ScissorMix 15: Oldish

May 25th, 2018 Beats, Disco, Folk/Acoustic, Instrumental, Jazz, Psychedelic, Schmaltz, ScissorMix, Soul jz 1 min read

As the title implies, this is a bit of a different type of mix than previous ones. Every track is over 35 years old. Ok, 2 are relatively recent. But they lean heavily on some old samples. Despite its oldness, I think this mix fits into the same vibe as some of the other stuff that’s been put on here. They’re chock-full of big beats…

ScissorMix 14: Warm Waves

Jul 15th, 2015 Ambient, Chillwave, Indie, Indie Dance, ScissorMix steve 1 min read

My friend asked me to throw together some new music for an event she was having and this is the result. A mix of modern easy listening that sits within its own little nook nestled somewhere between Indie, Electronic and Dance.

ScissorMix Vol. 12: Robot Barbecue

Jun 24th, 2013 IDM, Indie Dance, ScissorMix steve 1 min read

This ScissorMix hits on a ton of different electronic notes, but stays in that sweet 115 to 125 BPM range, keeping things moving along with a nice pace. As usually, melody is the star here, and there’s no lack of bigness with the likes of amazing tracks from DJ Koze, Osborne, Disclosure, Classixx, Bonobo, Baths and the like. A ton of usual SK people on this mix and a few things that may have eluded your radar thus far.

ScissorMix Vol. 11: Summer Break

Jul 6th, 2012 ScissorMix jz 1 min read

But better late than never, right? This mix is pretty much all hip hop, reggae, soul edits, afrofunk and other goodness that sounds great coming out of a boombox. Lots of familiar tracks in new packaging. It’s the soundtrack to the BBQ I haven’t had a chance to attend. So get out there, cook some meats, drink some beers, and pump these tunes for me.
