“This album is a reminder that one can have many different faces and voices, and yet be completely genuine.”
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.

Fandcamp: 9 Tracks
“The song titles alone were enough to purchase these 9 little tracks. In all seriousness though, a really nice find from Asheville and a sound not so commonly found in that music rich blue ridge city.”
HI:54 / LO:5 — I'M ALL THAT
“After taking a beat to go from 'wow I can't believe that Will Smith thing happened' to 'ok but nothing to do with me', now all I can think is how I've been working on a 90s mix & listening to 'I'm All That' all weekend *LITERALLY* saying to myself "dang this song slaps".”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ PRINCESS CENTURY
“Sounds simple but most people are walking around totally dehydrated. We drink sweet, salty, caffeinated, alcoholic drinks without question, but water is always like, meh. Iʼm making an effort of drinking more water every day and it helps me feel better in my mind and body.”
HI54… THE 70s @ HOURGLASS KIMBERLEY | A HI54 SOCIALLY DISTANT DJ SET (24032022)
I asked a local cocktail lounge if they’d be interested in playing a 54-track 1970s mix cd (aka: a 3hr-ish playlist) and they said ‘ya!’ and then on Thursday March 24th, 2022 this 54-track 70s soundtrack was pressed play on at Hourglass in Kimberley, BC. And now you can press play on it too, whenever/wherever you are.
THE MIX TAPE RADIO MIX CDs | DISC 35
Here's the 35th instalment of the (mostly) bi-weekly Mixcloud series where I go back to the iTunes organizational system I had setup when I used to run a 24/7 internet radio station, and then I shuffle up a selection of 'Mix Tape Radio approved' tracks and put together an 18-track HI54 Mixed CD.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ L'RESORTS
“I spend way too much time on chess.com. I’ve played thousands of 3 minute blitz games against people from all over the world since the pandemic started.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ JP LANCASTER
“Take a month off whatever your vice or choice is. The mental/physical reset and exercise in discipline is wonderful.”
FANDCAMP: Africa
“Closest thing I've found to a Grateful Dead album. And yet, with a totally different sound and direction, but so catchy. Zamrock gold.”
FANDCAMP: No Medium
“Fantastic -- as if Chrissie Hynde were backed by Crazy Horse, with incredible songwriting depth.”
DO YOU ¿ YOGA | A STARTER PACK
“Speaking of stretches, I recently started getting into a daily yoga routine. And since I am a total newbie that can barely hold any proper poses, I’ve found it really helpful to just embrace the fact that I am a total newbie that can barely hold any of the proper poses.”
