LISTEN RESPONSIBLY AND RECYCLE THE BEAT



Collect, sort, reprocess and re-introduce to the world. This is the basic system to recycling an item- it's also DJ Journey's method to creating those hit signature mix tapes known as RECYCLE THE BEAT. Taking the concept straight out of a "How to Recycle" guide, Journey grabs original items, and in his case, songs, sorts through what he believes have potential to be reworked and creates a new product –giving old-school hits new future life.

The "Recycle The Beat" vision was introduced to pay tribute and remind people of the importance of reusing, and show that just because something has served it's original purpose doesn't mean you should "trash" it. Take for instance a HOT original song: you play it, play it and play it until it's played out. Then you're done with it, and it's on to the next new hit. Of course there are those originals that no one will ever get tired of, but for the majority of songs this isn't the case. The same can be said for that cell phone you once couldn't tear yourself away from that now isn't up to par with the new blackberry you're dying to get. Buy it…just be sure to recycle the old one. Yes, you can recycle your cell phone! It's not all paper and plastic anymore, there are an array of items from printers to kitchen appliances that can be recycled and re-invented as opposed to letting it wind up in a lonely landfill. You can even take those neon blue skinny jeans, circa 2006 and bring them to a trading post or thrift store and exchange them for cash or credit. Someone else will find a way to make them stylish and then you can both feel good knowing they got more than a years worth of wear.

DJ Journey's Recycle The Beat mix tape is in line with that same idea and although "recycling" songs may not actually help save the planet, it's the message behind the idea that should really hit home. Re-introducing the original recycle re-mix with added bonus mixes, DJ Journey breathes new life into hit songs of all genres. Everything from 80's rock to 90 rap is found on this mix, all with added beats, scratching, and new artist's music. As always, DJ Journey delivers on Recycle The Beat, using his signature style, that always includes new slick surprises. This mix is sure to impress, and more importantly, we hope this re-use method will inspire you to grab that stuff you once considered garbage and take it to your nearest recycling center!
