Major League Mix - The Golden Goals & Garb Release

As 2015 comes to a close, your brain starts going through a mental checklist to brace itself for the New Year.  What were the highlights? What were the little stumbles along the way – and where did you carve out some special meaning and moments in the journey overall?

I’ve never been one that subscribed to the “New Year – New Me” nonsense that gets circulated during the holiday season with the hope of purposing a resolution that will change your life – but I do think there is value in taking inventory of the people you should be thankful for when you switch over calendars in December.

So with that in mind, let me say thanks.

This past December I released a mix project, with my friends at 8 by 8 Magazine, a beautiful full color subscription periodical that highlights the long-form journey of soccer on a quarterly basis.   So lucky to journey out to NY and meet Cooper + his team.  Their stunning piece of literary art is really the main inspiration behind our project together and it was a blast to interact with them.  I hope to work more with them in the future.  

Be sure to check out the interview and final product of our collab – RIGHT HERE. THE MIX IS HOT FIYAH! & I also manage to make myself not look like too much of an idiot. 

Outside of this mix, which celebrated Major League Soccer’s 20th anniversary in the USA, I wanted to establish an avenue to not only give away a fun audio project to folks for free, but also a product for friends  who are just as passionate about music/sport culture. 

So to celebrate this year, this project, and the fusion between music and sport – we are releasing a special limited edition run of DJ STEP and 8 by 8 Mag Jerseys.

These jerseys have custom made patches – hand stitched into authentic Adidas apparel – and less than 20 of these will be available.  

They’re completely free – but as there is such a limited amount I am going do a little drawing and pick some winners.  

All you need to do is RETWEET THIS LINK, and throw me a THUMBS UP on my FACEBOOK PAGE, and then I’ll randomly draw from that list of people for a free jersey – shipped to your door. The announcement will occur on New Years Day.   Thank you so much for supporting my projects in 2015, working hard to give people something worth cheering about in the New Year.
