MISHKA presents Keep Watch Vol. XXIII – ME! // New Mix

Posted on by

When Mishka tapped me to be Vol. XXIII of their prestigious Keep Watch mix series, I tapped them back in an accepting manner because I’m a gentleman who believes in Hammurabi’s Code. Past artists in the series have included Major Lazer, Skream, Rusko, Crookers, 12th Planet, Congorock, Craze, Klever, and more, so I knew I couldn’t just twiddle my fingers on this one. I had to spend my time instead making a good mix.

Here’s my official statement on the end result: “”No crazy concept here (my sounds of the sea compilation will have to wait). I simply wanted to feature a bunch of tracks I’m feeling right now, and put them together in an interesting, scratch-happy way. Some of the tunes are old, some are recent, some are unreleased, some are so new Kanye don’t even know about ‘em. One of them actually is Kanye. In any case, the listener will experience an eclectic array of mostly dubstep and grime. There will be twists, there will be turns, and of course, there will be scratching.”

Once again, I’m going to have my cake and eat it too.  But wait, does this expression make any sense?  Is there ever a situation in which a person would have cake and not eat it?

2010 Top 10* // Tunes, Big

*10 means 25.  Often in life, we are confronted with tough choices.  Coke or Pepsi?  Rubben Studdard or Clay Aiken?  To be or not to be?  Deal or no deal?  In each of these pickles, we also have another choice, namely whether or not we are indeed going to make a choice.  Making decisions takes guts, intestinal fortitude, and moxy.  Avoiding decisions requires cowardice, spinelessness, and anti-moxy.

I am here to tell you my intestines are filled with anti-moxy.  I am not going to rank my 10 favorite tracks of the year, nay I couldn’t even narrow it down to 10.  I am going to list my 25 top tunes…I’m sorry, dear reader…I feel ashamed…oh, the horror!…alphabetically…please forgive me!  I’m drinking a cup of 50% Coke 50% Pepsi.  I am voting for a genetically engineered synthesis of Ruben & Clay.  I am both being and not being simultaneously.  I am making a deal not to make a deal.
