Episode #055 - Champagne

(136 downloads)

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

This week’s mix is all jazzy hiphop loops. These are strictly out of the ordinary instrumentals. Like all my mixes, this was a ‘one taker’, so you’ll hear a few small errors. It’s more about the music in the mixes rather than the mix itself, and these are all outstanding tracks!

Enjoy!

Episode #053 - Bearing Straight

(123 downloads)

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

This week’s mix gets going with a Brazilian jazz classic called “Nebulosa” and takes a soulful turn with a Weldon Irvine classic. The Lions bring in some bass-heavy and dubby afrobeat, and then I threw in a well-known 50s Motown classic that I heard on TV earlier in the day—it seemed like the right thing to do.

Francis Lai is next with a track that one of my listeners just loves and can’t get enough of. Then we get into a bit of R’n’B before hearing an updated version of a Bob Marley classic. After a brief dubby excursion, the mix shifts into disco with the next two tracks, and then a vibes-filled break off a recent compilation courtesy of Mr. Thing.

Hebrew Rogers brings some funky rock to the mix before we hear some dirty 70s Jamaican disco from Barry Waite. After that, I threw in a re-edit of a Brazilian jazz track before ending off with a mad Bollywood break.

Enjoy!

My Profile

Driftwood

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.
