Ill Vibes

2011 was a crazy year for me. So much opportunity, so much success, so many new sounds and diverse styles of music – the rate & amount of music that I received daily/weekly was almost too much for me to handle at times and still is. It is not easy keeping up with so many different styles of music, in fact I still feel like I’m behind on certain bpms. If I had to choose one style of sound that has hit me the most as of lately it would obviously be any sound that has Bass emphasis in it. Whether its 808s, echo chambers tied in with reverb bass-lines, deep synthesizers, with crispy smooth-rhythmic percussions and hi-tech drums/snares… all of it – it has me right in the chest. I coined this terminology of sound called Deep-Thought music. Basically any track that is deep, heavy, soulful, and constant -- making you think of your day, life, achievements, inspirations, issues, ect is basically deep thought music.

It's been almost 2 years since i've posted any type of content, but I hope you realize that i've been up to something special outside of illvibes. Illvibes was a stepping stone for me, but illvibes and everything I accomplished evolved into SOULECTION. I have my own radio show (Soulection Radio) at my University (Cal State Long Beach University - Kbeach Radio). I come on Thursdays from 11 am - 1 pm PST (LA Time)! I appreciate all the support and everyone constantly hitting the "I want more" button. Such a small notification makes me smile and is actually the main reason why i'm posting this mix here! Since you love everything I did on here for IllVibes, you should definitely make effort to listen to my current radio show. You can only imagine what my show sounds like 2 years later-post-Illvibes. Progression? More like The Sound of the Future. If you enjoy Illvibes then Soulection is automatic! Anyways, I thought I'd hit you w/ a new guest mix that I did for a radio show out here in LA (Truth Seekers Radio - 90.7 FM Los Angeles). They are responsible for educating me in radio and exposing me to the airwaves. Educate your self & support real radio: http://truthseekersradio.org Here are some of my current links that will catch you up with my current activity -- http://www.mixcloud.com/soulection http://soulection.com http://www.joe-kay.com http://timelessclassics.tumblr.com Spread the word. I most likely won't post on here for a very long time if ever again because there is really no reason to. Soulection is where it's at so please transfer your mind and vibrations over and grow with me. Lastly, of course the Playlist to this beautiful mix!

I'm glad that you and I are both apart of this.In one year, since I've started, a lot of things have connected just right. lllVIBES will soon be hitting the airwaves and a ear drum near you! This mix has a good feel as always, it came to me pretty easy, tt has a deep-thought feel to it. The dub-step sound always seems to inspire me. Besides this mix, I want to give a big THANK YOU to Truth Seekers Radio 90.7 KPFK Los Angeles for giving me a opportunity of a lifetime this past summer, allowing me to show my perspective as well as contribute to their show. You guys have no idea how many great sources are out there. Please, please do the research, you won't be disappointed! Lastly, shout out to all of the artists, labels, and everyone involved who connect with me. It's dope to know that people appreciate a good selection.
