I have participated in five Mark Korsak CD Circles. My previous four offerings have fallen into the broad category of “party mix.” Two were mostly hip-hop music, one was a collection of oldies and classic rock, and one traversed numerous genres but was still “up” enough to use as background at a festive occasion. This mix is probably not a party mix, or, if it is, it’s the kind you might play near the end of the evening, when most people have gone home and a core group remains for one last beer or joint or to help with the clean-up.
I had been thinking for a while about putting together a mix grouped in couplets. I started by looking for interesting covers of songs, but as I began digging through my CD collection I decided to broaden the concept to include a few hip-hop songs and the source material for their samples. I also stuck in a remix, and even if you don’t like rap music, I urge you to listen to Track 6, Gold Digger (Katrina Remix) by the Houston-based rap group K-Otix, a few times. Their use of Kanye West’s popular beat and their frustration and anger at the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina creates a remix that I think is superior to the original.
I hope you enjoy.

Way to turn it out Motha Bitch. Certainly not the first mix to give props to the cover song, but the choices of tunes coupled with performers is an unexpected trip.
Just say no to gun toting dogs!
