Dickie Greenleaf


Hello all,
Due to an active (yeah right) social life, making new music, and the shitstorm that was WMC (more on that later) you may have noticed a slowing in posts. No, I'm not done. Far from from it. In fact, I've got stacks and stacks of digital wax just waiting in the wings. Until then, I thought I'd finally explain who this Dickie Greenleaf character is. Well, as many of you know, it's me, not some other guy who never posts, as some seem to think.
In 2002, I found myself checking out a lot of mix CD's from the Back To Mine and Another Late Night series. They were/are really fucking cool for the most part. Compilations put together by great dj's and artists that reflected not just what they would play for a dance floor, but what they would play back at the house or just songs they thought were cool.
At the time I was mainly playing commercial gigs and had little to no outlet for all the other shit I was checking out, listening to or collecting. So in Dec 2002, I decided to put together a lil' mix called Bong & A Blintz. I pressed 100 CD's and gave them out to all my friends as holiday gifts. Being I was doing a lot of hip-hop stuff at the time, I thought it smart to use a different DJ moniker, hence Dickie Greenleaf, the name of Jude Law's character in The Talented Mr Ripley. I wasn't a huge fan of the movie, but holy shit that's a rad fucking name.
Cut to May 04, after a trip to NY where Stretch and I basically spent 5 days vinyl shopping, I found myself with a heap of cool new music I couldn't really play out. So I made another one. This began the tradition of doing the CD's every year and a half.

So here it is, for the first time ever as continuous files, the complete Dickie Greenleaf series.
