Episode #032 - Minestrone

(240 downloads)

Download this mix (42 min)
Welcome to another episode of Sounding Out The City...

This week is gonna be a bit different than what you've been used to if you're a regular listener to the series.

This week I present a mix I did back in 2003 while I was living in Toronto and going through a big Mr. Scruff phase.

This mix is a selection of very spacey, very jazzy, very psychedelic hiphop instrumentals.

So, if you like Mr. Scruff, Madlib, MF Doom, Danny Breaks, Backini, DJ Numark, Exile and other weirdo-jazz hiphop sounds, you'll like this mix.

Unfortunately, I don't have a playlist, but I can identify many of the tracks if you have any questions about what you hear.

The other thing about this mix is that it's just short of 42 minutes in length--which is longer than the usual 30 minutes I play out.

I hope you enjoy listening to it the first time, but I think it is a mix that calls for repeated plays.

So set your players to "repeat", and have some people over at your place for a cool-out while you've got this on in the background. Or maybe just play it on that bus ride to wherever you're headed.

'Til next week, peace and best wishes.

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.
