MC Alpow, an artist I met through previous Radical Lounge events asked me to produce a performance mix.
After traffic and getting a little lost, we got to work on putting together a mix of tracks, two covers and an original piece. Alpow had a fairly good idea of what he wanted put together, so we chopped the tracks to the verses he wanted to perform and went about piecing them together. Advice given for this kind of mix was to do 1.5 minutes of cover material, and 2 minutes of original work to come to total 3.5 minute performance. It's very easy to go over that limit, and we had to trim right down intro sections and breaks between verses to get it to fit the window we had.
The mix has been put together for Alpow's performance at a Live and Unsigned Regional Final.
