Jazzy Jeff on Future Flavas

Jazzy Jeff live on Marley Marl's Future Flavas show when it was broadcasting on Power 105.

DJ Hero presents DJ Jazzy Jeff. Going back to a previous post, I think the video game DJ Hero will be success which further propels the art of DJing into the mainstream. I don't expect to buy a game console just to be a digital DJ Hero but I would be willing to rent the game and play it on someone elses console.

To be frank; I have low expectations of the game because I can't see how three buttons on a digital turntable can compare to the real touch of spinning vinyl. I hope to be surprised though.

Today's mantra; make it count!

My 29th birthday was a couple days ago so you'll have to excuse me for getting 'deep' on you.

Let me remind you- there are 365 days in a year, in 10 years there are roughly 3,650 days and in 100 years (far beyond the average lifespan) there are roughly 36,500 days. Doesn't seem like a very long time- because - it's not! My message get out there and do something with your precious time.

Shall the enclosed mix motivate you to do one thing each day that makes the day count. Today, mine was producing this mix. What's on this mix you ask?


Today's mix starts off with some chill house then crescendos into a selection of some of my favorite old school rhythm and blues and hip-hop beats. Then finishes with a sweet cherry; one final feel good house track. Enjoy!

Pay Day

Pay day was today! Thanks god. What better than to enjoy a new cash infusion with an old throw-back jam. Click to hear Johnny Kemp - Just Got Paid.
Short posts are fun too. No?

DJ Marc Elias :: Tribute To Grandmaster Flash

Thanks for tuning in!

Right now I am coming off this amazing high from this memoir I read - The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash: My Life, My Beats about Grandmaster Flash.

After finishing the book (in under a week) - mind you I never finish books in one week. I had to get on the decks and celebrate the "scratch" with some of my favorite old school jams.

While I am refining my skills and enjoying the art of scratching and cuing I would love to hear from you. Were you feeling this mix? What didn't you like?

Leave your comments on the blog http://marcelias.blogspot.com and receive a shot-out on the next mix tape. I hope you continue returning to the Everlasting DJ's and certainly if you dig this blog please share it with your friends.

Regards and best wishes,
Marc Elias

PS - You can view the first half of the mix being created at Youtube.
