Back to the Beats

Getting back to doing what I do. More to come...

This is hype....

(Yeah. I've decided to bring back the word "Hype")If you've ever seen me walking down the hallway at work, drumming on my chest, then you can understand why I'd want this. Christmas is not that far away.

New Mellow D Music

I mentioned in my first post that I still make music as a hobby. Here's my most recent work. It's a beat I did for Chicago's own Golden Child.

Wow. This is interesting. How do I write my first blog post without sounding like a completely boring dweeb. (Yeah, I said dweeb.) Actually, this isn't technically my first time blogging. I've blogged randomly here and there on Myspace. But this is my first post on my official blog here at Blogger.

If you're wondering where the name came from, it's not nearly as clever as you might think. I started playing around with electronic music production when I was in high school. I went through a few "stage" names. I won't torture you and show my lack of youthful imagination, but one of them was MixMaster D. Yeah I know. But eventually I settled with DJ Mellow D. It fits my personality perfectly, and most people call me D rather than Dimitri anyway.
I'm still doing the music thing as a hobby. I'm a teacher by profession at an elementary school on the West side of Chicago.
We'll see how this blogging thing goes.

Oh... and here's a flashback for you guys:
