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!

KEVIN ROSS BIO: 

Music has always been a passion for Washington, D.C. native, Kevin Ross. He attended a performing arts high school and went on to earn a degree from Berklee College of Music. His career began as a songwriter, getting his first placement with Jamie Foxx, which was followed by Ross writing and producing songs for such artists as Trey Songz, Toni Braxton, & Tank. 

In 2017 Kevin released his long-awaited debut full length album, The Awakening. The album’s first single, “Long Song Away” peaked at #1 on Billboard's Adult R&B Song chart and at Urban Contemporary Radio with the follow up single, “Don’t Go”, cracking the Top 15. The chart-topping success of The Awakening led to Ross receiving several award nominations: Best New Artist (Soul Train Awards), Outstanding New Artist (NAACP Image Awards), and New R&B Artist (iHeart Radio Awards). 

Ross continues to make a significant mark on the contemporary music scene as he kicked off 2020 debuting at #3 on iTunes R&B Albums chart with Audacity Vol 1. “Thing Called Love,” the EP’s lead single, entered the Top 20 on Billboard’s Adult R&B Songs chart and was named the top song at Sirius XM’s Heart and Soul. The success of Audacity led Ross to be named the R&B Artist of the Year at the 2021 Wammie Awards. Ross' current project "Drive 2" debuted at #1 on iTunes R&B album chart with the lead single "Looking For Love" cracking the Top 10 on Billboard's Adult R&B Radio Play chart.

The Wedding DJs Wedding DJ! 

Last year, I had the honor and privilege of djing my brother Blk Soldier's wedding!  As a DJ, its still hard to imagine what its like to pick a wedding DJ. I know you can imagine that it was a really good feeling to not only be considered, but ultimately get to play at a DJs wedding.  When I tell you we had a ball, believe me.   The day was beautiful the couple was ready and the friends and family gathered were extremely excited to be there.  I was able to curate the playlist from the ceremony from inside thanks to the wireless setup.  It worked flawlessly.  Then we brought the party indoors and it was hard to contain all the good energy inside those four walls at Lake Katherine.  Overall I'm grateful to my brother for the call to duty.  I suggest checking him and his business out and reaching out to either/both of us for your next event!  Check out some highlights of the Franklin's wedding in the video below. 

 

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! 

We Love Music Wednesdays Mix 

Happy New Year everyone!  The year has been off to an interesting start so far.  I've been pretty active with DJ gigs and even had a couple interviews and performances and sound gigs sprinkled in as well.  One of the exciting projects that I am apart of at the moment is We Love Music Wednesdays.  It features the DJ group CSK1. CSK1 is composed of yours truly DJ Sik Wit It and DJ Kwiet Storm.  Every wednesday night we hop on twitch and take an hour each rocking out to a selected theme or just going in.  This past week the show was title Chifecta, which consisted of three genres of chicago music.  We chose Steppers, Juke (Ghetto House) and of course House Music!  I am late to the streaming to twitch party but i'm diving in heads first and if you want to join me on twitch come on over and visit me there.  

 

Here is the audio of my juke set from the Chifecta set!  Stream it here or on mixcloud!

 

 

I have something i think is pretty cool planned for next week for We Love Music Wednesdays so join me next Wednesdsay night 9PM CST.  

 

 

Ready 2 Sweat: Pt. 2 Revenge Body 

I once heard a quote that goes something like, prepare for the winter all summer and prepare for the summer all winter. I always tell people that I have my beach body in January.  Normally I do so when I travel I'm ready! Well like a lot of people the Covid hit me hard and i let myself go a little bit...I gained some pounds and lost some friends, but now I'm looking for REVENGE! I made this mix with my revenge body in mind.  I'll be going hard in the gym and hope you are inspired to do the same.  Even if its not for the gym its still a good mix to get amped up to! 

 

Check out Ready 2 Sweat Pt. 2: Revenge Body now streaming right here and on my mixcloud! (Hear Pt. 1 the international version on mixcloud as well) 

If you want some custom mixes or need that DJ Khalid type motivation to go along with your mixes hit me up I can get you right with a custom version specifically for your workout!!

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 do it for the love of the music.  Still do, no matter if i charge $50 or $5000 I'm still rocking with love and passion for the music. I am dedicated and staying down for the music.  Thank you to everyone that is rocking with me.  New mixes on the way!!!

 

 

 

 

Music Monday 10/22/18! (Last Month's BDay Mix) 

I was vibing out today to the mix I did for O4TR radio on my bday and decided to go ahead and upload it.  I'll start posting up replays from the show and the mixes in the upcoming months.  For now though check out this mix. For this one I decided to feature snippets from my homie Legend's mixtape "Perspectives" which was hosted by my good friend DJ Que Eleven.  And of course i had to give a little bday tribute to myself at the end. So check it out and stayed tuned for new P1 music coming soon!!! 

 

 

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. I was listening back and all i could think of when putting these old Kanye joints together was that we need to Make Kanye Great Again. Take a minute to listen, share if you dig it. Feel free to comment and let me know your fav Old Kanye tracks that i may have missed...
