DJ RUSTY REDENBACHER - 'FUNK BY ANY OTHER NAME' - (FREE DOWNLOAD)

I just had to do it, y'all.

I started out wanting to do a 'Zapp vs. Trouble Funk' mix (what up, Y Hate!), but as the funk began to flow, I couldn't limit it to just two groups. There's so much funky Music, yo....so many FONKAY people.

I am sure I will be doing a few more of these. I really Love this Music and have since I was a kid. Here's some of my personal faves.

Let's bump...and big-up to DAVE COMBS (PEEL MAGAZINE) who made that WICKED stenciled record of the 'Kid...(I hope that guy is getting this Music!)

DJ RUSTY REDENBACHER - 'THIS IS NOT A REBEL MIX' - (FREE DOWNLOAD)

Now THERE is a 'rock band', friends. These guys have taken it wherever they wanted and been forthright and honest the whole time, even when they screw up ('Pop', anyone?)

I was looking at my CD's and thinking about what albums to put into my iTunes. I reached for 'The Unforgettable Fire'. 'TUF' was the album that started my love-affair with this band. I owned 'War' and 'October' before 'TUF' came out, but when I heard 'Pride (In The Name Of Love)', I knew that this was gonna be my BAND for a while.

I saw them play one the best shows I have witnessed. The tour for 'The Joshua Tree' was one of the most powerful things I have ever witnessed. This was U2 at the peak of what is now 'The U2 sound'. Over the years that would follow, they would turn their back on that sound, as well as reinvent it.

All their songs just sound so epic to me. I had to make this. I call this my 'superhero soundtrack'. People bag on Bono for wanting to save the world, but someone has to do it. I applaud the guy for being sincere and speaking for causes that people are quick to neglect...and he fucking rocks. He is about as great a 'rock star' as you could wish for.

DJ RUSTY REDENBACHER - 'THIS ROOM IS SO BIG' - (FREE DOWNLOAD)

(I had posted this mix earlier (on July 13) but apparently there was a problem with the link. I have corrected the problem. This is a repost with a corrected link to download the mix. Enjoy, all my best. - Russ.)



Happiness is playing a bomb-ass show with a buncha great friends and talented artists, then coming home and banging out yet another mix while working in your office clad in a t-shirt, black socks, and boxer shorts.

Happiness is doing what you love to do and envisioning a room full of people loving it right along with you. Sometimes when I am making these mixes and writing these Songs, I can almost see the audience. I can almost hear them and what I hope will make them react. Happiness is playing a buncha records for the first time and feeling like you know where they will work as soon as you hear thev first 'four count'. Happiness is finally figuring out a few tricks with the 'filter' effect.

I feel good. It's hard to feel bad at 130 BPM. Dance and feel free. Thought I'd share some more 'house-cleaning' Music with you...

Dance...you're better at it than me; that's why I play the records...

My friend, CW Pruitt (The Poet Laureate Of Broad Ripple) is back from ALASKA! CW is truly one of the more interesting people I know; he is a poet, columnist (read his column in the Broad Ripple Gazette), photographer, artist, and all-around Renaissance Man. And a GREAT overall dude, in general. He digs my camera, we gotta get him one of these jobbies. That dude travels!

He used to always have his poems on these laminated little cards and would hand them out to people he felt needed them. He never asked for money for them. He has given me a couple of poems that have made my day. DIg this one...I don't know if I am phrasing right, but I truly LOVE this message...

'The ground is cold, hard and insensitive,
And provides perfect footing
To spring upward'

Badass...I was happy to see my buddy made it back safely and had a good time. Alaska, ya'll...he showed me a drawing he did while he was in Alaska and told me a few stories. Whatta great brother, My Man, C Dub.

DJ RUSTY REDENBACHER - 'BELIEF (Motivation, Pt. 2)' - (FREE DOWNLOAD)

Belief.

You hafta believe that you can pull things off you have never tried. The cover image at the top of this blog is proof-positive of that.

I have had an issue with my weight for a long time. I used to wanna take up more space, man. I have worked out, I have eaten pasta and rice. I've drank nothing but milkshakes for weeks. I just don't gain weight. I have a sloooooow metabolism; I really can go on a sammich and run all day. My body is trained for the road; eating when you can and what you can, trying to remain conscious and healthy about what I put in my body, but not really sweating it. At least, not sweating it anymore.

"AAaaaaaight, Michelle, but you better make sure I look okay. I believe you won't do me wrong."...and she didn't. It's a nice shot. My Aunties think so. I am glad I believed in Michelle.

You hafta believe. I'm rapping differently than I ever have. I approach the process of writing Songs differently. I try things. Some stuff works and some stuff doesn't. By the time you guys get to hear it, you KNOW it is something I believe in.

I am doing things in the mix that I didn't know I could do. I am playing records for the first time in some cases. I am trying new things with the technology available and my two hands that I didn't think I could do. And I believe, every time I get in the mix, that it is an opportunity to jam out for you, play you some new tunes, and maybe put something on your mind.

Believe that...

I got up this morning and put a first draft of this together and there were some transitions I didn't care for. This is one of the rare second drafts you'll ever hear me do. Usually when I do a mix, I press record and go...two hands, two wheels and a CD Burner. I had so much fun putting this mix together that I couldn't let the bogus transitions go. I reworked the playlist a bit and this is what I came up with. 

At the very least, it's gonna make you wanna clean the house...

MPOZI's Mural; A Tribute To Our Brother

There are not enough words to describe the impact MPOZI had on our lives. There are so many people who aren't in this video who's lives he touched in so many positive ways. I can't begin to explain how deeply losing him affected me, as well as the communities of Indianapolis and Philadelphia. Though he claimed those two cities as his home, he was truly a 'World Citizen'; the type of person that wouldn't hesitate to share his only money and meal with someone less fortunate than him, someone who honestly and truly cared abut every person he came in contact with.

I learned so much just being around him. I didn't realize just how much until he was gone. I'll miss him forever.

This is a mural that was painted on the side of SPIN Nightclub. It was completed July 6, 2008, just two years after Mpozi passed. This is a look at just some of the people who helped to get the mural completed. It is absolutely beautiful and if you knew MPOZI in any way, shape, form, or fashion, you should DEFINITELY take a trip to Broad Ripple and take a picture with your friend, MPOZI.



Peace, Respect, and Mpoziness,

Rusty
