We pride own self on knowing how to keep the crowd rockin’ but it is all due to the to the artist we know so well. Knowing the right pop song to mix with the perfect hip hop song that does not drop the beat rate or kill the vibe. Over hundred hours goes into studying artist. It is healthy to understand the background of your favorite artists because it gives us an insight to artist. Knowing an artist growth can do wonders for your playlist. Take Childish Gambino for example his first mixtape “Sick Boi” was not the hit he was looking but mix songs with one of his popular current mixtape's like “Culdesac” would be genius if you can work it out. This what we specialize in or Katy Perry first pop album “One of the boys” a classic album from her with dozens of smash hits. Mixing that album her latest album witness is a must. Now knowing this is great and helps to know the artist songs but knowing how to mix Katy Perry and childish how is all comes together!
