DJ COMPOSE DISCUSSES HIS LATEST MIXTAPE CREATION interview sneak peak

KALANI: What was your primary goal with the new mixtape?

COMPOSE: Basically, this is the 2nd mix in the CNTH line... and my primary goal, as it is with everything We (NSK) do is to always strive to be the best. I was happy with the 1st volume, but there was definitely some room for improvement... So, I guess I took my time, chose tracks that i'm feeling, added some of my flav, and hopefully cooked up a classic.

KALANI: What do you hope the mixtape will help you accomplish?

COMPOSE: more than anything, it's just another way for me to express myself. The whole DJ game is so saturated and so watered down that projects like this keep me inspired and hungry. I just hope a bunch of people listen to it and dig what I did.

K: Where can people pick up V2?

C: I'll be releasing this mix on Halloween at this month's SOUL CLAP event at 39 hotel. it will be available at all the major shops and boutiques (shout to KicksHawaii, In4mation, QUEENS, Dig, Fitted, Prototype, and everyone else who always hold me down.)

K: How is it different than volume one? If it's still available how can people cop volume?

C: This time around, I had some assistance with the homie KnowXone (www. knowxone. com), who runs a very dope music blog. This mix concentrated on Songs and Artists that made noise in the "Blog" world. He gave me some input on some songs, and got some exclusives meant specifically for this mix, which is pretty crazy. That being said, I am always search for dope music... commercial, underground, whatever. I think this mix refelcts that.

Also, we are dabbling into production, and we have a remix from DJ Jami featured on this tape to Kanye's "Love Lockdown", which is craaaaaaazy!

What's funny about the last mix was I felt like I was trying to make a mix of "under the radar" joints I felt were fresh, and it ends up including some of the biggest songs in the radio, even till this day!

***TO BE CONTINUED***

Prediction: UH 27 La Tech 21

PREDICTIONS SURE TO GO WRONG

HAWAII WINS IF:
- The Warrior offense racks up at least 350 total yards on offense(250 passing, 100 rushing)
- Funaki runs for a TD and at least 50 yards while throwing for 250 yards
- In his return to the starting lineup Adam Leonard compiles at least 10 tackles.
- I'm not going to guess who but a UH reciever will break the 100 yard mark for the first time this season.
- Dan Kelly is perfect on extra point and field goal attempts and makes at least 2 field goals, 1 over 45 yards.
- Mouton has at least one return of 40 yards or more
- The Warriors win the turnover battle

Other things I hope will happen:-
Offensive Coordinator Ron Lee calling the shovel pass at the right times and employee a play action fake off of it.
- More emphasis on stretching the field.
- A minimum of 30 pass attempts by Funaki. Along w/timely qb draw plays
- More formations with eight defenders in the box to stop the run. I'll trade stuffing the run on a regular basis for a big play or two by LaTech. Besides, UH can afford to put 8 in the box to give "the look" but bluff out of it when the ball is snapped.
- Blitz Mouton more especially on third and long situations

No Soda *Monster Energy Drinks and 5-Hour Energy does not count
Mac Salad

Limited
Mayo, Salt, Shoyu, Juice

Waikiki Nei at Level 4 taking a break

The Waikïkï stage show Waikiki Nei has ceased production for now. The show’s producers decided to put the show on hiatus because of low audience attendance. Producers say the closure is temporary and it has not affected the Level 4 nightclub, which shares the same space. So, party on, people.

Dropping on Halloween: CNTH V2 by DJ Compose

DJ Kyoko Spinzone

by Kalani Wilhelm / 10-8-2008

From DJ Kyoko’s early days in the Tokyo underground, to wrecking absolute havoc at legendary island massives like Atlantis at Sea Life Park and Children of the Corn, no matter how big or small a scene may be, the most important factor is cohesiveness.

“It’s better for all of us to mingle with and learn from each other. Constant little changes and challenges are key to a DJ’s progression,” said the minimal techno and progressive psy-trance purist.

While she’s a renaissance DJ of sorts because she plays strictly vinyl, her dedication to Hawai’i’s electronica dance music movement is unquestioned.

“My ultimate admiration and appreciation goes to all those who really know how to spin vinyl, because to me that is the true art of DJing. So here’s to all the vinyl-slingers and all those who are still keeping it real.”
