Episode #050 - Dreams

Welcome to another episode of Sounding Out The City...

This week’s mix gets started off with a spacey downtempo beat courtesy of Brenk off the Melting Pot Label, which puts out some amazing music by dudes like DJ Day, Devil McDoom, and A-ko. Check the MySpace pages of those guys to hear what I’m talking about.

Anyway, I mixed in a track by Phat Kev after that, and I have to thank my man Richie in the UK for sorting that one out. Sweet tune! The Free Design is next with a jazzy folk-funk track I recently discovered, and then it’s a rare groove boogie-ish classic from 1979 by 9th Creation.

Some amazing late 60s obscure soul is next by the Dynamic Tints off the Twinights Lunar compilation, then it’s the old school hiphop classic by the legendary Eric B & Rakim “Don’t Sweat The Technique”, followed by the humourous and stylish Ugly Duckling. A hot funk track is next by Billy Garner, which was sampled by DJ Day for his incredible “Gone Bad” back in late 2005 (December, I think).

After that, I threw in a deep and kind of crazy African disco tune by The Coffins before mixing in an edit of the Rick James party classic “Give It To Me”. The transition was quite shabby as it was done without a monitor—not a wise move on my part, but I’m not prefect.

Justice’s well-known and well-played techno-disco track came in after that, then it was a couple of deep house joints by the Motor City Drum Ensemble.

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.
