Coldplay-Clocks (DJ Mike Love Edit)

My 11-year old daughter Tamera loves Coldplay & is always watching their videos, new and old on YouTube. So I'm randomly listening to Clocks recently so she comes and hovers in my area for a moment and comments, "Its about time you're listening to some good music."

Kids. Gotta love 'em. Coldplay=Good Music.

I decided to do an edit of the song because I loved that bootleg house version that came out a few years ago, but Its not a version I could ever get away with playing. I wanted to make something more programmable for me.

Hey, you never know when the mood will strike & I gotta play some Coldplay in the club.

Before today, to my kids, my music stinks. Thank you Coldplay. Your song from 2003 has resurrected my career & made me cool again with the "tween" set.

For a day at least.

DJ Mike Love presents The Cold As Hell EP

I produce beats & do remixes. I've also done some award winning Mixtapes that have been spotlighted on MTV and on blogs globally. Some people know that and some people don't. The thing is, if people DON'T know these things, but I want them TO know it, I havent done a good job getting the message across.

Being a mix DJ is what got my foot in the door with radio and I'm always looking to show my skills, in the club or bangin out trax on my laptop. That said, here's a 5 cut sampler of my favorite producton/remixes that I've done in the last year plus. Its a mix of the music that influences me from Hip Hop to Go-Go to Afrobeat to Chicago House music. It's called "The Cold As Hell EP" because of the infamous soundbyte I've been using on Mixtapes since 2004 that says "Shit, Mike Love Cold As Hell." Its been my calling card since my girl Crystal did the drop back in the day.

Big up to my Milwaukee family who will always know me as a DJ 1st & big up to Chicago, the city that helped make me become a global brand and will watch me take my DJ career to new levels.

My house tracks are always inspired by a night out in the clubs. This track was inspired by the style of deep house I hear at spots on the south side of Chicago like Reynolds, The Dating Game & Visionz.

Mike Love Presents-The Best Of Bad Boy Radio Freestyles 1997-2007 + Bonus Trax

My archive game is so stellar.

Seriously, I'm not one to wax nostalgic often but when I do look back at the Bad Boy Radio days, I realize today's on-air DJs could never have the "freedom" that we had in our heyday. The cultural impact of Bad Boy Radio is still felt on Chicago radio today so I wanted to compile a lesser known but important segement of the show, the live in-studio freestyle sessions. By the millenium it was rare that a rapper could kick a verse without cursing so our interviews with rappers stayed just that, interviews. But in the early days every MC that stepped foot in the studio had to kick a verse. That said, there are some real gems here, from the classic All About The Bad Boyz (arranged by me) to Common's freestyle over the Invocation beat (from One Day It'll All Make Sense), to the late Big Pun exchanging verses with Fat Joe, to Twista jappin over Aaliyah's One In A Million instrumental, to the entire Flipmode squad rhyming for 10+ minutes over a Master P track, to Juice's crazy & completely off the dome freestyle, to DTP's Shawnna noticibly stepping her rhymes up when former Infamous Syndicate partner Teefa steps in the studio, to KanYe West & Lupe Fiasco bringing the era to a close. Radio history was made.

I had to do it. I had a few pieces I was gonna hold for a Volume II but the response has been so crazy I wanted to drop 'em now!

Did you know that Twista freestyle from "The Best Of" is really an edited Speednot Mobstaz freestyle which was cut down to just Twista's verse? Its making its world premiere here.

Also included from my Bad Boy Radio archives are 2 Ja Rule freestyles, a Fabolous freestyle, a live on-air freestyle/performance from Crucial Conflict and 2 lost gems. The 1st is a Mikkey interview and freestyle from 2002 where he talks about his forthcoming album on Cash Money (he gives a title and a release date) and a FULL Common interview from 3/27/2000, the day before Like Water For Chocolate hit stores. Rosh plays cuts from LWFC, gives away CD's on-air, freestyles, and talks about his new creative team the Soulquarians and okayplayer.com. Knowing what we now know about the success of LWFC, Dilla's passing, etc, this is definitely a "wow" interview.

KanYe x Drake: Flashing Lights-MikeLove ReMash

Drake's So Far Gone is my favorite CD of '09 and I've had this idea for a beat in my head since the CD dropped. Since everyone calls my remixes "mash-ups" I've created a new genre, the "ReMash". KanYe's Flashing Lights x Drake's "Outro".
