Wildflowers an R&B Mix 

I had a really fun time making this mix.  I was super inspired by Durand Bernarr's song “Stuck” which features Ari Lennox. This track is featured first to set the scene.  I think they are two of the most important voices in R&B.  The talent and song structure, fun and wit, and incredible creativity makes them two of my favorite artists.  I started a Tidal radio station based on that song and discovered most of the gems that I dropped in this mix.  I'm more than willing to share the playlist with you as well if you'd like.  Other than that vibe out to this one, because if you're an R7B fan and fan of good smooth tunes like me you'll really be able to get into this one!

Tis the season for... CKFN  

Its getting cold outside, at least it is in my hometown of Chicago.  The drop in temp always signals the start of CKFN season.   CKFN season is the perfect time to cuddle up, or catch a vibe solo, and listen to some hot R&B classics.  I wanted to provide the soundtrack to get your season started or keep it going if its already in motion.  All you gotta do is click play!
 

 

Dinner Reservations w/ P1 All 3 Mixes in the series!  

These mixes were part of a set recorded live at Tavern on Lagrange.  I broke it down into these 3 parts based on the moving and changing vibes that are set at a night out for dinner at the venue.  Each mix has its own story and i present them to you here with all 3 parts.  Enjoy them separately or together.  If you live in the Chicagoland area be sure to check me out live at Tavern on Lagrange.  Feel free to shoot me a message and make your dinner reservations! 

Even if you don't live in the area I hope you enjoy the mixes and get to experience a bit with us even if vicariously from a distance.  Love. Thank you!  -P1

 

And now for your listening enjoyment! 

Watch as the Party Turns ALL THE WAY UP at Whiskey Barrel in Rock Falls 

I had the pleasure of rocking with DJ Gemini Jones a couple months ago at Whiskey Barrel Saloon in Rock Falls IL.  You can watch the party go from 0 to 100 real quick in this video recap of the night.  

This party took place on a Saturday night in August but I will be returning to Whisky Barrel for 2 Friday nights in a row, October 25, and November 1st.  I will be ready to try and top the energy you see here in this video on those nights so mark them in your calendar now!

Dedication and Love! (DJing on the Road...Literallly) 

A throwback video to about 3 years ago when i was literally DJing in the car while on the road touring!

I am dedicated and staying down for the music.  Thank you to everyone that is rocking with me.  New mixes on the way!!!

Make Kanye Great Again (MIX)  

Well...Kanye is a genius still. BUT I took a little journey back to when he really made us understand. He set a trend for producer rappers.

Feel free to comment and let me know your fav Old Kanye tracks that i may have missed...

Snoop Dogg Tribute Mix (SIC Sundays) 

This month at SIC Sundays we are celebrating the music of Snoop Dogg.  I must say this mix was hard simply because snoop has so much flavor and so many different styles.  it was not as hard as the 2Pac mix but definitely you know when its time to mix a legends catalog.  Its simply hard to contain an entire catalog to less than 15 minutes and be representative.  But here it is for my west coast gangsta rap and Snoop Dogg fans.  Come check out my bro DJ Kwiet Storm in his live tribute mix to snoop this sunday at our event.  Tickets available now! 

 

 

Don't Do It! (Inspired by Tell A Friend Tuesday) 

If you have watched the latest episode of Tell A Friend Tuesdays 9/5/2017 then you heard this instrumental in the background. If you haven't you can check that out on my facebook page  This joint is definitely one of the records that I am very proud of. Its features me and producer Sammy Vee doing what we do.  I think this song connects with my #TAFT message which is to Worry Less, Care More.  I talk about worrying and slipping into a bad state of mind. After realizing i was in a bad place i just said eff it lets make this work and do something bigger! My opening line goes.. I used to be an average joe, I'm not really interested in being average no more.  This reigns true for me everyday. So check out the joint let me know what you think.  Don't forget to check out my latest Tell A Friend Tuesday video on my facebook page as well. www.facebook.com/p1rap

5 Things That Piss Promoters Off 

1. Artist that don't promote!  I put you on the show, don't you want your people to know that you will be performing there as well??? Maybe maybe not but yeah if you don't promote your performance on any show you're on then you will definitely piss the promoter off!

2. People asking for information thats on the flyer! Why would i make a flyer and you see it and then you call/text/message me and ask me whats the details...bruh! I know i can't put the map in the picture but there are some words there that might contain the information that you are asking me to send you.  Make it easy on me and you don't piss me off by asking me this...even though ill probably tell you grudgingly. I Thank you in advance for your cooperation. 

3. Texting me on the day of the show telling me you're not coming... OKAY *Jay-Z Voice*  I can't do anything about that. I'll miss you I guess. I still have other people to entertain ill see you next time! 

4. Artists showing up late/no showing...WHY would you do this?  You know I'm going to tell every other promoter I know that you did this and your reputation will be impacted. Unless you don't give af. So yeah show up, and show up on time and lets get the show crackin!

5.  People that are not on the list that ask the door person to come get me!  Fam just spend the bread support the establishment and the business and  the scene that many people have worked very hard to create.  I'm going to tell you that at the door anyway, and I'm already dealing with 74 other pressing issues during the show so spare me on the you don't have your wallet move. Plus my door person likes to collect money make her job easier! Its the only considerate thing to do.

DPMO Don't Piss Me Off

 

 

I could put more things on this list but these 5 really piss me off...so with that said I hope to see you August 20th at SIC Sundays 2 Year Anniversary. All will be forgiven if you show up to our special celebration! Info is on the flyer lol
