October 25, 2022 marks the third anniversary of the launch of the Rightnowish podcast!
This week, we’re revisiting an episode that’s emblematic of this show’s ethos.
In July of 2021 we published an episode featuring Alameda’s own producer and DJ, Trackademicks. Known as the “cool collar scholar” from the HNRL collective, Trackademicks is a music producer who makes original songs and has a knack for remixing popular tracks, and adding that Bay Area flavor. In the early 2000s, his "Tell Me When To Go" remix cemented his name in the Bay Area musical history books.
When we talked last year, we discussed the history of Hyphy music and how he, as a Black and Filipino person, sees remixing as a part of his DNA. Since then, he’s DJ’d at functions in LA, and he’s produced more music including some forthcoming remix projects, like this mashup of Janet Jackson and Andre 3000. Check it out.
Annnnndddddd…Trackademicks has recently gotten married! Congrats to him and his partner!
