Cosmo Baker Vs. (thee) Mike B. "Live @ The Do-Over, 5 Year Anniversary"

The Los Angeles party The Do-Over is like one of the best parties on the planet. This is my second time playing here, which just happened to be the season opener / 5 Year Anniversary. My good homie Mike B decided that for the opener that him and I were going to do a freestyle session just trading record off and on. Great times, and this live mix I think really captures the energy or the party.

I had been messing with a lot of Hip-House at the time. Ayres then approached me and we discussed doing a mix together. We basically were on the same page from teh gate. It's probably because Hip-House is the best music in the world. 01 Twin Hype "Do It to The Crowd" 02 Special Ed "Club Scene" 03 YZ "Spank-ed" 04 Craig G "Turn That House Into A Home" 05 Rob Base "Get on The Dance Floor" 06 Latifah "Come into My House" 07 MC Lyte "House Power" 08 Fast Eddie & Sundance "Get Up" 09 Fast Eddie "Intro" 10 The Rhythm Masters "Hip House Break"/ Ghostface Killa "Walking Into Darkness" (Cosmo Baker Mix) 11 Todd Terry "Bango"/Five Deez "Funky" (Cosmo Baker Mix)" 12 Aly Us "Follow Me" 13 Mr. Fingers "Can You Feel It" 14 Marshall Jefferson "Move Your Body" 15 Jungle Brothers "I'll House U" 16 Missy Elliot "Pass The Dutch/ ?

But we did, and this one we banged out a bunch of new Hip-House cuts too.

(thee) Mike B. "Live @ The Do-Over, 5 Year Anniversary" The Los Angeles party The Do-Over is like one of the best parties on the planet. This is my second time playing here, which just happened to be the season opener / 5 Year Anniversary. My good homie Mike B decided that for the opener that him and I were going to do a freestyle session just trading record off and on. Great times, and this live mix I think really captures the energy or the party.
