Soul Sessions has been a part of Los Angeles history for years and has hosted some of the dopest DJs and artists to pass through SoCal. I’m so happy to have been a part of this event in the past, especially with my RRS Feed crew. This month, R&R of RRS is joining the SS family once again for the LAST SESSION. It’s been an honor, keep the soul alive!
Mellow Right On, new mix by Shred One. Sit back, relax, & spark one! Mellow, right on.

![stay tuned for The Bird and the Beat: Songbirds of Hip Hop, Shred One’s new mix dropping June 15th!!
World Premiere,“The Bird and The Beat” by DJ Shred OneCelebrating the Songbirds of Hip Hop [ShredOne] x [RRS Feed Sound System] proudly present “The Bird and The Beat”,the anticipated release of the latest mix by LA/ SF/ CHI based DJ Shred One, a soul-experiential beat compilation of hip hop, r&b, and uptempo beats as an inspired homage to the female vocalist. It is a story many women in music/ hip hop know too well. The female vocalist-musician too often found in the shadows casted by her male counterparts who stand center stage. Revered because the feminine presence often truly completes a song and her talents are lent in the selfless support of a male emcee, vocalist, producer. In The Bird and the Beat, DJ Shred One does right by these songbirds, collects their chorus, hooks and bridges to craft a satiating seamless blend for all mix tape aficionados and djs alike. “The Bird and The Beat is a labor of love that was inspired by being a female dj, myself, in the sea of my male dj partners as well an intimate appreciation of the timeless sound of female vocals” Dj Shred One comments. “This mix is dedicated to those artists. It is my way of giving them their own musical moment in the sun.” The mix features a cast made up the original gangsta golden age pipes of Vinia Mojica, Tammy Lucas, Caron Wheeler along with new school soul slanging singers Carlitta Durand, Jhene Aiko with special feature of both new and classic producers Onra, Taebeast, Dibiase, Prince Paul, Pete Rock, the RZA and several other heavy hitters on the roster.

DJ Shred One, aka Sheila Red, co-founded the all-female DJ crew RRS FEED with her pals DJs Roza and Raichous (Shred One is in the middle, above). Based in Chicago, she’s gone from LA to Brooklyn and back spinning and touring with artists like Talib Kweli and Exile. She’s playing tonight at Ace Hotel Palm Springs with DJ Day at his weekly party, ¡Reunión!, and she talked with us about the endangered art of DJing, her collective, and the beauty of analog modes.
Tell me about your creative process and how you go about approaching edits and mixes.
I still dig and collect records, so finding new and old music is my main inspiration for making mixes and edits. When I discover a song that’s new to my ears and hits me in the gut, I like to fiddle with it. I’ve been using Ableton, and the more I learn the program the more I get inspired to create the music I hear in my head. For mixes, I like to record live as it keeps an honest element in the sound. In a world of digital perfection, there’s beauty in analog imperfections.
LA/CA!! SHRED ONE along w/ MEATY OGRE (fieldwerk/galapagos 4) & DJ DAY LIVE @ REUNION- Ace Hotel in Palm Springs, CA this THURSDAY!!
LISTEN/DL our girl DJ ROZA’s live mix from her new residency in SF, HOTLINE- Tuesdays @ Otis.
