Interview: Miss Special x Mick Boogie

A few weeks ago, I had the wonderful opportunity to interview one of my favorite DJ's Mick Boogie after his set at an Above Ground party in SF. We spoke about his days in college radio, DJ-ing for the Cleveland Cavaliers, how he chooses the artists he works with and the process behind his projects. We also spoke about where he found the Pharrell intro on his Pharrell tape, the process behind the Dilla tape, working with Nitty Scott, MC, his favorite project he's done, his favorite artists to work with and his favorite tracks to play when he does live DJ sets. He also spoke about Little Brother, doing an upcoming Beastie Boys tribute project, possibly a Neptunes Side B project and more.

What I'm Watching: Kris Collins - "Climax" (original by Usher)

I've probably watched this video about 5 or so times and each time I listen to it, I get more and more impressed with the cover. Around the 2:20 mark, the harmonies become emotionally overwhelming in one of the greatest ways possible. There are so many things that were done right with this remake; I probably wouldn't have time to go over them all. Kris did such an impressive job in turning "Climax" into a song that fits his style, and even adding a little bit of the rocker, punk edge. Again, bravo. Take a listen and see for yourself. Enjoy!
