for those who like their house slow, bass-heavy, smokey, and sexy...
my friend DJ Caution and I tried slowing down some songs to make a chopped and screwed mix. Going through some hip hop folders, we realized that Malcolm McLaren's "World's Famous" sounds fucking dope at 88bpm. We decided to skip the tracks like Too Short's "Cocktales" we originally planned to include and focus entirely on synth-heavy italo, mid-tempo hip hop, and house. After heavily slowing down and editing these tracks, we cut them with samples from dusty old VHS tapes of dragon cartoons from America, Japan, and China too.

Right now is Chinese New Year, and it's the year of the Dragon, hence the title/cover art. Dragon is 龙 (Lóng) in Mandarin.
Hope you enjoy it! Would love to hear some feedback too.
