R.I.P. K-Swift

K-Swift R.I.P.I’m getting ready to head out to Baltimore tomorrow for a visit with my man Gregzinho (of Beat Diaspora fame) before my gig in Silver Spring, MD on Friday night. I normally couldn’t be around B’more without ruminating on that city’s club music which has been such an influence.

Now I won’t be able to be there without thinking of B’more’s club queen, DJ K-Swift. She died Monday after a swimming pool accident and the Baltimore club scene is reeling. She’s been a mainstay in the the scene since the early days, and for the past 10 years had been spreading the B’more gospel as a high profile radio personality on Baltimore’s Q92 station.

As a female DJ, K-Swift was rare in the male-dominated scene she loved. She took club music’s raw and raunchy attitude by the horns and worked it. In honor of her life, I’ve made this little remix using an acapella from one her Club Queen albums. Club on, queen!

Beat Research Lab

Published by DJ C on July 14, 2008 in Events, Free Tunes, Mashups / Remixes, Podcast and Reviews. 0 Comments, Please Leave One

Beat Research Lab CD CoverI’ll be heading out for a little tour on the East Coast later this week which will eventually wind up at my old haunt, Beat Research at the Enormous Room in Cambridge, MA. Can’t wait to get back on the decks there with fellow riddim methodists DJ Flack and Wayne&Wax!

For the past few years DJ Flack has been teaching a companion course to the weekly party, also called Beat Research. This year he worked with his advanced Beat Research students to put together a compilation of some of their best work and the outcome is a free CD and download album entitled The Petri Disc Vol. 1.

One of my favorite tracks on the comp is DJ Fraze One’s “Dub” remix of Rick Ross’ Everyday I’m Hustlin’:

Since You’ve Been In This Club Again

DJ C; Since You’ve Been In This Club (Kelly Clarkson Vocal Mix) ->

Usher Makes Love in the ClubAfter I posted Since You’ve Been In This Club — my remix of Usher’s Love In This Club and Sasha Frere-Jones singing Kelly Clarkson’s Since You’ve Been Gone — I got a comment from Refusenik asking if I could post the instrumental, or perhaps a version with Kelly Clarkson’s original vocals on it. So I messed around with Clarkson’s vocals and came up with an interesting, but by all accounts annoying (the vocals are way pitched-up) mix, in addition to a dub/instrumental version. Give ‘em both a listen above.

DJ Intel

Here’s another in our continuing series of summertime ‘08 mixes to bump at your next sublime experience.

I had been noticing DJ Intel’s name on flyers all over Chicago recently, but hadn’t had a chance to hear what he was up to until we rocked a party together a few weeks ago. His set was so dope! This mix is also dope; kind of epic in fact! It’s not about beat-matching and blends per se, but instead about moods and magic:

Ghostbeard “Not a Latest Dance Craze”

Ghostbeard; Not A Latest Dance Craze ->

GhostbeardSummer’s just about here and that means it’s time for a sweet, waist-winding dancehall mix. Montreal’s DJ Ghostbeard (AKA Jeff Waye, the guy who runs Ninja Tune’s North American office) just happened to drop such a mix on me recently and I feel it’s only right to share.

Ghostbeard’s like the only dude in the world who doesn’t have a Myspace page (at least that I can find) but this article sheds a small amount of light on the shadowy character. Anyway, it’s probably best to let the mix speak for itself:
