I was thinking about Bishop last week, wanted to reach out to him for a number of reasons, but dealing with my own stuff, I said, “I’ll message him after the weekend.” I didn’t realize that I wouldn’t get that chance. I guess I didn’t realize how far gone it was. This is a lesson learned in not taking your homies for granted.

I’ve known Bishop, like, almost 30 years now. The picture here is from summer of ’99 or 2000, on the set of “Drop the Beat”

From listening to his freestyle days on Power Move (Saturdays, 1-4pm) to the ciphers, to our club days, this guy was a fu***ng beast on the mic. He would send me dubplates to play at the club and to this day I’m still trying to find those old CDs.

Unfortunately, the last time I saw him in person was at Kornerstones just before the pandemic. He came out and asked me to play some “real bashment, house party, beat down the furnace Dancehall” LOL, and when I went in, I know didn’t disappoint because at the end of the night he was going on about how it was like old times.

I really wish I would’ve got to see this guy again.

Again, don’t take your people for granted.

My heart goes out to his family right now. He was also a part of “our family” (those who know, know)

Scarborough lost a real one today. Hip-Hop lost a real one today.

Going to have a drink and listen to some Bishop Brigante tonight. Rest easy, my brother.

I was going through my crates and heard this Ariana Grande chune (Cadillac Song) and was about to move it to another folder as it didn’t fit the vibe of that particular crate I was working on.

But as I listened, it reminded of another song that fits the classic "low rider" vibe and gave it a quick “mash up.” I gave it a few more listens when I realized I wanted to take it a step further and make a complete remix of the idea.

So I stripped down the song, resampled the musical pieces I wanted, pitched down her vocals and rebuilt it into something completely different.

This is what I came up with, and made a lyric video visualizer to compliment the vibe.

I don’t usually upload my remixes like this. I usually just make them for myself, they go into a DJ folder, and I may or may not play it given the event.

But I’m trying to put stuff out there more, even if only one other person vibes to it, that’s good enough for me.

Hope you enjoy it, and if you do, I would appreciate a share (or even a YouTube follow would be nice too😎.)

It only gives me a reason to put more remixes up!

I made this last year and never finished it, played it on a stream recently and was asked to make it public.

Just got Ableton 12 the other day and took it for a spin. Chose this song because it was so cold that week, I needed something to warm me up and started thinking about summer on the water.

Still a bit rusty, but I'm making music again.

Okay, folks. So tonight is my last Retro Night stream until July! Retro nights are my fav streams, but I'm booked solid for the next 4 weeks, so tonight we go out with a bang!

Remember, it's not just 80s we play, but a mix of classics ranging from the late-70s to the early 2000s!

R.I.P. Tina Turner, was just going through my "Stranger Things Experience" footage earlier, and had this song in my head, only to get a text from my friend to say she had passed...

Sad day for music.
