DJ Eli Escobar

I thought about posting an old school album once a week, but in the wise words of Mastah Clay, "You will run out." I concur with that apt statement, so I guess I am going to spread my releases out a little bit, but in the meantime I will give you guys some of the work of one of my favorite DJs, and a musical inspiration to me, DJ Eli Escobar. His blog outsidebroadcast, which I have mentioned many times on this online tome, is outstanding in my book. He has a really intersting taste in music that is not really getting a lot of attention lately. He has also gotten me really into listening to long mixes done by DJs. These 45 minute to hour-and-a-half sets are great for bus rides, train rides, and booty rides, but you have to trust the DJ who is putting it together, and in this case, I feel comfortable putting my ears in Eli's hands. His combination of current electronic music as well as an infusion of disco house, house, old school hip hop, and 80s rap is the perfect combination for my listening tastes (and maybe yours?). One of his specific mixes that has caught my ear lately is his We Make It Good (Homeless Mix). Give it a listen next time you want to listen to music for an extended period of time but don't want to change the channel, and believe me, you won't want to. It is basically like having a really sick DJ setting his turntables up in your ear cartilage. Dig it. Also, check out his Early Mix (Part A--Part B is missing) [Check his post for the tracklist (about a quarter of the way down the page)], which features a ton of great old school rap. He says it isnt a great mix, but it has some great rap on it. A live show. If ya'll want more, check out his blog for the oldest and the latest. This was a particularly good month of posts. Peace.
