In 2005 I started my journey as a DJ. I was so broke that all I could afford was one single turntable and I spent my last dime on it. I had no mixer, cheap shitty headphones, and two old 70's speakers I found at a flea market. I found an old abandoned receiver at the flea market as well, and bought another cheap one for $20 at the Goodwill. I would play a CD, or the radio through one receiver, and had my CDJ hooked up to the other. I would beat match by turning one receiver down, and the other one up. I did this for the better half of a year until I could afford the rest of the gear. Once I felt I was ready to spin in public, I landed gigs during happy hours at local bars and eventually landed the weekend night slots. I ended up playing roughly 3 nights a week at an average of 4 hours per night. I did this for 4 years until I decided I was done with all that nonsense and wanted to start fresh and play this Dubstep music that I had been slowly falling deeper and deeper in love with over the last couple years.
I decided to create this character Nebakaneza who was an evil villain. The new persona took a while to catch on, but I stuck with it because I was having a lot of fun with the new persona. I lost lots of money because I quit all of my regular gigs and I was basically right back to square one. I had already established a tiny following as my previous alias, and released dozens and dozens of mixes, so many people thought I had lost my mind and my fan base dwindled. Luckily that changed over the years.
Now 3 years later, with about 20 Dubstep mixes recorded and well over 3,000 Dubstep tunes in my library, I decided it is time to branch out once again. I have always been addicted to music and to this day it is still the main thing I spend most of my money on. I love digging for tunes and making mixes and now that the Dubstep scene is expanding into new sounds, I wanted to share my love of many other genres with everyone. I still love Dubstep immensely and will continue to spin it because the scene is still very strong and the music just keeps getting better and better, but I just wanted to add a few diverse sounds to my roster. If I decide to spin something other than Dubstep live, I will either go under a different alias, or make it clear on the flier. Before Nebakaneza was created I had dozens of genres I would spin, from Trip Hop, Brokenbeat, 2step/Garage, Deep House, Rare Soul/Jazz/Funk, Nu Jazz/Acid Jazz, Downtempo Electronica, Brazilian, Electro Funk/Soul, Disco, Hip Hop, and many others. With this new Expansion Project, I wanted to bring some of that diversity back to the table.
Inspired by Murderbot's year of mixtapes, I decided to do my own version of what he did. I will be releasing a new mix each month of an entirely different genre from the last. Each mix will be recorded live in my living room while my neighbors are at work, in one take. Obviously if I fuck up, I will re-record it, but this project will be as raw as I can make it. Maybe a few tunes will be slightly out of key, or the volume levels off a tad, but I will make sure each mix is presentable and a solid representation of myself.
Static Despair contacted me and expressed interest in doing cover art for this project. You should check him out, he has some very cool artwork: http://www.staticdespair.com/
