Episode #088 - I Feel Electric

(103 downloads)

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

On this week’s podcast: Funk, Disco, Breaks, Boogie, House

I let the songs play a bit longer than usual this week, and I’m not sure if it’s because I was lazy or if I was especially feeling these tracks…

Anyway, we get going with some classic funk from Deep Heat and the legendary Bernard Purdie before hearing some new Jazzanova material. We then go back in time for a few minutes to hear “People” by Ellipsis, which is such an amazing song and feels right for these times.

After that, we hear a sick little disco edit of Kanye West’s “Love Lockdown”, then a fantastic nudisco gem complete with some good synth and Feist supplying the vocals. Then it’s onto a really nice breaks track from the Funk Weapons label—perfect for the dancefloor. We keep the boogie sound going with The Snapp, then return to some music released earlier this year by Clyde.

It all comes to a wrap with a sick and wobbly house track from Sinden, and a nice collaboration featuring Santogold, Julian Casablancas (from the Strokes) and Pharell called “My Drivethru”.

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.
