Express Yourself Mix Series Vol. 10 w/ Erick Neutron by Expressyourselfmixseries on Mixcloud

It’s been such a fun ride working on this one in particular. My style has changed and also I developed some new tastes in my music palette which bleeds through this whole mix. Reaching number 10 is an achievement I never thought I would see, but the support you guys have shown for an artist’s true personality is what makes this project so great and enjoyable from both sides of the speakers.

Lately, I have been inspired by those around me that push on through no matter what obstacle are before them. This installment is meant to inspire you and never let others tell you what to play or how to play, regardless if its at venue or your own ears. Do what you do for the love and feel free to be weird, you are probably awesome at it.

Once again, thank you guys for the all the support, we ain’t going no where.

Do you.

Express Yourself Mix Series w/ Nick V.

Express Yourself Mix Series Vol. 9 w/ Nick V. by Expressyourselfmixseries on Mixcloud

Bout that time Bout that time!!!! I’m very happy to announce our guest for Vol. 9. I have worked closely with him for the past few years and now that he has ventured on in his own right, I’m honored to have him drop some knowledge. Welcome Nick V. I really love where he went with his entry, knowing him personally, I can definitely see his personality shine though my headphones. this is a true expression of how we relate ourself to various sounds in order further connect to individuals through music.

Message from Nick V.:

“Here’s a musical voyage right out of my heart. These artists, songs, sounds, rhythms, grooves and genres are only a scratch on the surface of my tastes, but I wanted to arrange them in a way that they might be able to give you an insight into my journey through sound. I have thoroughly enjoyed this opportunity to share my musical influences and really made this mix in the hopes that everyone will be able to enjoy old classics, side by side with some of todays most progressive tracks.

Our current music scene continually presents us with cookie cutter productions and very seldom are we given a sound or verse that pushes the envelope in new and creative ways. I have tried my best to push it for you in EXYO9 and drop a bit of secrete knowledge here and there as we go along. So have fun with this one. Enjoy your trip through EXYO9.”

Express Yourself Mix Series Vol. 8 w/ Erick Neutron

Tue, 08 May 2012 18:29:00 -0400

Express Yourself Mix Series w/ Erick Neutron by Expressyourselfmixseries on Mixcloud

First a foremost I want to thank some of my past guests for droppin knowledge on what it takes to show your unique style through music. I have some great guests coming up for the summer but I couldn’t let them all have the fun so I decided to do this quarter’s installment. Don’t call it a comeback…

I decided to compile and rebuild an older mix that I never fully finished. It has alot of Hip-Hop influence, both old and new and I feel it really takes you back to some older funk while still trying to blend in some current faves seamlessly. I think what really inspired me what a few weeks back I checked out the Hip Hop documentary “Rhyme and Reason.” I wanted to bring back some strokes of the Golden Era. Overall, I had alot of fun making this installment, so much that I cut out 30 minutes from it because I completely lost track of time! Hope you guys enjoy and leave your comments straight to my twitter @ErickNeutron I appreciate any feedback.

Do you.

-Erick Neutron

Glad to be back guys! Its been a long time coming with other projects but I have a very special treat. On oLA’s best kept secrets blessed us with a mix unlike no other that we have had here. He captured the essences of what this blog and mix series stands for. Very honored to have him on

Message from Froskees:

“First off I want to thank Erick Neutron for letting me be apart of The “Express Yourself” mix series because (In my opinion) it’s rare to hear personality through a DJ set.

I’ve never given a shit about what people like and all I’ve ever wanted to play are tracks I enjoy so this was fun. From The Adolecents to ABBA to Lil B these are some of my favorite tracks. I hope you have as much fun listening to it as I did putting it together.

P.S. (If you’re a passenger) Listen to this mix while you’re getting drunk heading to a party, It’s just a lot more fun that way.”

Express Yourself Mix Series Vol. 6 w/ Erick Neutron

Express Yourself Mix Series Vol. 6 w/ Erick Neutron by Expressyourselfmixseries on Mixcloud

Summer Time is here. This release falls on the first day of Summer, and I definitely caught the summer bug early. There have been a few radio tracks that I have been feeling lately and I really wanted the vibe to this mix to be laidback with red cup parties in full effect. I took it back with some classics and newer artist that continue to keep the Funk and Soul alive such as Lee Fields & The Expressions and Adele.

I redid the last half of this mix 3 times. There was just alot of music I was listening to that inspired me to break down and rebuild. I took it up a notch towards the end to keep it funky and hopefully a small glimpse of the fun that is up ahead this Summer. More basslines than vocals. Have fun and Enjoy.

The next guest should be very interesting…..

Express Yourself Mix Series Vol. 5 w/ Joaquin

Tue, 05 Apr 2011 19:26:00 -0400

Express Yourself Mix Series Vol. 5 w/ Joaquin by Expressyourselfmixseries on Mixcloud

This months guest if definitely one of my peers that I respect. Chances are if you are between the age of 18-25 in LA, you propbably heard him spin. Joaquin is all over but not in the sense that he does events that are a dime a dozen, more so because he is incredibly talented and in high demand.

I have always admired Joaquin for staying true to himself and his preference in music, which was one of the main reasons he was at the top of my lists. I always got a sense that he was still doing himself when he played for crowds 1000+. That level of confidence is hard to find especially when its complimented with humility. I’m very honored to have him as a guest for this mix series, so lets get on with the show.

Message From Joaquin: “What’s great about the “Express Yourself” mix series is that it encourages the mixer to play what they’re really feeling and not necessarily what the masses want to hear in the clubs. It may just be me, but I’ve noticed more and more that the divide between what I’m into and what’s “hot” has become greater more and more over the years.

I started the mix with some moombahton, which has blown up since last year and is really becoming dynamic and not just slowed down dutch house. I threw in some UK funky, which is a really dope blend of house, garage, and dubstep sounds. I put in a healthy dose of dubstep, which has taken 6 years to gain the attention of pop culture. I also peppered in some r&b and hip hop, including some Chris Brown because he looks like what would happen if Sisqo and Dennis Rodman had a baby.

Just wanna say big ups to Neutron for this opportunity and I hope you all enjoy.”

I would like you guys to wlecome our first ever guest to this mix series, Mikiwar.

I remember last year Miki and I were coming home from an event late at night. We were having our usual talks but this was the first time I ever mentioned the idea of this mix series to anyone. I was tired of the veterans not showing love for the up and comers and I felt that we needed to shed light on our roots and what music inspired us to become Djs. Miki was definitely one person I had in mind when I first began this project. I’m honored to have him as our first guest.

Message from MikiWAR : It was a great pleasure and honor to be the first chosen guest for the Express Yourself Series. This project really helped me creatively push boundaries, and genuinely try to “Express Myself” through the music. These are selective tracks that I love to play, and end of the day would enjoy just to drive around to. Hope you enjoy the mix as much as I did through the process of its creation. Thank You to Erick Neutron for this opportunity, and continue to Express Yourself!

Express Yourself Mix Series Vol. 3 w/ Erick Neutron by Expressyourselfmixseries on Mixcloud

First, let me start off that I apologies for the absence. these past few months have been extremely rough in my personal life. We all deal with things differently but as we move on, we learn to keep busy. Before things went downhill I was about halfway through this mix so I think the end of this mix will reflect the emotions I have been going through lately. I’m glad I got back to some of my Hip Hop roots on this one and I was also able to through in one of my favorite Dub Step tracks.

I spent lonely days in an empty house going through music and emotions simultaneously. This mix reflects tough times but still being able to pull this off and continue on this mix series is a great achievement for me. My favorite tracks in mix definitely have to be the first and the last because they both paint the picture of how I was in one moment and how this mix ended. I put alot of heart into this mix, I am glad to share this different side of me.

Express Yourself Mix Series Vol. 1 w/ Erick Neutron by Expressyourselfmixseries on Mixcloud

I had many ideas for this mix but instead of programming it I started from what I love; HIP HOP. It easily came together and I even shed some light on trip hop that I enjoyed years ago.
