netmix-global-house-sessions-itunesAfter a few starts and stops, I’ve finally gotten around to finishing up my latest 3-hour mix show. Things have been hectic over the last few months and I just didn’t have the time to focus on it. But, it’s finally done!

I love the 3-hour format, because you can really stretch out and program a variety of tunes into the set. So, download to your desktop and transfer to your portable device, or simply just listen to it here.

I’ve also provided links to download each individual track from Beatport.com when available [UPDATE – June 6, 2012 – Beatport’s affilate program with Linkshare is no longer active and the links have been removed]. I know I was hard on Beatport in the past, but the service finally got around to building out a text linking program through their partnerships with Linkshare, an affiliate network that provides companies with the tools to build out affiliate programs. I found most of the tracks, but there were a few I couldn’t track down. It might be because they are new and haven’t pushed an update to Linkshare yet. Beatport have also created an API through LinkShare, which I hope to use in the future. But for now, we’ll just keep it simple.

Would love to know what you think, so please come back and post your comments. Enjoy!

Lupe Fiasco

This posting isn't meant to be timely in any way, shape or form. I'm not late on Lupe, I was just thinking and felt like writing about how I see a guy like Lupe Fiasco changing the game. Changing the face of hip hop. I don't remember what day it was. It was probably sometime in the early the summer. I was on the living room couch, MacBook Pro propped on my lap, answering work emails and checking my Facebook. The television was on.
