RECYCLE THE BEAT


Hey Everyone:

Just wanted to stop by and let you all know about a new feature that will be part of DJ Journey's "DJ with A Cause" blog. It's called Recycle The Beat and its DOPE. Staying on topic with our desire to reuse and recycle DJ Journey is going to be remixing....you guessed it...BEATS! He'll take old school hits, classics from the 60's and every other important era and put that new school spin on it.
Want to get involved? Send us suggestions and if you're really feeling confident show us what you got and send us some of your own remixes. We are currently developing relations with various Green organizations and hopefully will soon be sponsored by many. When this takes affect we will hold contests (music and green related) and hand out "green prizes" to the winners!

Thanks for stopping by!

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle=3 R's that sound Right


When I was first heard this song catchy song by Jack Johnson I had two questions: Who is this artist and why haven't I heard this song yet?!

The Song "3 R's" by Jack Johnson, a Hawaii born singer/songwriter/surfer/ is all about being green, hence the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle line used throughout the song. Jack's love for the environment have led him and his wife to create the the Kokua Hawaii Foundation. This nonprofit organization specializes in protecting and preserving the environment through grade-school environmental awareness programs. The program donates materials and resources needed so that teachers can inform their students about environmental issues. The program also focuses on creating healthier lunch programs, recycling programs and teaching students about the importance of alternative energy.

While surfing the net for the official video, I saw several creatively crafted videos done by young teenagers and was impressed! This song is really making an impact!

Just to let you know this song inspired our "DJ with a Cause" DJ Journey in a big Way. So stay tuned for DJ Journey to do what he does best....remix the song!

Peace
