Welcome to another episode of Sounding Out The City...
This week, we start it off with some cinematic downtempo sounds from Grantby, and some cut ‘n paste trickery by Featurecast, followed by a nice, beat-heavy Bstrd Boots re-edit of an obscure (to me) Motown track Stevie Wonder sang in Italian (!!) It’s really good. Trust me. Next up, we get into some breaks-filled and jazzy 60’s go-go weirdness by Boca 45, with a brief Kermit The Frog sample in it (wtf?!?). Again, it’s really good. Trust me.
Then we get the legendary Bob Dylan pairing up with Mark Ronson and his brand of hiphop production. I’ve definitely indulged in some musical oddities this week, but they’re all stormers. Trust me. Anyway, after that, Hai Karate mash up an obscure (to me) 60’s soul ditty with their fine blend of beats and filters, then DJ Format takes it to the floor for the breakers with “2,3…Scrape”.
Next up, Ursula 1000’s lovely “Boop” gets the Skeewiff treatment with great results, and we go a little deep on the house side with “Closing In” by the mighty Bronx Dogs of “Weya Funk” fame. After a brief stop off with a couple oldschool funk joints, DJ T brings some minimal electro-fused boogie before Diplo’s amazing remix of “Gold Lion” by the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s pushes you onto the dancefloor.
The mix finishes up with some deep house courtesy of Trevor Lovey’s super groovy “The Crossing” and a real nice edit of an amazing, soulful (and very tasteful) disco track called “The Stranger” by the C. Henry Woods Troupe.
Enjoy.

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.

I just got to the end of #38 and had to thank you for warming this old britpunk's heart. I don't know whether the local council committee report I'm writing at home on Xmas Eve will be any good, but it's sure to be funky! I recently discovered your podcast and I'm steadily working through the archive. Every one is classy. I may never go into the office again...
Thanks for the kind words. It's very encouraging to know others enjoy this kind of music as much as I do.
