BushwickDaily.com presents “jojo‘s Mixtape- Sounds of Reggae: Past and Present” Happy 420 folks! These selections range from roots-reggae to dancehall to hip-hop, with a quick track from the 1940’s at the beginning.  The upbeat-rocking fundamental to reggae music is a well-suited template for meditation and medication, sometimes driving, sometimes laid-back.  The use of effects and […]

jojo‘s Mixtape- Drum Along! This week’s mix contains African tracks, selected for their captivating groove and rhythm elements.  I drum along to these tracks to practice djembe, sing along, and dance around.  The key ingredient is the pulsing repetition that draws us to move or express, the patterns we hear that repeat and invite us […]

  This week’s mixtape is focused on Emotional Depth.  These 20 tracks are personal favorites that I’ve assembled to share a more intimate scope of my own tastes beyond the dancefloor.  I have cried, reflected, sang along, and sat alone to these tracks, and their impact grows as time goes on.  Some I have heard […]

This week’s mixtape is inspired by BushwickGallery‘s recent offline opening, Mushroom Universe.  When I was asked to put together 90’s music for the evening, I was truly ecstatic!  As any DJ finds, so much effort is spent gigging and spinning music for the crowd’s tastes, yet perhaps not always so favorable to one’s own palette.  Thankfully, […]
