Download this mix (29 min)
Welcome to another episode of Sounding Out The City...

On this week’s podcast: downtempo, rare grooves, funk, underground disco, weird shit.

We start out with some ambience from dubstep maestro Bass Clef and follow up with 2 beautifully layered beatscapes from MPM heroes A-Ko and DJ Day.
We then move onto some raregrooves and funk by Gene Chandler, The Rimshots, and Standard Of Living.

After that, we turn up the tempo with some underground disco from Mellow Madness and Sparkle. Then it’s onto some classic 1980s videogame sounds with breakbeats behind it courtesy of John Arnold. A trippy electronic ‘sound collage’ by trip-hop duo “Tipsy” comes in next, and we wrap it all up with a track from Chin Chin, and Sonara Casino.

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.
