📻 High School Anthems + New Swag: Your Holiday Cookout Soundtrack 🎧
Bringing back the epic millennial club days (From 80 to 131 BPM).
Hey Familia,
While I don’t personally celebrate today’s holiday, I know many of you have the day off. The grills are lit, the pools are finally open, and we are officially sliding into the very first week of summer. 🥳☀️
On days like this, music shouldn’t just be background noise. It should be a time machine.
As an event curator, I love showcasing radical range, showing how we can honor our roots while stepping into our future. Today, I’m dropping a brand-new 35-minute live freestyle set that is a love letter to our generation.
THE MILLENNIAL CLUB ERA: Live Freestyle
This mix is for the millennials. The ones who remember exactly where they were when Rich Boy’s Throw Some D’s or Nina Sky’s Move Ya Body hit the speakers.
But we aren’t just looking backward. I took our favorite high school anthems, from Kanye, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, Don Omar, Pitbull, and Missy Elliott, and remixed them with fresh Latin, Afrobeats, and House edits from heavy-hitting producers like Austin Millz, Dozarm, and MarkCutz.
The tempo mimics the perfect day-party flow: starting at a laid-back, conversational 80 BPM and ramping all the way up to a high-energy 131 BPM peak.
