8Ball – Don’t Stop the Alt Rock

 

 

This mix is quite a bit different for Breakzlinkz but a good one none the less…

Hope you had a happy 4th of July weekend! I spent some of mine doing something pretty silly. I was going to make another volume of “Don’t Stop The Yacht Rock”, but after scouring here and beyond for new adult oriented rock, I realized I just didn’t have enough material to make it work the effort. As I was looking, though, I realized I had more than enough material to start a new series.

It’s a lot remixes and originals of 90s alternative rock and other tracks that often got aired along side them—music I heard on KROQ, KCRW, and Live 105, back in the olden days.

Enjoy! ” – 8b

8Ball - LIVE @ Breakfast of Champions 2015

 

” This year was the 15th anniversary of Breakfast of Champions. I’ve been to nearly every one and each time I walk away saying, “That was the best yet!” Well once again, this year was the best yet, with gorgeous weather, excellent DJs, strong drinks, and the vibe was off the charts. I’m incredibly grateful that our glorious little shitshow is still fun, mad, and going strong as ever.

This BoC landed on #tbt, so I dug up some old tracks to work between a lot of excellent newer breaks for a total of 30 different sounds over 60+/- minutes. “ – 8Ball
