Chromemusic turns 7 today! And we are having a celebration tonight for our family & friends and i guess we are gonna have too much fun like Charlie Murphy (facebook addicts go here). And here, are as promised, 7 new mixtapes by most of our djs (act. 8), of course some are still missing but who cares. And we just realized  like 3 days ago that this weeknds our 7th anniversary with the website, so thanks to everyone involved for doing this on such short notice, inbetween traveling, working, love affairs, studying, break ups, moving houses and what not. The results are amazing. Schowi even did his mixtape on a train! And i had to lend a helping hand (recording wise) to some of our guys so there was zero time for a mix of mine, but i just put this one (YUM YUM The Dude Mix) online last week so no complaining k? You are gonna like what our guys had to offer. PS We are gonna do this again and way more often, cause its just too much fun!!! Proud of my people right here, aaaand as always LISTEN, LOVE & DOWNLOAD

Already 10 years went by since one of the greatest R&B singers of all time passed away. DJ Brainchild now comes up with a tribute mix and here`s what he has to say:

“I was a very big fan of Aaliyah, and I always wonder what she would’ve gone on to accomplish had she not been taken from us so early. To pay tribute to her memory and the music she left us with, I put together this mix which features many of Aaliyah’s biggest singles as well as album cuts, remixes, b-sides, guest appearances, and soundtrack contributions.”
