Songs from the Soul – volume 4

On 05/07/2012, in mixtape, by mikecheckum

We realized that each and everytime we sit back to unwind on a busy day and decided to pick on classic soul music as our genre of the day, it never fails to inspire us. It’s always the lyrics, always the arrangement; it’s always the passion but most of it all, it is always refreshing. No matter how many times you come back to it. Maybe it’s just us, we are nostalgic like that. Call us old-fashioned, call us ancient but to us old is gold.

I hope Songs From The Soul 3 will touch you and bring the memories the way it has for me. Spread the Love!

Brownsugar – The Birth Of Us

On 25/12/2011, in brownsugar, mixtape, by mikecheckum

Anyone can fall in love. They can also fall out of love as easy. One should grow in love like a tree that grows. Takes root, it grows many branches, it takes on many leaves for nourishment. It grows branches and a trunk for strength. It gets stronger with age. For if heavy winds push it over and leaves it to decay, its roots are strong enough to grow another tree.

Dub and Bass mixtape

On 11/07/2011, in mixtape, by mikecheckum

This one is dedicated to all the bass lovers. The sound of bass is one of my favorite sounds. There is so much power in low frequency tones, especially in electronic bass sounds like the 808 basskick or a sine wave. You can feel it all over your body when you give it the right volume. Use a subwoofer for even more action. I just love that feeling.

Dedicated to all Bass lovers.

Another lost track. The “Independent Woman” remix with . Made this track as an outro for “Wrekonize Party Blends” mixtape back in 2000.

Which was also 10 years ago … You better enjoy it!

Songs from the Soul – Vol 2.

On 28/02/2011, in mixtape, by mikecheckum

This is a selection of music I grew up with. I enjoyed this music before the CD-player was invented and even before the word Walkman was introduced. When I listen to these songs I experience the peaceful vibes from my young years again. There was no music channel on TV yet. All we had was “AVRO’s Top Pop” on a weekly base. This is the music I grew up with in the late 70ies until the early 80ies, just before I discovered “The Soul Show” on the Radio.

This is the mixtape where I’d spend the most time in creating it. All separate tracks are build from and acapella on one or more instrumentals or beats. Blends or Mash-up’s. After blending 40 or 50 tracks, I mixed them all together and after that I remixed it all and put some special effects in it, like shout’s and jingles. i created this mixtape in 2000 and it took me over 4 or 5 months to finish it.

Old School R&B Slowjams (2004-2007)

On 17/01/2011, in mixtape, by mikecheckum

By many requests I finally dropped another Old School Slowjam mixtape. This time I focused on the mid 2000′s. Most tracks are about unfaithfulness, break ups and anger within a relationship. We’ve all been there, through the hardships, heartaches, breaking ups and getting over it. When you look back you remember that period and let’s hope we’ve all learned from it and grew stronger because of it. I hope you don’t see these experiences as purely negative ones. Sometimes it’s just a part of life and you have to go through this to be a better, more grounded and solid person.

You can order drinks food and complete meals, during the concert. The stage is so nearby, you could reach the piano. The music really touches you. Jazz, hard-bop, horns. And the service is great.

When dealing with daily life, mood swings are not unusual. Sensitive people have an internal empathy dial that is turned on high all the time.
