Studio Mix Version of Part 2 of my Homage YouTube video series, publicly showing respect and honor to great record labels and producers (video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BK1r0qJ9EEM). In part 2 of this series, I pay homage to one of Detroit's most Masterful and Consistent Producers, none other than The BUTCHER, GARI ROMALIS . In this mix, I play 28 tracks produced by The Butcher. I do these in one take, so all of the happy little mistakes remain in the mix. I hope you enjoy this mix, and I hope this mix helps someone discover another great producer from Tha Big D! Peace!

This is the original mix CD, Spring Deep House Mix 2006, that I created in April 2006, while stationed in Germany. I love this mix because it was one of the mix CDs that I gave to club promoters, event promoters, record stores, and as a give-away to fans and in turn, resulted in an eventful summer for DJ Shorty B. Shout out to Detroit DJ Reggie "Hotmix" Harrell for putting most of the records in this mix in my hand at Melodies and Memories Record store in Eastpointe (right outside Detroit) MI. 
I recently revisited and recreated this mix on my YouTube channel (mixit313 YouTube Page) using CDJ 3000s and DJM A9 Mixer instead of the vinyl, turntables, Rane TTM-56, and the illustrious Korg Kaosspad II used on this mix. The Korg Kaosspad effects unit seemed to have so much more character and beauty that the onboard effects of the Pioneer DJM A9. Or maybe it is just the fact that everything wasn't quantized and sterile like it is now. The picture used is me grooving at the Cameo Club in Kaiserslautern Germany in the summer or 2006 - Such a wonderful time as Germany was hosting FIFA Worldcup and all of Germany was one big party. Anyway, enjoy the mix. Peace!

Full disclaimer - I mixed this from the memory of a mixtape that I had gotten from Tyrone Smith of MESU Audio, Detroit wayyyy back in the day (like 1985/86). He gave me the tape and I listened to it constantly. I lost the tape back in 1993-4-ish, but can't get that mix out of my head - It was my favorite mix of any mix I had ever heard, even until this day. I'm hoping someone hears this, my cover of the mix, and has a copy of the original mix, made sometime between 1985 and 1986, and would be willing to give me a copy. I am missing a lot songs that was in the original mix, but its close. Enjoy!

2 hours of classic 70s and early 80s Gospel Music. Many of these songs I remember hearing at my big sister's house in Detroit, whether she was playing the vinyl record or listening to WCHB. A lot of these songs would be the seeds sown in my childhood that would direct my spiritual and musical journey. A few mixing mistakes and train wrecks left in the mix...Though we strive for perfection, we fall short. Listen, comment & enjoy. God Bless!

Circa 1996, I started a Gospel Mixtape series called "The Shorty B Gospel Show". It contained Urban Gospel and Contemporary Christian music from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s. I produced CDs from this mixtape series from about 1996 until about 2001. Please enjoy this first re-creation of one of the mixes in the series. God Bless.
