LOLLIPOP'S 1981 TOP TUNE MEDLEY

2007-10-23T18:24:00.000-07:00

The 1981 Top Tune Medley is the first record I ever made. It is a collection of all the big dancefloor filling hits from my first nightclub in Chicago called "POETS" on 9 West Division Street.

When I produced this first medley, I was still learning all the tricks of editing. Also, all the songs used were hits during 1981. Some were released at the end of 1980, but my production was a sonic snapshot of what was packing dancefloors in Chicago that year.

I was 17 years old at the time and working with a fake ID that said I was 22 - I still can't believe I got away with it. lol. What fun. I was so niave. I just wanted to spin records for a packed dancefloor. I hope this brings back lots of great memories for you. I bet it will!

LOLLIPOP'S 1982 TOP TUNE MEDLEY

2007-06-24T07:56:00.000-07:00

I thought I’d share one of my “most extreme” projects with you.

This was the second bootleg - record that I put out. It was released in the beginning of 1983.

At the time, I was spinning in Chicago at three different clubs… a straight club, a gay club and a black club. I loved it! Each club had it’s own format and hits and very few crossed over. I played down tempo funk and R&B at a huge straight/black club on Michigan Ave, pop and disco at an intimate straight/white club on Division Street and high energy and new wave at a chic, trendy gay/white club on Oak Street.

Back in the early 80's, the night clubs in Chicago did not cater to mixed groups of clientele yet…but the music did start to bring diverse groups of people together. Some tunes would cross-over from one crowd to another like The Message by Grandmaster Flash which I played for months in the black club before it crossed over to white clubs, or Native Love by Divine which was a smash at the gay club before it crossed over to the straight clubs. In hindsight, the black clubs and gay clubs helped make songs pop crossovers. I kept this in mind when arranging the song order. I tried something new in this production – I used every dance hit that came out in 1982 –every single one of them. Black, white, straight, gay – any tune that made a crowd dance – regardless of it’s makeup, was included. This led to some very eclectic (and surprisingly fun) song transitions.

Like my other medley, this was all done with a pair of Technics 1200’s, a TEAC two track recorder, a razor blade and miles and miles of tape. When this was originally released on vinyl, the medley was broken up into two sections for a twelve inch “A” and “B” side. Here they have been edited together for your non- stop enjoyment.

Many of the songs in this production still pack a dance floor today – while others have faded almost into oblivion. It's a good thing they are represented here and their place in dance music history accounted for.

I know you will love listening to this and I hope it bring back some great memories! For those of you too young to have experienced this in the clubs... too bad - it was an naive, adventurous, awesome time for music and probably the most memorable and magical time in my life.

GIORGIO MORODER - GIVIN' PROPS!

2009-03-25T17:59:00.000-07:00

Giorgio Moroder is one of my biggest influences in music - ever.

He pioneered so many things, so many sounds - I love them all and I've decided to work on a Giorgio Moroder Tribute Mix. There is such great material to work with: "Harmony" Suzi Lane, "I Feel Love" Donna Summer, "Flashdance" Irene Cara, "The Runner" The Three Degrees... and "Sunset People" for heaven's sake!!!!!! I love his hypnotic melodic trippy disco sound. Upon first hearing Giorgio Moroder's own anthem "I Want To Rock You", I knew I was hearing the sound of the future - so fresh, utterly new and yet it worked beautifully - never too sweet and never too techno cold - such good stuff.

In my opinion... he CREATED modern music.

I thought I'd share this awesome peek of the legendary Giorgio Moroder. Oh did I mention... that he created the first extended disco mix (Love To Love You Baby), created the standard 4 on the floor drum loop AND created the first high energy disco song (I Feel Love)? Yes- he created and defined an entire genre of music.

Pure Genius!

PS: Be sure to vote on the poll to the right... I want to know ALL of your favorite Moroder songs. Your input will create a new mix highlighting theses dance and pop classics.

It’s finally here! Lollipop’s 2008 Sexy Lazy Pool Mix

While creating this set, I tried to include toe-tapping, sing-along favorites, new & old... put in a slightly twisted context to keep them all sounding fresh and uniquely “Lollipop”. I transferred several of these masterpieces direct from my own original vinyl copies just to include in this mix.

I hope listening to my 2008 Sexy Lazy Pool Mix brings a big smile to your face as your summer unfolds and that you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it for you.

LOLLIPOP'S 1987 TOP TUNE MEDLEY

2007-06-24T10:33:00.000-07:00

I recently rented a DAT machine (very 80's) and transfered some old DAT's that had studio production on them from when I also did production. I found a glorious medley I thought you would enjoy. This one is all 1987 club hits that I was spinning at the time. I now do digital editing and it's funny to think that I originally put this together on a Tascam 4 track by just overlaying vinyl records and using a razor blade and tape to physically cut and edit it together! Oh my did it take a lot of time!!!!! It's so much easier now.

I hope you enjoy it!

LOLLIPOP'S 2007 TOP TUNE MEDLEY

2008-02-04T15:46:00.000-08:00

The legend continues…

It has been two decades since I produced my last "Top Tune Medley". My previous medleys have traveled the world and are even featured in a full color, printed, historical reference book

"The Bootleg Guide to Disco Acetates , Funk, Rap & Disco Medleys".

It is sure an honor to have my work immortalized in the American Library of Congress!

Many things have changed in the club/music scene. It is my opinion that the iconic medley is gone forever. Back in the day, there was usually only one club version of a song released. When you were in a club and heard a few familiar notes of your favorite jam – you became euphoric! All it took was a few recognizable notes and you knew you were about to enjoy a favorite club anthem. Nowadays crowds aren’t really sure what they are dancing to until the vocals start. At last count, Britney Spears’ “Gimme More” had no less than 32+ remixes! The iconic version of a song is dead. RIP. With the fracturing of the dance music market into so many sub-genres, it was a challenge to select what I felt was either the most recognizable dance mix of a song or the version that was able to retain the same vibe as the one I usually spin.

The other big challenge for this production was the current use of extended no-beat breakdowns. In the context of a medley that moves along so quickly, breaks are a real energy killer. Unfortunately another popular trend is to place most of the recognizable vocals in this beat-less break then follow that with some instrumental “electrified” beats (you know who you are!). For these reasons, a majority of tracks used had additional studio production added so they’d be suitable in the context of my medley. Most of the versions of these songs only exist in DJ Lollipop’s world, which of course only adds more interest and is another reason to listen louder and more intently!

Since I am so blessed to have "Lollipop" fans literally all over the world, I took a global approach to this musical production.

Great dance music transcends language & cultural barriers.

Get ready to shake that thang! I worked hard to create a classic mix that accurately represents 2007, & will stay relevant, lasting as long as the first medley I did in my bedroom studio way back in 1981. I'm sure “Lollipop’s 2007 Top Tune Medley” will be one of your new favorite mixes.

Did I hear someone say "iconic"!?!

LOLLIPOP'S NEON DJ MIX

2008-09-09T18:45:00.000-07:00

Part of the enjoyment of my blog is to be able to share things about myself and my career in music. Here is something you probably did not know about me…

I am a sound/color synesthete.

In the psychological phenomenon known as synesthesia,

individuals' sensory systems are a bit more intertwined than usual. Some people, for example, report seeing colors when musical notes are played. Like most synesthetes, I consider it a gift - an additional "hidden" sense.

Without being fully aware of it, I apply this gift when enjoying music and creating mixes. Besides using a songs’ tempo, key and energy level, I sequence and mix individual music tracks together based on color harmony. This “visualization” of sound is why I might prefer a particular remix of a song over another for the context of what I’m trying to create.

"We are each gifted in a unique and important way.

It is our privilege & our adventure to discover our own special light."

Colorfully assembled here for your entertainment is an amazing set of the hottest new club bangers. Play this one loud! I know you'll enjoy this mix. I hope it inspires you in whatever you do! As for me… I am Lollipop, the NEON DJ.

SONIC CHILL GLOBAL GROOVES 2008

2008-11-01T12:00:00.000-07:00

As a very, very special treat -

I'm proud to be able to debut and share this new classic in Chill compilations, Andrew Sonic's Global Grooves 2008.

I have to confess, this is one of Andrew Sonic's most comprehensive mixes I've heard to date. He scoured the globe to gather the planet's finest down-tempo music (I didn't even know Greece produced such tracks). The end result is one of those rare "more than the sum of it's parts" creation. I've had the beta version of this mix in my CD player for 6 weeks already and I still love it, finding nuances like trippy Arabic percussion patterns, Chinese and Polynesian instrumentation, and Indian & Brazilian vocal parts intertwined into one of the most creative mixes I've ever heard.

Enjoy the finest Global Grooves - dubbed out, jazzy, broken beats to relax & stimulate. Perfect for internationally creative moments. I know that this will very soon put you in a zen-like state.

DIRECTIONS: Press play - bliss out. Repeat as needed.

LOLLIPOP'S WINTER SOLSTICE DANCE MIX

2008-12-03T18:10:00.003-08:00

When the temperature drops – you'll be able to warm yourself with the blazing beats & sizzling hot vocals of my latest mix - Lollipop's Winter Solstice: Equinoctial Dance Mix 2.009.

This continuous dance mix honors the winter solstice which occurs at the instant when the Sun's position in the sky is at its greatest angular distance on the other side of the equatorial plane from the observer. Worldwide, interpretation of the event has varied from culture to culture, but most cultures hold recognition of rebirth, involving holidays, festivals, gatherings, rituals or other celebrations. Celebrating the winter solstice is an ancient idea older than written history. The harvest was in yet it was not yet time to plant again. People were stuck indoors with each other between two seasons of heavy work – the timing seemed perfect for a festival! Early Egyptian & Persian traditions merged in ancient Rome into a festival for the god of seed-time, Saturn. The people gave themselves up to wild joy - feasting, giving gifts & decorating their homes with greenery (sound familiar?) As the old year died, rules of ordinary living were relaxed. During the winter solstice festivals the usual order of the year was suspended: businesses, courts and schools were closed; grudges/quarrels forgotten; and even wars were interrupted or postponed while cross-dressing, masquerades and merriment of all kinds prevailed. As Roman culture became more licentious, so did the celebrations.

It is in this joyous spirit that I created this mix which has all the hottest tunes that will be packing dance floors this winter. Included are the season's essential remixers turning out some new pop flavors with absolutely ALL the dancefloor divas in attendance, seamlessly mixed into a frothy concoction to take you on a mystical musical journey. I know you’ll love it!

LOLLIPOP @ METROPOLIS

2008-04-02T21:20:00.000-07:00

Deep, funky, underground house from the Lollipop archives...

Due to the fact that I was getting more studio production work in Los Angeles, I relocated from Chicago to The O.C. (Orange County) at the end of 1993. One of my first California spinning gigs (besides a few raves) was at a fantastic nightclub called Metropolis.

Metropolis was a gorgeously designed, oh-so-chic, upscale club with incredible light and sound systems. Located near the University of California - Irvine campus, it attracted a young, sexy, and sophisticated crowd of hipsters that would wait in line sometimes up to several hours to be granted admission to this one-of-a-kind nightlife shrine.

In early 1994, the sound-du-jour was a base heavy, funky, Miami influenced underground deep House. The producers and remixers of the day were the Murk Boys whose sound was everywhere in those days. This mix is a perfect sonic snapshot of the time when Ralph Falcon & Oscar Gaetan’s Latin-tinged interpretation of Chicago house music ruled the dance floor.

The Metropolis nightclub is now long gone, but this recording I recently found will allow you to experience the great time I had working this club into a sweaty frenzy. I hope you enjoy another lick of Lollipop history.

ULTIMATE RAINY DAY MIX

2008-04-02T21:31:00.000-07:00

“Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain.”
Anonymous, 1964

“Rain is grace; rain is the sky condescending to the earth; without rain, there would be no life.”
John Updike, 1932, American Novelist

“The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.”
Dolly Parton, 1979, American Singer/Songwriter

“This mix is dedicated to my friend Mary Cowley - it was an honor to have been touched by her sunshine.”

DJ Lollipop, 2008, American DJ/Producer

I have a very special posting to share...

It is my Ultimate Rainy Day Mix.

Like many people - I love rain. I look forward to rainy days the way some people look forward to vacations. When the dark clouds gather and the muffled sound of thunder can be heard in the distance, I anxiously await the plink... drip... plink... sounds of raindrops as they begin to fall. Life slows down. The rain cleanses, refreshes, and nurtures the Earth.

We don’t get much rain in Southern California but according to my mid-Western upbringing, now is the time when “April showers bring May flowers”. When we do get some precipitation here in the O.C., it creates a moody, magical, almost spiritual feeling. It is a global experience everyone can relate to. This mix was created specifically for that rainy day.

NOTE: Something all great disc jockeys have in common is the skill to play just the right song at just the right time. The programming is in your hands now. Save this mix for a rainy day and experience how transforming it can be. If the rainy season has past already where you live, this special mix will remind you of one of those wet days. I know you’ll enjoy this. PS: Stay dry!

2009-02-15T13:53:00.000-08:00

Here is an awesome mash-up of Billboard Magazine Top 25 of 2008.

Jordan Roseman (DJ Earworm) has outdone himself in a production that really sparkles. Besided the individual songs used to create this piece - the format of the "mash-up" seems incredibly appropriate as 2008 will be remembered as the year this mix form hit its peak (mix and matched acapellas over instrumentals).

To add the decidant cherry to the top of this audio confection, Jordan created a stunning video montage to accompany it.

Hats off to you buddy! (I know the amount of work and love that goes into audio & video productions and this piece has it!) I know you'll all enjoy this... I did!
