We always spotlight the latest from DJ Maga, usually without my input on the content. Trying on the new layout for size, I decided that you Stroggers should know why I love love love Maga's mixes. Maga's compilations always begin in a way that eases the listeners into what he's created. The inspiring opening of Back to the Roots Vol. 2 is no different. The spoken word rolls into a smooth Afrobeat. Just because he develops his mixes doesn't mean that you can expect not to be moved from your seat. Just as soon as he eases the listeners he lifts the tempo to high heights. I was introduced to African music really and truly at the beginning of this year. Every song that my Nigerian friends played incessantly has its place in Maga's mix. For that reason alone, I take my hat off to this diverse dj. While some dj's offer short snippets of tracks, doing them no justice. Maga found a balance. Some of the songs, typically the most popular, played for a while. When cut off shortly, they were followed by an equally comparable track. In the hour-long mix, the dj works in lots of Afrobeat and Moombahton tracks. The mix ends easily the same way that it begins. Maga creates complete mixes for his listeners. The love and energy he places in each mix is why he is on the top of our list for up and coming disc jockeys in The District. While I may be a little biased, DJ Maga's skill speaks for itself. Don't believe me? Take a listen for yourself.
