Diamonds In The Dust

Happy new year my friends, thanks so much to all you long-time supporters, and new visitors too. I have so much new stuff coming up for you, getting excited and crazy motivated. Stay tuned!

Here's a brand new edit, layering Late Nite Tuff Guy's Michael McDonald flip under the new Rihanna hit.

Here's a new in key blend, "quickie" not only is the instrumental used but also describes the creation of this edit. Fit so well it practically made itself....just re-arranged the beat, etc. Ne-yo - mad (b.cause quickie blend) by djbcause

I was playing around the other day and came up with this. I like it! Birdman feat drake, lil wayne - money to blow (b.cause transatlantic fix) by djbcause

Laid the A.kon vocals over a re-arranged Jacka instrumental, seems to work out pretty well... Locked Up (all over me fix)

Here's a newly finished and fun pop/rock blends project done with the always awesome Doc Delay, something we started when he kindly put me up for a few days as I was visiting New York a year ago. Check him out over here , the guy is constantly turning out cool music & great mixes. Keep in mind these are separate tracks rather than a "mixtape" format. Liner notes by Sasha Frere Jones . "New York and San Francisco meet in key to bring you the best song sandwiches both sides of the Mississippi." Jukebox Wizard (zip file) “I have no idea who this guy was. He arrived around 7:45 PM, ordered a beer, took a sip, and just sat there and let the beer turn to lawn water. That was it. He just sat and stared. He had on these dumb mirrored shades and wore a Dungaree jacket. He could have been 21, 41, I have no idea. He never talked to anyone. Everybody thought he was blind, but he never stumbled or fell or used a cane. Not in front of me at least. At some point, when nob...

Yeah, I know...another one with BK. But hey, it's Saturday! L*se My Breath (candy man edit)

I can't think of anyone that exceeds his rep so thoroughly as DJ Day. Quite simply put: dope & layered production, great ear for harmony, real nice on the keys, and one of the illest DJ's you're gonna see live ever. Not to mention the mind disintegrating live MPC performances. I hope D doesn't get pissed I keep adding the "wedding element" to his songs - last time it was Jody Watley, haha! Anyways, here's a lil' blendzor using the instrumental from his remix to the new People Under The Stairs single. Cr*zy Right Now (t.a.t.d. blend) Now go grab the new PUTS "Trippin' At The Disco" limited 12" ASAP or be sad later. Oh dag, looks like they are gone from the site already - check your local shop! To keep up on DJ Day's music, bookmark his blog over HERE .

Used a lil snippet of this indulgent blend on the Super 7 mix: Here's the 'loose' version just for fun. Love In This Club (supremes rewind)

One from a few years back, by request. I think this is such a cool picture of Ciara, recording in Atlanta, GA. Lucky google find! Goodies - (whatnauts renovation)

Ring My Bell (calle ocho version)

Hot off the press, stumbled across this idea messing around yesterday and could not resist. Soul Survivor (b.cause black superman fix)

Messing around with the Drake instrumental and came up with this blend yesterday. I really like this beat, nothing too fancy but it has a raw, ringing swing to it. Shawty Is A 1.0. (best i ever had fix)

Put this together last fall and it's surprisingly still pretty useful at times. I love the way the synths play off of Marvin's voice. Let's Get It On (live your life fix)

One from a few years back, utilizing the heavy rhythm and drums of Cookin' On 3 Burners' - "Cressy St. Breakdown". Check out and support the Australian organ trio here . E-40, Bun B, Pimp C, Juelz Santana - White Gurl (b.cause cressy funk blendit)

Blame It (b.cause what's golden edit)
