Podcast Vol. 15 - Disco is Beautiful by Mike Deuce & Siik

As we continue on this musical journey, the Come Up Crew continues to deliver new looks at your favorite genres.  This time around we have a real treat: arguably the smoothest members of the Crew, Mike Deuce and Siik, brought out sets close to their hearts.  Mike Deuce, modern master of old school feel good jams, delivers a disco set to keep your party moving and your feet tapping.  Not to be outdone, smooved out quiet stormer Siik brings the finest in slow jam mixes, designed to keep your afterparty in a groove.  Neither genre chosen is typical mix material, but don’t be surpised by how much this music moves you.

Podcast Vol. 14 - ATL So Well by Dumlao

Wattup Y’all!  After a short break, I’m back with another Podcast for all of y’all to indulge in.  An ode to Atlanta, this mix features ATL artists with songs that mostly don’t go past the 2000’s… I think…  Anyways, this is part of the region mix series between Spingineer and I - a follow up to his Houston mix.  I never really got into much music from the ATL other than Outkast and Goodie Mob, but after mixing this podcast, I have a very new respect for Atlanta Hip Hop. This mix is soulful and gritty, something to listen to when you’re cruising in your car, fantasizing about the Dirty South.  Hope you likes, peace =)

Podcast Vol. 13 - Yacht Rock Steady by Siik & LinoType

Right on schedule, it is yet another Come Up Podcast.  This edition features the return of Siik and LinoType on the airwaves.  Siik comes through with some 80’s electro flavor, in the Paul Hardcastle and Strafe side of things.  He also realizes there are some train wrecks in there, but felt it best to leave them in.  Lino ventures the high seas with his first yacht rock mix.  He’d be remiss without acknowledging the following influences: the highly entertaining web series on Channel 101, Yacht Rock; and an extremely helpful thread on the message boards of okayplayer.com.  Have fun with it.

Podcast Vol. 12 - H-Town Tribute by Spingineer

As told by Spingineer:

H-Town.  I don’t have any urge to ever go there but for some reason I am obsessed with the rap scene.  It’s not the usual stuff I listen to and it is in no way lyrically above the rest or even close to that but for some reason I’m in awe of the tracks that Houston artists put out.  Whether it’s music about the hood, drugs, fly honies, rims, cash, or purple syrup I can’t help but give all my attention and leave my ears wide open.  I think its the swagger that Houston artists have mixed with decent lyrics that keep them forever present in the rap game.  I have been listening to H-Town rap since I was a kid and the Geto Boys were on and since then I have never felt that the scene fell off or was performing subpar as has been the case in the Bay and even NY.  No matter how you feel about H-Town rap, as compared to other rap scenes and sub-genres, the music is great, the lyrics are catchy, the MCs tell the story well, and the tracks are consistent as hell.  Much love H-Town.
