Beat Connection: A DJ Mix Newsletter
Hi. I’m Michaelangelo Matos. I’m an author, music historian, journalist, and critic. I specialize in dance music, and my passion is for DJ mixes. This is where I’m going to be writing about them.
Every week, I’ll be posting about DJ sets—sometimes many, sometimes just one. They’ll be old and new, sometimes both in one post. There will be essays and roundups, deep-focus looks at single mixes and stylistic or era-specific overviews. I plan to look at how DJs utilize specific tracks across genre and time. There will be occasional Q&A's with DJs, taken from my extensive interview archive. And inevitably, there will be obits.
Sign up now so you don’t miss the first issue.
In the meantime, tell your friends!
