Yeah, But Does He DJay? Mixtape (1996)


This mix marks an era in time where I was newly made aware of the worldwide potential of taking part in the whole mixtape scene. I credit the owner & founder of  Fat Beats, Joseph Abajian for encouraging me to make mixes featuring the independent underground artist who never got the well deserved visibility in the commercial market. I can't begin to describe how grateful I am to Fat Beats for being the vehicle to many of the accomplishments I achieved in this field of music. I'm not too sure where I would be without this store. Also big shouts to my boy DJ Riz...the title "Yeah,But Does He DJay?" is something we use to ask when  describing a random person riding the DJ title without possessing any true DJ skills. Keep in mind, this was only my 2nd mixtape release, done way before Logic Audio, Pro-Tools, & CD's...this was available only on cassette tape at that time. I must make mention of the LIVE FREESTYLE session by A Tribe Called Quest with me on the tables!! Major shouts to DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ 3D, DJ Eclipse, DJ Just Dizle, and DJ Nino Brown for the constant levels of support over the years!!!!

Enjoy,
A.

DJ A.Vee's Cornerstone Suite 903 Mix - Unreleased Version



Back in 2001 Cornerstone Promotions launched the Suite 903 series of mix compositions. The goal was to promote & present an alternative selection of music that never really got the proper exposure in the urban market. The double CD series began with Rich Medina and myself. Although not for sell, the CD reached alot of people with Cornerstone Promotion's huge marketing campaigns. However, this version of my mix for the series never got released. Hope you enjoy it!

Peace,

DJ A.Vee's Mix for DJ Little Maze's DJ Salat Volume 4 (2008)



Hey folks...I dug up this mini-mix I did for my boy DJ Little Maze from Switzerland. Every year he puts together a mix cd made up of twenty 3.5 minute contributions from selected DJ's and artist to make up this "DJ Salad" or "DJ Salat". This particular volume featured DJ Little Maze, myself, DJ Revolution, Haitian Star, Thaid,Rascue, Steve Supreme, Rakaa Iriscience (from Dilated Peoples) to name a few. I know three and a half minutes doesn't seem like a long time, but that was the challenging part of the assignment. Inaddition to that, standing out from the pack or not playing the same generic shit was the other challenge.

To enjoy the 20 DJ mix in its entirety, be sure to pick up DJ Little Maze's DJ Salat Volume 4. Hope you folks enjoy my portion of the CD.

Big shouts to those who looked out with the exclusives for this mix:
DJ Jazzy Jeff, Prince Paul, Bumpy Knuckles, Mahsa Naimi, Big Tona, Dynas, DJ Spinna, & shouts to DJ Little Maze for making me part of Volume #4's line-up.

Peace,
A.

DJ A.Vee's "Regardless VII" Mixtape (1999)



Must admit an insane amount of time has passed since my last posting.
(None of that B.S anymore!!!)
Aaaanywayyys....Anyone who knows me, knows I'm a very modest & humble person. However, hands down this mix right here was one of my greatest compositions (in my mind at least). Having a circle of friends who happened to be some of the most respected DJ's on the planet really pushed me to not just work hard are getting "Exclusives" but also pushed me to step up the skill level in creating this back in late 1999
(Wow its been over ten years!!).
Big shouts to those who looked out with the exclusives for this mix:
DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ Eclipse, DJ Spin One, DJ Evil Dee, DJ 3D, DJ Riz,
DJ Spinbad, DJ Spinna, J-Live, Mr. Morgan, & www.88HIPHOP.com

Hope you folks enjoy "Regardless VII" or known by some as "Regardless 7"

Peace,
A.
