1982 DJ Mix Tape [Part 2] (beatmixed by DJ Andre Tejeda)

2026-10-09T17:34:09.640-07:00

🌟 This playlist feels like 1982 viewed from two directions at once: one foot planted deep in funk and R&B tradition, the other already stepping toward electro, synth-pop, and hip-hop's future.

🔥 Dazz Band's "Let It Whip" bursts out of the speakers with pure crossover confidence, immediately answered by Yazoo's "Don't Go," where icy synthesizers cut through the groove like neon reflected on wet pavement. The Gap Band's "Early in the Morning" keeps the funk heavy and irresistible, while The Time's "777-9311" delivers Minneapolis cool at its sharpest, all swagger, precision, and attitude.

🎶 Yazoo return with "Situation," turning the tension even higher before The Human League's "Don't You Want Me" arrives as one of the defining pop landmarks of the era. "Walking On Sunshine" by Rockers Revenge explodes with dance-floor optimism, and Patrice Rushen's "Forget Me Nots" glides effortlessly between sophistication and pure groove.

🌀 Then the streetlights come on. Whodini's "Magic's Wand" introduces hip-hop's emerging electronic imagination, while Junior's "Mama Used to Say" and One Way's "Cutie Pie" keep the rhythm warm, soulful, and unmistakably tied to the dance floor. Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five's "The Message" changes the temperature completely, grounding the party in vivid reality and proving that rap could carry weight far beyond entertainment.

🎧 Shalamar's "A Night to Remember" restores the celebration with polished elegance, while Zapp's "Dance Floor" stretches the funk into elastic, talk-box powered dimensions. Bootsy's Rubber Band crash in with "Body Slam!", bringing cosmic funk chaos before Man Parrish's "Hip Hop, Be Bop (Don't Stop)" pushes everything further into electronic territory, sounding less like a song than a transmission from the decade ahead.

🔥 Vanity 6's "Nasty Girl" adds provocative attitude, and Prince's "Let's Work" turns that energy into pure momentum. D Train's "You're the One for Me" delivers one of the great club records of the era, balancing romance and machine-age rhythm with effortless style.

🎶 The finale lands with maximum impact. The Gap Band's "You Dropped a Bomb on Me" detonates with massive funk power, and "It's Raining Men" by The Weather Girls sends the entire room into joyful disbelief, ending the journey not with a fade-out, but with a celebration loud enough to shake the roof.

This isn't just a playlist. It's the crossroads of 1982, where funk, synth-pop, disco's afterglow, and hip-hop's first electronic heartbeat all occupy the same dance floor. Every track captures a moment when the future was arriving from multiple directions at once, and somehow all of them sounded exciting.

Enjoy the ride.

🔜 And stay tuned—Part 3 is coming soon, bringing even more deep cuts, energy shifts, and sonic surprises!

1982 DJ Mix Tape [Part 1] (beatmixed by DJ Andre Tejeda)

2026-09-16T03:37:32.490-07:00

🌟 1982 snaps open with Thomas Dolby’s “She Blinded Me With Science” — all jittery synths and mad‑lab charm, the perfect spark to announce that the new decade has fully arrived. Steve Miller Band’s “Abracadabra” slides in with glossy radio magic, and Olivia Newton‑John’s “Physical” tightens the mix into pure neon confidence — the moment the floor wakes up and starts moving.

🔥 Prince’s “1999” detonates the night with apocalyptic joy, and the Peech Boys’ “Don’t Make Me Wait” pulls everything into deeper, club‑lit hypnosis. Zapp’s “Doo Wa Ditty” keeps the funk rubbery and playful, while Cameo’s “Flirt” sharpens the edges with that unmistakable early‑80s swagger.

🎶 George Thorogood’s “Bad to the Bone” kicks the doors open with bar‑blues bravado, only for Malcolm McLaren’s “Buffalo Gals” to spin the room sideways — a scratch‑driven culture shock that rewires the mix into something stranger and more electric. Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger” hits like a pulse of pure adrenaline before Hall & Oates glide in with “I Can’t Go For That,” smoothing everything into immaculate, late‑night cool.

🌀 Kool & The Gang’s “Get Down On It” lifts the energy back into party mode, Evelyn King’s “Love Come Down” adds shimmering elegance, and Madonna’s “Everybody” plants the flag for a new pop era rising right in real time.

🎧 Then the mix pivots into the future: Jonzun Crew’s “Pack Jam” stretches the groove into space‑funk circuitry, Grandmaster Flash’s “Scorpio” tightens the rhythm into breakdance geometry, and Afrika Bambaataa’s “Planet Rock” redraws the entire map — the moment dance music stops being earthbound. Planet Patrol’s “Play at Your Own Risk” seals the finale with metallic pulse and street‑level attitude, a closing statement that feels like the birth of tomorrow.

🔜 And stay tuned—Part 2 is coming soon, bringing even more deep cuts, energy shifts, and sonic surprises!

Acid-Jazz DJ Mix Tape [Part 1] (beatmixed by DJ Andre Tejeda)

2026-06-02T21:20:43.369-07:00

🌟 This mix opens with the unmistakable swagger of “Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)” — a horn‑driven blast of jazz‑funk attitude that sets the whole arc in motion. From there, the groove tightens into Incognito’s “Always There”, a perfect moment of lift where the rhythm section locks in and the energy starts to climb.

🎶 As the mix unfolds, the sound widens into that early‑90s acid‑jazz engine: bright keys, sharp drums, deep basslines, and guitar lines that cut through the pocket with real purpose. Corduroy, Jamiroquai, Young Disciples — each track adds new color without breaking the flow. Nothing drifts. Nothing repeats. Every transition earns its place.

🌀 The mid‑section hits with a more percussive edge — Snowboy, Man Sueto, Jestofunk — all attitude, all movement, all forward pressure. It’s the part of the mix where the room wakes up and the floor starts to breathe.

🎧 Then the blend shifts into deeper textures: Izit, The Herbaliser, Brand New Heavies. The pocket gets heavier, the melodies get richer, and the whole sequence feels like a live band tightening the screws in real time.

🔥 The final stretch lands with pure style — DJ Rodriguez, JTQ, Night Trains, A Man Called Adam — a closing run that feels cinematic, warm, and fully resolved. No loose ends. No filler. Just a clean descent after a high‑energy climb.

This isn’t nostalgia.
This is acid‑jazz, funk, and street‑level groove built into a single continuous architecture — tracks that still compete, still hit, and still move a room.

Enjoy the ride.

Jazz-Funk DJ Mix Tape [Part 1] (mixed by DJ Andre Tejeda)

2026-04-08T02:18:00.000-07:00

🌟 This mix opens with the primal heartbeat of Apache — a percussive force carved out of stone, instantly setting the tone with raw Tribal energy. Soul Makossa follows with its hypnotic chant and rolling groove, deepening the pulse and pulling the mix into a tighter, more focused rhythm.

🎶 The sound widens into the golden era of Jazzy funk. Rock Creek Park glides in with effortless cool, and Chameleon (Part 1) shifts the room into Herbie Hancock’s electric universe — all synth swagger and late‑night tension. Deodato’s Also Sprach Zarathustra lifts the mix into cosmic territory, a bright, orchestral burst that melts perfectly into the smooth ascent of Herb Alpert’s Rise.

🌀 Chuck Mangione’s Give It All You Got keeps the momentum warm and melodic, a breezy glide before the floor drops into the deep thunder of Stratus. Billy Cobham’s drums erupt like a storm engine, pivoting the mix from Jazzy elegance into Funky grit. That energy snaps into place with the razor‑tight discipline of Monaurail, where The JB’s lock the pocket with surgical precision.

🎧 Bobbi Humphrey’s Harlem River Drive brings the brightness back, a flute‑driven cruise through sunlit streets, setting up the muscular punch of Soul Power ’74 — a cut that hits with pure Funky authority. The energy climbs higher as Maria Fumaça bursts in with Brazilian NRG, all horns, color, and forward motion.

🔥 Then the mix reaches its peak. Pleasure’s Joyous explodes with full‑band celebration — guitars, horns, and rhythm section all firing at once — followed by Tom Browne’s Funkin’ for Jamaica, a smooth, confident glide that keeps the room glowing. Idris Muhammad’s Turn This Mutha Out pushes the mix into its final sprint, and Sir Joe Quarterman’s So Much Trouble In My Mind closes everything with gritty, street‑level funk that refuses to fade quietly.

1981 DJ Mix Tape [Part 1] (mixed by DJ Andre Tejeda)

2026-01-24T19:06:00.000-08:00

🌟 1981 opens with Carl Carlton’s “She’s A Bad Mama Jama” — a strut in audio form, the kind of confident sparkle that instantly sets the room’s temperature. Teena Marie’s “Square Biz” follows with electric charm, snapping the mix into motion with her signature blend of funk, jazz, and fearless personality.

🎶 Lakeside widens the groove with “Fantastic Voyage,” pure early‑80s escapism, before The Gap Band hits with the unmistakable swagger of “Burn Rubber.” Rick James seals the warm‑up arc with “Give It To Me Baby,” a polished blast of funk that locks the floor into place.

🌀 Earth, Wind & Fire lift everything into neon air with “Let’s Groove,” and Prince sharpens the edge with “Controversy,” pushing the mix into the magnetic crossroads where 1981 lived. Bar‑Kays and One Way keep the energy tight and muscular, a seamless pulse of early‑80s club electricity.

🎧 Tom Tom Club cracks the mix wide open with “Genius of Love,” setting up Blondie’s “Rapture” to glide effortlessly between hip‑hop, new wave, and pop. Springsteen’s “Hungry Heart” adds a burst of radio‑bright Americana before the late‑night climb begins.

🌀 Gino Soccio, Change, Nick Straker Band, Frankie Smith, and Fantasy close Part 1 with glossy precision, bounce, and a triumphant finale — the kind of run that leaves the room glowing long after the last note fades.

1980 TimeWarp: Rhythms Reimagined [Part 6] (mixed by DJ Andre Tejeda)

2025-12-28T21:00:00.000-08:00

🌟 The Pretenders open with “Brass in Pocket,” a confident spark that sets the tone with quiet swagger. Bob Seger follows with the reflective glide of “Against the Wind,” before The Jacksons snap the mix into motion with the polished funk of “Lovely One.”

🎶 Sergio Mendes shifts the palette into breezy sophistication, Janice McClain lifts the energy with effortless disco shine, and Charlie Dore resets the mood with soft-focus warmth. Stargard, Sister Sledge, and Two Tons O’ Fun ignite the dance engine, rising into Dan Hartman’s bright momentum on “Free Ride.”

🌀 Jeanne Shy shapes the night-drive phase with late-night mystique, Busta Jones widens the horizon with global swagger, and The Flying Lizards flip the vibe sideways with minimalist quirk.

2025-12-01T19:00:00.000-08:00

🌟 The Eagles open with “The Long Run,” a sly statement of endurance that sets the arc in motion. Herbie Hancock lifts the groove skyward, Ben E. King locks us into trance, and Tom Petty sharpens the edge before Dan Hartman reignites the disco flame. Debbie Jacobs and The Invisible Man’s Band keep the floor alive, while Linda Clifford cools the edges with soulful resilience.

1980 Cholo Culture DJ Mix (mixed by DJ Andre Tejeda)

2025-10-14T22:14:00.000-07:00

🌟 This mix isn’t just a playlist — it’s a rolling mural. A sonic cruise through the boulevards of 1980, where lowriders glided, hoop earrings swung, and every track carried the weight of pride, rhythm, and resistance.

🔥 Curated with forensic care and cultural reverence, DJ Andre Tejeda stitches together funk, soul, and bounce into a seamless ride that honors the Chicano spirit and the dancefloor legacy it built.

🎶 From Zapp’s hydraulic grooves to Teena Marie’s velvet propulsion, every selection is a chrome-plated memory. You’ll hear the pulse of backyard parties, the swagger of boulevard nights, and the quiet heroism of a community that made joy out of struggle — all wrapped in mural-grade fidelity.

1980 TimeWarp: Rhythms Reimagined [Part 3] (mixed by DJ Andre Tejeda)

2025-07-24T23:57:00.000-07:00

🌟 The year’s not done with us yet. This is Part 3—where the momentum shifts, the pulse quickens, and the glitter starts to crack under neon pressure. We’re deep enough into 1980 to feel the muscle memory of disco tug against the rising edge of new wave, dub, and defiant funk. The floor isn’t just grooving anymore—it’s thinking, twitching, protesting, remembering.

🎶 We open with “Could You Be Loved”, a question dressed in hope, bouncing into The Sequence’s street-corner swagger. Refugee throws us off balance, then Love Injection and Clouds swirl us into a daydream that’s equal parts intimate and cosmic.

🎶 Kim Carnes and Dynasty bring their own brand of smoky ache and satin polish, while Funtime reminds us not to take freedom for granted. From there, The Police and Loose Joints send us spiraling inward—voices in our heads, bodies on the edge, gender and groove deconstructed in real time.

🎶 As the climax builds, Sylvester pleads and testifies, and The Clash comes barreling through with urgency in its bones. TW Funkmasters drops a dubwise pulse from the underground, and then—we drift. “In The Forest” closes us out in filtered light, like memory pressing gently against the surface of now.

🌀 This isn’t the end. This is the hinge. The sound is mutating. The culture is widening. What started in Part 1 as a time capsule is now morphing into a narrative—disjointed, defiant, deeply human. There’s more to come. Let’s keep digging.

🎧 For the most immersive listening experience, we highly recommend using headphones—letting every detail, every layer, and every transition come through exactly as intended.

🔜 And stay tuned—Part 4 is coming soon, bringing even more deep cuts, energy shifts, and sonic surprises!

1980 TimeWarp: Rhythms Reimagined [Part 2] (mixed by DJ Andre Tejeda)

2025-07-01T22:50:00.000-07:00

🌟 Get caught in the crossfire of funk, disco, and post-punk alchemy. In this second expedition through 1980, DJ Andre Tejeda summons the pulse of a cultural pivot point—where synthetic grooves met analog swagger, and dance floors became battlegrounds of emotion, irony, and escape.

🔥 From Chuck Mangione’s brassy optimism to the surreal tension of Talking Heads and the quiet ache of Rupert Holmes, every track here is a puzzle piece in a beautifully warped timeline. Seamless edits, unexpected turns, and EQ sorcery reframe each classic not as relics—but as relics in motion.

🎶 This isn’t nostalgia. It’s sonic preservation with attitude

1980 TimeWarp: Rhythms Reimagined [Part 1] (mixed by DJ Andre Tejeda)

2025-04-21T15:58:00.000-07:00

🎶 "Welcome to a mix where Soft Rock soothes, Rock electrifies, New Wave intrigues, and Disco & Funk sets the floor ablaze. This set captures the spirit of one incredible year, blending rhythm, groove, and melody into an unforgettable flow. Whether you’re here to vibe, relax, or move, this mix delivers pure musical magic. Let the music take over." 🎶

This mix is a showcase of seamless transitions and rising energy, blending genres (Soft Rock, Disco, Funk, Rock, and New Wave) in a way that surprises and captivates -- in Latin we call it a "Capirotada". Long intros and outros take center stage, giving basslines and drum beats room to evolve into the next track. As the music progresses, the momentum steadily increases, pulling the listener into an ever-elevating experience. Instruments and vocals emerge, creating fresh dynamics that make each shift feel both unexpected and exhilarating, leaving the listener wondering, 'How did we get here?'

What makes this mix even more unique is its bold inclusion of tracks that rarely feature in DJ beatmixing sets. Some of these songs are being presented in ways they’ve rarely, if ever, been showcased before. Carefully rearranged to fit the mix's vision, they retain their original essence while offering listeners a fresh, innovative perspective. Each track has been meticulously tweaked to enhance its energy and cohesion within the set. Some parts of the original tracks have been thoughtfully adjusted or removed to align with the overall flow and vision of the mix, ensuring every transition feels deliberate and smooth. While these tracks may sound extended or rearranged, every element used comes directly from the original mastered recording, blending innovation with respect for the source material.

Be sure to be on the lookout for [Part 2] coming soon!" 🎶
