Mimar the Beat Curator's First Weekly Pick - Raydar Ellis' Mixography:The Collective vol. 2, Native Tongues
Mimar the Beat Curator’s Weekly Spotlight - August 19th: Raydar Ellis
Hey guys. Since I hate self-promotion anyway, I’ve decided to focus more on shining a light on other folk’s music a little bit. I'm still making new beats, and have plenty of beats that I haven’t edited enough to put up, so keep listening for those (To hear my beats, you can click here), but I’m going to do a weekly spotlight on a beat-maker you probably don’t know, and a track that caught my attention for one reason or another.
I’m normally going to just find a track from someone, usually a beat-maker (though this time I’m featuring more of a traditional DJ, which I’ll likely do occasionally) who caught my attention on soundcloud. I’ll assume many of you will likely not have heard what I post, but this week, in my first edition, I thought I’d do something a little different. This is a DJ’s set, and having just been featured on okayplayer’s site, you very well may have heard this. Still though, the music he mixes was so formative for me, musically, that I feel like this is the perfect intro to this weekly spotlight thing.
If you don’t know who the Native Tongues are, then just go to google, wikipedia, whatever, buy yourself a good 20 essential albums or so (I’m not going to list them here, you can find that kind of thing anywhere and I assume you’ve heard of Google, yes?), and by the Gods, you’re welcome.
Anyway, listening to this mix is like listening to my playlist circa 2001 (and often still to this day), only mixed really well by a clearly talented individual in Raydar Ellis, who I’ll be sure to keep track of from now on. Enjoy the beats and remember… All hail the Mimar!
