Subdrive Podcast - Episode 23 - March 2017 - Ma-less: Big Makk Tribute

Subdrive

Subdrive brings you our podcast showcasing mixes from artists we respect and love. Their mixes reflect whatever they’re feeling and are inspired by at the moment. We present them without track listing so you can focus on the mix; not the next song. This month is a special heartfelt tribute mix to the late DJ and producer @BIGMAKK, whose catalog of releases spanned the gamut of genres from moombahton, bass, and more on some of the industry's biggest labels. His close friend Florida-based artist and member of Moombah Mafia, @ma_less, decided to create this #BigMakkForever tribute mix for her Subdrive podcast. "I had the honor and the privilege of DJing alongside Big Makk for over 5 years at Shake 'n Bass. I got to watch him grow as an artist, as a person, and as my friend, honestly he was family to me. His music was always amazing to me, I remember the first song to really grasp my attention was his Head's High flip. I knew then this man was destined to be nothing but amazing. I watched him evolve and really elevate himself to another level especially after attending F.I.R.S.T. Institute. I was really excited to see where he was going and was always so immensely proud, to say he inspired me would be an understatement, he changed my life not only through his music but with the magnitude of the kindness and love he possessed in his soul. Although he is no longer with us, I feel his presence in all that I do. His music is the greatest gift he left behind and it has brought me so much peace and joy. This mix is compiled of some of my favorite songs from when I first met him to songs he left behind. This is by no means his entire catalog, I'd like to say it's the tip of the iceberg, but they are songs that have strong memories, songs that I love, and songs that I will be playing in my sets as long as the Universe has me here circling around the sun. I hope you all enjoy this mix as much as I did making it. Big Makk Forever and ever ???" - Ma-less Ma-less’ mix, comprised only of BIG MAKK’s own originals, VIPs, remixes and edits, digs deep through years of Makk’s genre-bending tracks highlighting his touch on moombahton, trap, and bass for a definitive reflection of the man’s music and taste. You should also know about the Big Makk Foundation, a non-profit organization that Big Makk’s mother, Momma Makk, created in commemoration of Big Makk. Their mission is to "Change Lives Through Music" which Sam (Big Makk) did every day. Their ongoing goal is to fund scholarships for young adults pursuing a career in the music industry.
