SoundNexx DJ's Podcast

Are you ready to shake tailfeather? If so, you definitely need to checkout this mixx showcasing another one of my favorite soul music artists Peven Everett! This underrated Illinois native has been making quality music for years now, and I actually became a fan of his work back in 2003. I heard the classic track "Gabriel" he did with Roy Davis Jr. and I was all in. Peven has several worthy mellow to mid-tempo tracks in his musical archives, but fans mainly love the guy for his hypnotic dance and soulful house joints! His production just makes you want to move and his hooks are usually very catchy, which is the perfect musical marriage for my ears.

Today, I present you with a Peven Everett mixx full of many favorite dance and house tracks. This kat has endless remixes of his tracks and one mixx would not be enough, so this only part 1 of 2 mixxes. A lot of Peven's older joints were vinyl only releases, and many of them are now out of print. The quality on a few of the earlier vinyl joints is of a lesser quality, but neverless still dope! Hope you dig this joint...Enjoy!

The 90's aren't considered the "Golden Era" just for hip-hop. It's also known for being the decade when the hottest remixes were created! A remix in 2011 is adding another rapper or singer on a song, or spitting a slightly different verse over the original beat. That's not a remix, and it's a pretty lazy approach if you ask me! A REAL remix is when the original song is totally reworked and transformed into something else like Optimus Prime. It needs a new beat (slower or faster than the original), different lyrics, reworked hooks and melodies to make it a legit remix.

Producers like Eddie F, All-Star, Puff Daddy, Teddy Riley, Jermaine Dupri, Chunky Thompson, Ummah, etc. did just that back in the good ole' days. This mixx is a tribute to that generation of producers. I through in a couple extended versions of tracks I hadn't heard in a while as well, so pull out your Cross Colour short sets and enjoy!

This year has been filled with a lot of great music releases from some of my favorite musical artists. I love being overwhelmed with quality music. I'm like a kid in a money store.

One musical moment that stood out for me this summer was hearing Detroit native Charity Ward's first single "Sounds Like Love" on the local radio. I've seen her perform live three times and she's a great talent, so I'm very happy that her career is moving forward. Definitely check for Charity, and when her album finally drops get it. You'll be glad you did!

Shoutout to all the great artists showcased on this mixx. Enjoy!

It’s time to drop another soul artist dedication mixx, and nexx up is Raheem DeVaughn. What I appreciate most about this artist outside of musical talent is his aggressive grind. The guy stays busy leaking free music and doing guest appearances with everyone. Personally, I appreciate it! Lyrically, Raheem touches on several topics like love, life, relationships and sex, but I enjoy his music the most when it’s socially conscious or politically motivated. There’s not enough of that in the music today, so I applaud artists that challenge the listeners. No matter what you think about the man or some of his past business decisions as an artist, you have to respect his hustle. For that reason I took some time out to put this mixx together I call the “Raheem Soul Hippie”mixx. This joint showcases some of his old, new, unreleased and remixed tracks, including some guest appearances. Enjoy!
