📺 All That & Classic R&B: A Live Session + Big Youth Summer Camp News! 🎧
Stream 60 minutes of pure childhood nostalgia and get a first look at our upcoming Summer Kids Program.
Hey Familia,
THE THROWBACK MOMENT: 90s & Classic R&B Live Practice
This 60-minute live set is a celebration of soul across eras and a direct ode to my childhood. We cruise through an incredibly smooth 93–100 BPM range, kicking things off with the ultimate 90s core memory, the All That theme song. before sliding into raw funk, 70s samples, and early 2000s bangers.
It is multi-generational comfort music at its finest. You’ll hear timeless vocals from Brandy, SWV, TLC, Usher, and Jill Scott blended seamlessly with the modern textures of Summer Walker, Khalid, and October London, with pristine edits by DJ Eski, DJU, and Esentrik.
