Lettuce Turnip Beets Volume One

Posted by Zack Darling | Filed under Music & DJ Zack Darling

After years of hiding in my music studio and “reinventing” myself as a DJ, I feel that I’m finally ready to resurface. I haven’t released a CD in over four years and have rarely been gigging over the past two. As an avid collector of vinyl, the digital migration was a slow and methodical one for me. As a dance floor DJ I found myself moving from my strong association with nu-skook breakbeats in favor of a much more eclectic style of mashups. My passions for reggae, downtempo, chill and classic 60′-80′s rock have remained strong and clearly found their way into my new eclectic flavor.

This mix is named after a magical night with my friends Cassidy & Christina as we tromped around Oregon Country Fair creating puns out of various farm terms. The best which was Lettuce Turnip Beets. Over coming months I plan on releasing a number of new mixes to blast off the coming 2010 summer festival season. Stay tuned for more as I currently have 14 different mixes in progress. This mix is a slower dance set that ranges from 92 to 100 BPM. The next 2 mixes from this series will be a bit faster with a similar style of mashups intertwined with thick dance beats.

Please! Burn this mix. Bump it in your car!  Share it with friends. Put it on your iPod. Turn it up and crank the bass! Comment on this page and let me know your thoughts!

I truly hope you enjoy this music as much as I do.

This mix was recorded by DJ Zack Darling on January 18th, 2010. The above track is a high quality MP3 at 320 kpbs.

    Haunting. It’s haunting, the strange stretching and compressing of really familiar, developmentally significant, musical phrases, but also the 21st century music that I would never hear but for you, thank you. Ahhh…here comes Paul Simon….wow, this is wonderful, darlin.

    Wow.

    You’re wonderful.

    I want to collect the whole set.

    I love you.

    Mom/D
