Lettuce Turnip Beets Volume Two

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

The second set of the Lettuce Turnip Beets series defies genres and revisits familiar songs in new ways. This one ramps it up a bit from the first mix in tempo as well as energy. With a BPM of about 125 it’s a whomper dance set that should hopefully inspire you to turn it up and move your body. Again, with all my music, this is a very eclectic mix that should spread the gamut of generations and music styles. Take a trip through mashups, breaks, house, classic rock, reggae, electro, and some that cannot be classifiied. Enjoy the music and share it!

Download it! Share it with friends. If you enjoy this music, the only thing I ask is that you help me get it out there by forwarding this webpage to others!

This mix was recorded and mixed live by DJ Zack Darling on January 21st, 2010. The above track is a high quality MP3 at 320 kpbs.

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.
