🎚️ Lounge Frequency: volume 1

Posted a new 🎚️ DJ Mix this morning. You can find it on Mixcloud

It’s a smooth but funky 90 minute mix that I’m calling “Lounge frequency: Volume 1”.

If you like Disco, Soul, House, and smooth blends, you’ll probably like this. Please give it a listen and email on ben@benx10.com or hit me up on the Facebook page to let me know what you think!  🎶🎧🎛️

🎚️ The 10x Summer Sampler: Volume 1

My new mix “The 10X Summer Sampler: volume 1” has just dropped on Mixcloud. You can listen to it here. 🎧🎶

This is the first release in the ☀️ Summer Sampler series. There isn't really a grand plan behind the series other than to release one every Summer; it's just a chance to get some cool mixes and tracks out there, mainly inspired by the kind of stuff I find myself mixing in the summer months. There are elements of house, disco, pop and R&B all in the mix to make a blend that's hopefully just as much fun whether you're in the car, getting ready for a night out, or pegging the washing on the line.

I’ll probably be putting out a bunch of different styles of mix in the coming months. Just off the top of my head, I’m thinking about a purely R&B-themed mix, Dance/EDM, Neo Soul, and maybe even a Hip-Hop classics set. If there’s anything in particular that you’d like to hear more of, let me know!!

By the way, I know the artwork for this is pretty naff! It’s something that I’m looking at and will get better for future releases, I promise. 👨‍🎨

“Be Water, My Friend. Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put it into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”
— Bruce Lee, 1971
