Here’s a fun back-to-back set with Groove Thang host, DJRS3 from Chicago, showcasing some of our Transformers collection while DJing. Originally we were planning to do an all vinyl R&B/Soul set, but I think the conversation eventually evolved into a Transformers show haha. I forget how fun photoshop can be for making stream overlays, it…

Original Videorat, J Benitez, and Booosjam host a weekly raid event called Funky Tuesdays. Branching off from the Raid Among Friends crew but focusing on any genre with hints of funk.

Was too busy during the past month to fit in my weekly streams, so I had to take a break. Felt good to finally play again. All Busta Rhymes for this one. He has so many hits and bangers from his early days of Leaders Of The New School, solo albums, to countless collabs with…

Did a set for Chicago’s Balut Social Club DJ’s, raid event, called Groove Thang: All-Vinyl DJ Showcase. Big thanks to RS3 and Seymo for having me! Went the open format route for this one and just played whatever I was feeling in the moment. Had a few record skip moments during some juggle attempts, but…

Just another night of randomness. Jumped around different genres, music videos, 80’s soundtracks, Carlton dance friendly tunes and and accidentally got trapped in the speed force. Thank you to everyone who tuned in to enjoy some music with me. Big shoutout to original_videorat and snorlocks for always helping me mod the chat. I super appreciate…

Tonight’s stream featured Halloween related vibes starting off with Mndsgn’s “Deviled Eggs” to warm up and set the tone. You’ll hear a few familiar movie soundtrack cuts from Ghostbusters to Teen Wolf. Expect some usual music video hits such as Michael Jackson’s “Ghost” and Backstreet Boys “Everybody” to Hip‑Hop Halloween classics like Geto Boys “My…

One of the things I like about doing the MVMST5k streams is that I also get to enjoy watching the music videos with you all. I’ve always been intrigued by music videos that feature all animated, cg, or puppets/animatronics. The amount of time it takes to produce these have a different kind of effort and…

Everything Boom Bap Hip‑Hop. From East to West Coast classic and 2000’s to now. Steady 90’s range BPMs for the chill and headnod type of grooves. Had to cancel last week’s streams due to my schedule, but felt good to just play again. I’m starting to export these video sets to 720p for the website,…

This episode features an all MJ music video tribute. Tried my best to stick to only playing songs that had an official music video or performance recording, but his discography has so many great songs, there were some that I just couldn’t leave out, so I just used some video loops as an added visual…

An all Prince music videos tribute, including a few related artists he’s produced for, written songs, collaborated with etc. Prince is definitely one of the greatest of all time, and I feel like there will never be another, atleast in my lifetime. Happy Birthday, Prince! Disabled a few of the channel rewards for tonight and…

Recorded from my live stream but this is just the section where I’m not using the mic, tailored for background music video visuals. Warming up with some Daft Punk during the request window. A little tribute to Prince Markie Dee (RIP) to start with a dash of some 90’s Hip-Hop and New Jack Swing. Can…

Since COVID started, I’ve been fiddling around with different streaming platforms to play out music. Everything being online seems more reliant on visuals so I’m currently trying Serato Video, and it’s pretty fun to use. Kind of like mixing and video editing live (but using turntables to control the videos). Doing these sets live on…

I still remember getting doubles of Callin’ Out 12”’s during the days of Hot Buttered Soul Sundays at the Cardiff Lounge. I never thought I’d one day meet Lyrics Born years and years later and even be in a music video for the same song, with my GroovMekanex brother, the funky Jaypee Diaz. It was…

Had a great time performing at Body Rock 2017: Homecoming in San Diego a few weeks ago. The road trip was a fun one getting to perform with my DS Players brothers, Ceech and Shy Guy. It’s been 10 years since we’ve been to the event after winning 1st place back in ’07. Big shout…
