If you give, it will always come back and when it doesn’t you don’t need it.Īt this time on Mixcloud, they had what they called genre ‘Ambassadors’ and I wanted so bad to become a Jazz Ambassador but first had to build a following of 500 and average 250 listens per mix. I still pretty much say yes to all requests for mixes, as I want to support what people are doing and to be honest, I like the recognition it brings for what I do.

This led to many of them asking to collaborate, or asking for me to provide a mix as part of a mix series they were doing or their radio shows. In turn these people supported me and listened to my mixes and encouraged me with feedback. Mixcloud is a community and through these comments, I made so many great connections, many of which are good friends today. I still do this to this day, I always leave a comment on a mix I listen to, I thank those who repost with a private message and I let the DJs know how their mix made me feel. I have always been known as a Funk/Hip Hop/Soul DJ but I’m also a deep lover of Jazz in all its forms, trip hop, jazzy hip hop, Afro, Reggae and Latin sounds.īefore I even started uploading sets myself I sought out and listened to other DJs that were posting mixes in the genres that I loved and looked at how they presented their sets, their tags and their descriptions. I also wanted to use it as an avenue to put sets together that featured music that I loved that I didn’t get to play out as a working DJ. I also decided to approach it much more professionally and I looked at how the site worked especially with tags, charts, genres and what was popular. So I guess someone suggested it to me or I stumbled across it in my hunt for an alternative. Mixcloud for me came about as I was getting my mixes thrown off Soundcloud for copyright violations and I was super disappointed as I’d built a good audience there and had a lot of mixes that had done well. It set me on the path to which I find myself still adhering to 8 years later and that is to drop a weekly mix/radio show, at the same time every week, except for holidays, sickness and breaks and if we add that up I should have released 416 shows in that time, so I’m 84 shows ahead!!
