Episode #037 - Silver Lining

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

This week, we start it off with some dope hiphop breaks from Japan’s Bulljun (of AYB fame, I think), and my favourite producer of the moment, DJ Day. It gets dubby after that on “Aristocratic Badboy” before the QSO brings in some afro-latin heat with “Melodious Wayfarer”, which is followed up with the bass-heavy soulful sounds of “Everytime” by Restless Soul and Zansika’s lovely vocals.

A crazed but dope French outfit called “Chinese Man” mashes up oldtyme swing jazz with hard hiphop beats on “Artichaut” (sick!), and some classic Irakere provides some oldschool latin breaks to the mix. A lil jazzy broken beat from Stockholm Cyclo is next before some seriously ill latin re-edit/mashed sounds come through from Sono Rhizmo and Tontelas. Both tracks are highly recommended!

The mix finishes up with some broken beats courtesy of a remixed Romanowski joint, then it’s oldschool boogie with the classic sounds of Gary Davis, and a couple of obscure but truly wicked tracks…especially “Silver Lining”, which is boogie at it’s best IMO.

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.
