New mix from Curtis Vodka

Comments (0) |

Hard at work in his East Anchorage hideout, producer/DJ Curtis Vodka has put together another mix for the White Light blog. In addition to two from Curtis, the 13-mix series also features volumes from heavy hitters such as DJ Fashen, Them Jeans and (thee) Mike B.

You can listen to Curtis’ mix below or download it here.

Curtis Vodka

White Light #13

Canadians Matty C and Neoteric created the site with a philosophy that guides the mixes:

"The White Light mixes are, ultimately, about two things: music and space. Music first and foremost, as this series is a showcase of great songs, not tracks - songs and mixes you want to listen over and over again, songs that have depth and staying power, and most importantly songs that mean something to each other.

Secondly, White Light is about space - giving the music room to breathe - not a post-a.d.d. mix of everything trendy that can fit onto a mixtape, but one that's paced to give each tune its shine, where the music is the focus and the mixing is an effortless complement. Over time I'm sure the criteria will change here and there, but White Light will always be about night driving, introspection and taking the time to listen from start to finish - remember to always look into the light . . ."

Curtis had this to say about his latest work:

"When doing this mix, I decided to take it a little slow. I have been running low on energy due to our weather up in Alaska. This could be perfect for a slow day or when you are not done partying at 5-6am in the morning!"

If you want to know more about Curtis, here's a profile from 06.

Check out the White Light site to download all 13 of the mixes.
