THE DROP: My First Official Edit Is Live + Pull Up to Marquette Park Today! 🔥🤸🏽♀️
A nostalgic 72 BPM K.R.I.T. x David Banner blend, a massive community block party, and Music At The Intersection weekend guidelines.
Hey Familia,
Today is a milestone day. For years, I have been blending records behind the decks, but I’ve finally stepped into the studio to create my own music. Today, I am officially sharing my first-ever custom edit with the world!
This track is a direct reflection of my roots. Being from The Bay, riding music is in my DNA. But I’ve always had a massive love for the deep Southside, the heavy Southern beats, the cadences, and the raw lyricism.
I decided to blend Big K.R.I.T.’s “Glorious” with David Banner’s classic “Like A Pimp” into a smooth, easy-going 72 BPM lane. It is pure nostalgia, taking me straight back to high school. After receiving so much love and requests for the full file on Threads, it’s officially yours. Whether you are a working DJ looking for a clean transition tool or just want something to blast in your car, add this to your rotation.

✨ Today from 3-7 PM: Community Block Party at Marquette Park!
The energy doesn’t stop in the digital studio. Right after you download the track, I want to see you outside in the community.

🎺 Weekend Vibrations: Music At The Intersection
This is one of the greatest music weekends of the year in St. Louis! I will be fully immersed in the Music At The Intersection festival all weekend long, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Tonight, the legendary DJ extraordinaire Natasha Diggs is commanding the stage, and you already know I will be front and center dancing. Consider this your sign to grab your festival passes, come out, support local culture, and dance your heart out with me all weekend!
For Brands, Curators, & Visionaries
Whether I am dropping custom edits on SoundCloud, rocking a community park stage for youth organizations, or sound-designing a private lifestyle space, my goal is always to showcase premium taste and curation range.
If your business, festival, or organization is looking for a multi-faceted event curator and DJ who understands how to merge culture with high-level event coordination, let’s talk.
Every activation we build together directly funds our community hub, The Pachamama Shift Foundation (a registered 501(c)3 family and youth arts foundation), where we provide the next generation of St. Louis youth with the turntables, equipment, and technical mentorship they need to become future creators.
Check out the portfolio, stream the new edit, and let’s link up at the festival!
Stay Blessed,
DJ AO Anna Ortiz-Aragon, founder of Align With Anna®️
