Fresh and Sunny Vol.II: Daylight Savings Mixtape

“When we were kids, this meant an hour later of playtime, of sunlight…of life. When we “grow up”, nothing changes. It is one of the few things that draws us back to youth. Music is another that induces memories of the past. I LOVE you music.

This mixtape was produced on the eve of Daylight Savings. Two DJs, thankful for the Spring and Summer months ahead and all the greatness that will come with it. Designed to compliment warm air and the alpenglow of the evening, this mix is special. Not only because we believe the tunes are dope, but because how it was made. Collectively, openly and with purpose.

So, be thankful for that extra evening hour of freshair and 78 & sunny temperatures because that is what it is all about. Remembering youth, innocence and bringing it to the present. Toss in this mixtape and take yourself to where it is always…”

freshair's february mix: cool without content

Taking inspiration from the c90s out of London and Tropicool out of Los Angeles, this freshair mix might be just what the doctor ordered. Where the January NYE 2012 Palm Springs Mix kept your soiree rocking until the wee hours of the morning, this mix is a perfect hors d’oeuvres to the party. These grooves are just that…groovy. Not exactly meant in the way we would have said it in the 1960s, but meant more as in a funky vibe. A feeling of cool without really trying or knowing why. Imagine yourself in a chic loft overlooking the city of your choice, a tasty beverage in hand, the best of friends surrounding you. It’s certain to be an epic night. Let this bad boy be your guide into goodness. Listen UP and Witness THIS.

you hear it every year, ”new year’s eve is so overrated” or ”i always end up spending too much money hanging out with lame people.” not us. this mix was directly inspired and influenced by the new years spent together in palm springs…bringing 2012 in the best way possible. i’ll let the music and the photographs do most of the talking, but we at witness-this feel that 2012 is going to be our best ever. come join us…

special love to the ‘occupy palm springs’ crew. you know who you are. not sorry for partying guys. to the best time, every time. listen UP and witness-THIS.

new years palm springs 2012 mix by i am freshair

best of 2011 compilation

i love music…i really do. nothing gets me more fired up than curating a compilation of what i consider to be the best tracks of the year. i get off on the pressure, the last cuts, the what if’s. although my tastes of late have swayed more towards the remix category as ‘freshair’ has taken off, i still gravitate towards the song itself. i consider music to be the ultimate auditory time stamp. more so than a smell or a taste, music has the ability to take me right back to where i was.

reflecting upon 2011 and re-listening to some of these tracks, i am nostalgic, thankful and motivated. nostalgic for the smiles that were made and times that were had. thankful for the friends who have joined me in grabbing life by the balls and those that lived inside these songs with me. motivated for the future and where we are going, where we are all going together. hop on board folks. she’s going to take us to some pretty places. i digress. listen UP and witness-THIS.

in love and music,

douglas ‘freshair’ heine
