**********************************************************************************

It's been a while since I've made a playlist and I've been listening to a lot of good music, so naturally, I had to share a new one.
I was unsure how I wanted to put together this playlist because to be honest, I really don't know how to label all these sub-genres of music these days. I'd like to think of this particular mix as "Future-R&B" although the community has labeled a lot of these electronic artist's and their take on R&B with an electric remix as "Future Bass", but even then the label gets thrown around to different sounds. Like, what exactly makes a song "future bass"? But I digress, regardless of what we want to label this new genre of music, the vibe I was going for was like, if we were in a futuristic setting and maybe lived in outer space or something, what kind of R&B would I listen to on a night drive home? (I guess technically, it would always be night...but w/e. You get the point.)

I have some tried and true fav artists, namely Sevnth. Like he's probably legit my favorite artist when it comes to futuristically remixing R&B music from the past. I've recently really liked a lot of Tatsuro's stuff too. It's a little more fast-paced compared to Sevnth, who generally dabbles with R&B with some Trap sounds, but if you like any music like this, those are two artists I would definitely check out. I honestly think they deserve more recognition. I would say this genre of music sorta sounds like Disclosure (Deep House) mashed up with Porter Robinson (EDM) with some Aaliyah vocals. Does that even make sense? Probably not.

Anyway, I don't even know what I'm rambling on about. I just hope you guys will enjoy the mix.

Until next time-

**********************************************************************************

Don't act so surprised. You know it was bound to happen. 

Yes, I also know it's been a while. MY BAD ;______; I've been busy spending money and crying over the fact that there's not enough time in a day. But the important thing is that I'm back and this blog isn't dead okay. I have a lot of exciting things in store for this blog (for the 100th time...) and I'll be executing them all SOON BUT FOR THE TIME BEING LEAVE ME ALONE I'M WORKING ON IT. 

Let's move on to the playlist shall we? If you don't know by now, I play this little game called League of Legends. Anyway, I really only play ranked these days because I don't have much time to play and when I do, I might as well try to benefit somehow right? Yeah, idk. I've always had a bit of a competitive nature so I don't think I'll quit playing ranked anytime soon. I have a variety of songs I listen to when I play but there are definitely a few that stand out to me. The playlist is a steady flow of songs, which is what I like personally in any playlist. Sure, having that adrenaline rush with a fast paced song is good for triggering the initial excitement, but having a few mellow paced songs give off a balance while I play. Or some mumbo jumbo -- just give it a listen. 

See you on the rift fams!

**********************************************************************************
YOOOOOO, it's been a pretty minute. I know.
I've been pretty busy lately (work / moving / League / moving / League....) so I haven't had time (lies) to update my blog (more like, I'm lazy and keep putting things on the backburner). Nah, but 4realz, it's been pretty hectic lately but who cares. Let's talk about this playlist.

This is my 10th Playlist! WOOT. Honestly, this is really a batch of some of my favorite tracks at the moment. I wanted it to feel like this is the kind of stuff you'd bump to on a midnight ride through downtown, in a convertible with the top down. But the twist is, there's no one on the city roads, so you can play this shit as loud as you want and drive as fast as you want without repercussions! :D Use your imagination okay.

I'd like to think that most of these tracks kinda mesh together, even though they're sort of in their different genres. The only song that probably stands out over the others is Nero - Tonight. It's a lot edgier and louder than the rest, but I really wanted to include it in this playlist because it definitely fits into the fantasy description I added above. I wanted it to be the hype track before the last track, which in my typical fashion, is meant to mellow you back down to earth. Or some shit, IDK. Just give it a listen. :)

DBH Playlist O9: JUST BEATZ

#9: Just Beatz: The Hip Hop Instrumental Playlist (Volume I) 

You know what it is! This one's special because it consists of one of my all-time favorite genres -- HIP HOP of course! If you didn't know already, Hip Hop music is probably my #1 genre of music, although I have grown to love all types. I listen to a lot of electro and fusion genres. Most of the time I'm mellowing out to electro / new wave type stuff (as seen in most of my other playlists) but Hip Hop will always have this special place in my heart.

This mix is all about Instrumentals. I realize that I'm not a huge fan of RAP. I know, I know. It's kinda weird but I've always been all about the melody in music. I say it's "weird" because most people I know dig lyrics more than anything else (in terms of Hip Hop I mean...) and that makes sense. I mean most people like Rap music because lyrically, the songs tell a story. And even though yes, I love hearing the lyrics, I've just always been more about the melody and the BEAT. I don't know if you can tell from previous playlists, but I'm all about that BEAT. Rhythms put me in certain moods and Hip Hop beats have always resonated with me, especially when they have a certain vibe I dig. 

These Instrumentals aren't just simply my 'fav' tracks, they are handpicked by yours truly to showcase the type of 'vibe' I'm talking about. It's mellow, it's a little jazzy and has a cool, positive and uplifting vibe. Perhaps I'm not the best at articulating what I mean. I'd suggest you give it a listen instead! I think even those who are not particularly fond of "rap music" can dig this. And if you don't dig it.....psshhh.....#BYEFELICIA.

****************************************************************
The second Playlist mixtape I ever made on this blog was one dedicated to gaming. To me it's sort of unique (although, these artists are actually more popular than the one's in most of my other mixtapes...) because I don't listen to this genre of music very often. Like, I am actually not a big fan of Dubstep or Drum&Bass. I'm very selective about certain songs and it's easy for Dubstep to overwhelm me very quickly. With that said, gaming puts me in certain 'mood', where this genre of music gets me amped up. So I wanted to make a playlist with this type of music that suits my taste, and that's kind of what I accomplished the first time. Albeit, most of these tracks aren't really new (except maybe the Madeon one) but they are still my tried and true favs. If you're not a huge fan of Dubstep but are looking for a pumped up soundtrack for your fast-paced games, give this one a shot. 

Graphical Cover:
On a design note, I was going to go the usual route I've been going lately, which is simplistic, minimal covers for these playlists. However, I kinda wanted to just go a little crazy. I mean yeah, my aesthetics lean more towards the minimal / clean look, but since these are for my music posts, I've been thinking about going a little more 'out there' and fun. I mean, why not right? I feel like simplistic design is beautiful, elegant and very trendy right now, but sometimes you just gotta have a little fun, and that's kind of the direction I went here.

****************************************************************

Yes, yes, it's the return of the mixtapes! I've been listening to these songs pretty repeatedly for a while, especially Louis La Roche's track "The Way She Makes Me Feel". I don't know what it is about a certain song that makes me absolutely addicted to it, but this track is one of them. I've been listening to it on repeat for a few months now. I love Louis La Roche's funky genre of music, like a mix of funk / disco / house, but this is something different. This is chill. I don't know, but it's pretty much my jam forever now. Also, Chrome Spark's "Marijuana" has been on repeat for a couple months. I don't actually really like Chrome Spark's other stuff. I've tried. It's just this one track that gets me. Something about the beat. I don't know. Hope you guys enjoy this one. This is probably one of my favorite mixes so far. :)

O7. Destiny's Child - Say My Name (Cosmo's Midnight Bootleg)

O8. SNAKEHIPS - Forever

Cosmo's Midnight, Lido, Flume, Wave Racer among other electro fusion artists are highlighted and collected into this mix.

How do I describe the kind of music in this mix? Mix up some electro sounds with tight 80's synths and trap beats. Add a bit of R&B, some 90's tunes with a new wave groove and you get something like this!
Fusion electro music is easily becoming my favorite genre. Most of these artists grew up in an era where nostalgia plays a big part in their own music making. You can tell by the old school tracks they use. Blending their own nostalgia with the new era of electro sounds, they create something truly unique.

I hope you enjoy this mix because it includes some of my favorite tracks of the moment.

1O. MORJAC & FRED FALKE - When We're Together feat. Sarah Tyler

I've really been diggin the electro/house fusion R&B sounds lately. I'm a fan of classic R&B so of course having a fusion genre like this resonates with me because I do listen to electro/house music. I've selected what I'd like to call, "chill" tracks with a bit of a pumped up edge to them, perfect for night drives or working on projects at odd hours of the night.

Thanks for listening!

If you didn't already know, I'm a huge music junkie. I spend hours and hours digging for new music. As a designer, music goes hand in hand in my opinion. It's difficult for me to design in silence, which is why it drives me nuts whenever I have to work in an environment where I can't listen to music (mainly due to communication issues....). For me, music instantly sparks my imagination. My creativity flows better whenever I'm listening to music so it's always been a pretty big part of my life. Also, I take huge pride in having such an eclectic taste in music. One day I'll be listening to electro/house, the next R&B, Alternative or maybe Kpop. I really can't say I prefer one genre over the other. If it sounds good, I'll love it. I hope you guys will enjoy these as much as I enjoy making them.

'DEADBEATHUSTLER' is the name of my Tumblr blog. I started creating playlists primarily on there for a while, so I thought it would be a nice integration to take whatever I put on my Tumblr onto a playlist that's easier to listen to.
