorporated into my DJ sets. With these changes occurring over he past two years, I’ve come up with an idea that has finally taken form – I’m happy to announce my new bimonthly mix series; Palette.

The concept behind the series is that for the next 6 months, I will hand pick and craft a mix for your listening pleasure. I decided to kick off the Palette series with a program of songs that all mean a lot to me. Not to mention, I also decided to throw in a few of my favorite transitions that I’ve enjoyed playing live at most of my shows over the past couple of months. I may not be able to promise that you’ll enjoy every mix in the series, but I can promise that I’ll work hard to make it interesting for you all.

I really hope you all enjoy this months mix and look forward to Palette Two in early April!

1. The Salsoul Orchestra – Salsoul 3001 (Intro) / Faze Action – I Wanna Dancer (Disco Rock Dub Mix)
