Episode #018 - Get It Together

(154 downloads)

Download this mix (30 min)
Welcome to another episode of Sounding Out The City...

This week, we get it started with some Latin flavours courtesy of the legendary Ray Baretto, followed up by a nice descarga and a latin funk bomb by the punctuationally-challenged Rabbit's Carrot's.

We get it soulful and funky 'til we hit Red Astaire's hiphop mash, which leads into one of my all-time favourite broken beat tracks by an obscure group called Numbers.

It all stays at a soulful and groovy simmer until Tim 'Love' Lee's "Bedsheet Shuffle" brings in some dope spy drama.

It's party time after that with a remix of Woody Herman's Mambo Herd followed up with Skeewiff, Dynamo Productions and a nice remix of Earth Wind & Fire's classic "Shining Star".

We close it out with a nice breaks-filled funk track by Brother Soul.

I started out making mixes for myself to listen to during drives and subway rides. Somewhere along the way, I thought other people might enjoy the music in the mixes as much as I do, so I began posting them. My wish is simply to share what I consider to be really good yet seldom heard music with others.

You'll hear 30 minute mixes that incorporate rare grooves from the past along with the modern sounds of today, and a dash of various flavours--from latin jazz, to disco, to classic rock, to sample-based beat oriented styles and beyond.

Please leave a comment if you like what you are hearing and share this podcast with others.
