Episode #031 - Soul On Your Side

(221 downloads)

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

This week, we get you up and out of your seat with some party music all the way through, starting with a re-edit of an underground club classic by the Rhythm Makers.

Then we get into some disco-reggae--at least that's what it sounds like to me--and follow up with some David Holmes soundtrack ish before getting dirty with Francis Lai and Crystal Mansion. Big big tunes!

The next 4 or so tracks are all bangers of the funk and soul variety. I don't know why I didn't play these out sooner in earlier episodes. But I digress...

We then get into some new stuff by Budos Band and an alternative hiphop joint by Smoove before Asayake drop a beat-heavy jazzyloop, and David Holmes returns for another dope soundtrack jaunt, as Rube closes it out with a wicked jazzed out party tune.

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.
