SOUL SHOPPING

djrussianbear — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 07:59:11 +0000

This classic party mixtape is an oldie but goodie. It also landed me a residency at NYC’s notorious Happy Ending (2007-2008).

AVP PRO VOLLEYBALL TOUR

djrussianbear — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 00:11:11 +0000

Sand in the turntables.

Other than that, what could possibly be bad about spinning beach-side for the AVP Pro Volleyball Tour? Nothing. Nothing at all.

I’ve DJ’ed from Huntington to Hermosa Beaches to the infamous Long Beach coming up this weekend. Malibu Rum, one of the tour’s chief sponsors, requests that we only play Caribbean or Caribbean-themed music to set the mood. Shucks. I love reggae–dancehall, roots, dub, ska–whatever. And I don’t nearly get enough of a chance to play it on the regular. This gig is truly mana from heaven. Taste the sampler below.

THE IFC SPIRIT AWARDS

djrussianbear — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 21:13:14 +0000

I’ve been sleeping on this mix for some time now, since I’m not that much of an indie head. But my ipod keeps calling me to play it so..here it is.

Officially it’s the Myspace.com featured promotional mix for the 2010 IFC Spirit awards, but I like to think of it as the Bear going Indie. The show was, to say the least, off the chain. DJ’ing for Jeff Bridges, Mariah Carey, Woddy Harrelson and a slew of other Hollywood people whose names I don’t know but faces you would was a definite highlight. (Ed Helms from The Office gave me props–peace to that dude!) The Jameson and Stella was flowing. And this Indy mix I did for Myspace.com and Path Music is off the chain…peep it.

SOUP-HOP: THE GREEN INITIATIVE

djrussianbear — Wed, 05 May 2010 20:08:16 +0000

I was commissioned to do this mixtape for my boy Wanton with the Charlotte Bobcats and The Green Initiative Project. I’m feeling this tape. Good artists in underground hip-hop is a rarity for me these days, and I don’t think there’s a weak link on this set.

THE BREAKS VOL. 1

djrussianbear — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 16:38:15 +0000

I did a night at Verdugo Bar in Echo Park. It’s a chill spot where Dj’s come out to play their brand of music. No top 40. I did last Sunday with Dublab, who ran games tables and spun strictly vinyl out back in the patio. People consumed copious amounts of good beer on tap while I held down the decks inside with a set of breaks and originals and a sprinkling of golden age hip-hop. I threw some cuts over the recording through a Kaoss Pad and voila! Instant Mixtape.
