==================================================

Initially, I just wanted a mixtape to listen to while exercising. This little project quickly morphed into a full-fledged tribute to one of my favorite hiphop producers in the game. You can just press "play" and fly across the country from departure gate to baggage claim uninterrupted.

Kev Sakoda - Too Much HipHop Mixtape

2013-05-06T09:00:00.000-07:00

DOWNLOAD LINKS:

Not-So-Clean Version
Super-Clean Version

==================================================

A couple recent developments led directly to the creation of this mixtape...

First, and foremost, my daughter was born last year. I know that at some point I'm going to want to share some of my favorite music with her, even if she's not terribly interested in listening to old-man rap. Second, it seems like lately I've been questioning a lot about HipHop and music in general. I've come a little too close to forgetting what made me fall in love with HipHop in the first place. I find myself listening to the voices of people whose musical "tastes" change on a whim...influenced by just about every superficial measure of quality, ignoring the music itself. The songs I've included here are a small sample of what I really should have been listening to all along.

The title ("Too Much HipHop") is a phrase that I've come to despise. Anyone feeling the urge to say those words in that order while I'm in the DJ booth should keep it to themselves. Just smack yourself and keep it moving.

Like I said, this is just a small sample. I've had the good fortune of being able to interview, work with, produce for, or simply meet many of the artists on this mix. They represent an ever-evolving movement that has never had to beg for anyone's "buy in." They also just happen to sound decent mixed together.

If this is your kind of music, you'll know it within the first few minutes of listening, and I hope it brings a smile to your face. Maybe you can play it for your kids (I made a clean version too).

If this is your kind of music, I know that you'll think of 10 music fans just like you - Share it, Blog it, Tweet it, Facebook it, MySpace it, Friendster it - like an anti-clown pyramid scheme.

If I hear it playing out of someone's car this summer, I may make another one.

If I don't hear it playing out of someone's car this summer, I may still make another one.

Thanks for listening.

Happy New Year!!!

2012-01-01T20:00:00.002-08:00

Hey everyone...hope you all had a great New Year's Eve celebration. Here's to an even better 2012!!!

In case you had a quiet night last night, here's a little footage of me rocking a star-studded NYE party so you can live vicariously...

WRAPUP - Empire Room

2011-11-12T20:00:00.001-08:00

Got to rock last night with Ivy League NYC at The Empire Room (at the base of the Empire State Building). Hopefully we do it again soon!

WRAPUP - Metropolitan Museum Of Art

2011-10-17T09:00:00.001-07:00

It's been a solid month of weddings, corporate events, and club gigs so I've been pretty quiet here on the blog, but I wanted to post a quick look back at my night at The Met. In Mid-Sept, the good people at Scratch Events booked me to play Rodman & Renshaw's Gala at the Metropolitan Museum Of Art. I was set up in the Temple of Dendur room. I remember it being pretty breathtaking when I saw it for the first time as a high school student years ago, so it was cool to be able to DJ in there. Also, Mary J Blige was the headliner, and she had the investment community and their guests rockin...word.

WRAPUP - Fashion's Night Out NYC 2011

2011-09-12T14:30:00.001-07:00

I'm just about to head back into the city to DJ a special event this evening at one of New York's cultural cornerstones, the Metropolitan Museum of Art...but before I leave the house, I wanted to post these images from my Fashion's Night Out gigs last week in the big city. Fun was had by all...word.

Fashion's Night Out NYC!

2011-09-08T06:00:00.010-07:00

What says high-fashion in New York City more than "DJ Kev Sakoda"? Well, ummm...before you answer that, recognize that I'll be spinning not one but TWO events (at Lord & Taylor and Bloomingdale's) today in connection with Fashion's Night (and Day) Out here in my adopted home...

12PM-5PM: Lord & Taylor (424 5th Ave @W38th St) Main Floor.
7PM-11PM: Bloomingdale's (1000 3rd Ave btwn 59th/60th Sts) 1st Floor Cosmetics (yes, that's right).

Stop by and say hi if you're in Manhattan. Shout to Devon at Scratch Events for hooking it all up!

Check Out "A Day In Brooklyn" (The Video Beat Tape, Vol 1)

2011-08-06T07:00:00.016-07:00

I shot and edited this "Video Beat Tape" to shine a light on some of my most recent beat production (some of which you may have heard as a remix here before). I'm making the "Soundtrack" (a compilation of the 8 full-length beats you hear in this video), available FREE via PayWithATweet, so you can help me spread the word and download the tunes in one shot (kill 2 birds with one Tweet...if you will).

Get the Soundtrack for FREE!!! Click this button to Pay With A Tweet (or Facebook post).

Clean Version of "Another Night Out..." MixCD

2011-08-02T06:00:00.008-07:00

I had a compelling reason to go back and create a "clean" edited version of my latest club mixtape, so now you can fully involve your mature children or otherwise morally conservative club-music fans in the party that is YOU...

Stream/Download .mp3...
Get the clean version here.

Here's a late-pass link to the original post for info, tracklist, etc..

Radio Freq Remix

2011-07-27T20:00:00.001-07:00

Got home from the gym and put this together. Kinda hyped about it. Let me know what you think please!

Moke & Tone Remix Contest

2011-07-23T06:00:00.003-07:00

Last weekend I knocked out a remix to enter in Moke & Tone's "Destiny" Remix Challenge.

The winner was announced yesterday. DiaDiesel out of CT took top honors, but your boy Kev got some recognition as well...so I wanted to share...

"On behalf of Diamond Music Group, !LLMIND & Classic Material NY, we are pleased to announce DiaDiesel (reppin CT) as the official winner of The "Destiny" Remix Challenge. The judging panel consisted of Moke & Tone, !llmind as well as myself. Out of several competitive submissions in a contest that yielded over 800 DOWNLOADS, it was DiaDiesel's use of menacing horns and spellbinding keys that created a sinister reinterpretation of the original, edging his remix over the top for him to be crowned the winner...

...We would also like to extend an honorable mention to the bicoastal DJ Kev Sakoda who came through with a very impressive remix, where he'll be awarded with a limited edition "I Run NY" tee-shirt as well, so shouts to Kev!

Best,
Matt Diamond
Diamond Music Group/Coalmine Records"

Here's my entry ("We're #2, We're #2")...

Those Chosen Remix

2011-07-19T05:00:00.000-07:00

A couple weeks ago the fellas from Those Chosen stopped by the club to say whaddup and blessed me (and the folks at the spot) with some of their music. I flipped a remix of their song "Just When I Say" and wanted to post it here so everyone can check it out.

Shout to Bo and Those Chosen...check them out at Bandcamp and IAmManuteBol.com!

Sega's "Sonic Generations" E3 Party at Club Nokia

2011-06-09T21:00:00.001-07:00

Just went back home to spin for Sega's E3 party celebrating Sonic's 20th Anniversary. Check out the flicks...

DJing for Skotch Davis Tonight!!!

2011-05-26T07:30:00.001-07:00

I'll be spinning backup for Skotch Davis tonight at THE COMPOUND, inside Public Assembly in Williamsburg (70 N 6th St, BK, 11211)!

I'm not exactly sure what "Free Drinks Courtesy of Pool Vodka" means, but I'm gonna go ahead and attempt to find out...
