Taken!




LA's music scene has always evolved and the DJ scene has always been a strong backbone as to why bands become successful in LA and other parts of the Nation. LA's DJ scene has brought us legends like Richard "Humpty" Vission, Thee Mike B and Morse Code. LA has also brought us this new DJ that we had a chance to review last May. Mixologist Mikk has been in the EDM, Hip Hop and Pop scene and most recently released a new single, Taken. Somar's Radar had a chance to ask him a few questions behind the track and what inspired this great single. We hope this introduces him to the Somar Community and each of you go out and support his music, locally and abroad. Here is our interview with Mixologist Mikk:

Somars Radar: What are your musical inspirations?

Mixologist Mikk: Real-life, personal experiences that can be recreated in the form of music  - music that others can relate to


Somar's Radar: When did you discover that music was your career path?

Mixologist Mikk: My original plan was to pursue the life and grind of a basketball player. Burnout and physical limitations – athleticism and size-wise – led me to re-strategize on my career path during college. I could not let go, though, of my vision to continue being on stage performing in front of people, and I couldn’t just let my innate creativity be used for a hobby. So, I decided to get serious and hone my craft as a music producer and performer.


Somar's Radar: How do you describe your music?

Mixologist Mikk: Fusion. I fuse to confuse, lol. Kidding aside, I really take my “Mixologist” moniker to heart by “mixing” different genres into a cohesive result. When I produce, my styles are mainly either “Urban-Pop” or “Electronic-Pop” fusions. When I DJ, my foundation is House, fused with Pop, Rap, and Electronic Music. My overall sound has evolved to become more “mainstream” than “underground”.


Somar's Radar: If your music was locked in a time capsule and opened 100 years from now, what would you want music fans to say about your music?

Mixologist Mikk: “Someone bring this artist back to life!”


Somar's Radar: Any final words to music lovers?

Mixologist Mikk: Don’t get affected too much by “TAKEN”, music will always be “available”!

'Just My Sun' A Message of Hope!

Image
There are times when a song comes with a powerful message that brings you through a not so pleasant time in your life. If you are anything like me, you listen to it as many times as you can until the wounds start to slowly heal, 'Just My Sun' delivers a message that many relate to, but very few speak of!  San Francisco Bay Area's iconic lyricists Deuce Eclipse recalls, "At the time of writing this song, I was in the process of trying to have a child. I thought about all the parents that were going through the same thing." Many going through the same life path, remain silent and do not voice how they are feeling. They silently push through and navigate through life taking one day at a time. This first-time collaboration between two talented musicians was birthed 8 years ago at SXSW and together they were both able to bring forth a musical creation that releases some inner private feelings through Deuce Eclipse's very personal message! El Juanio stated. "I ...
