As a physician involved in preventive medicine, I often ask my patients how they rate their current level of stress. Few ever say their stress levels are low. Most admit they’re completely stressed out. In the process of exploring why, I’ve discovered a common denominator. These people feel overloaded. Most of us are trying to do too much. And it’s a hard habit to break, because our age views multitasking as the normal way of getting things done. If we’re not juggling a dozen different commitments at once, we tend to think there’s something wrong with us.

From a medical perspective, however, the opposite is true.

@EMYND BLENT UP VOLUME 1

If you’ve seen me (Emynd) DJ lately, you know the boy’s got blends for days. I actually make a point of preparing some new blends every month or so just to add some oomph to songs I may be sick of playing or just want to add a quick new twist to some new joints. Instead of letting these gems sit lonely in my Serato crates, I’ve decided to share them in a series of mixtapes I’m calling BLENT UP. Today is the first edition with 11 useful, fun blends that will hopefully rock your parties or ipods. Feel free to re-blog them, share them with your DJ buddies, or just bump them in the whip. Feedback and comments are always welcome as well. Grab the zipped up RAR file below or grab the individual tracks if you don’t need all 11. I’ve got a ton of these so I’ll be back next week with more. Thanks for the support y’all.
