Welcome to another episode of Sounding Out The City...
After a rather long hiatus, I've posted a nice little library mix for you all to check out.
For those unfamiliar with library music, it is a funky, groovy, cinematic style of music produced by session musicians during the 60s and 70s and was made to be used in film, TV and radio. Those production studios kept a 'library' of this type of music which was then used for chase scenes, action sequences, tense dramatic clips, etc.
The tracks I've selected are quite rare, very much in demand by crate diggers and very expensive on vinyl, but more importantly, they are plain wicked!
Many have been sampled in oldskool and current hiphop, house, and electronica for their beats and hard jazz.
If you enjoyed the music from the film Ocean's 11, and 12 etc., you'll dig this.
Cheers.

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.
