Episode #101 - Secrets

(79 downloads)

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

This week, we start of with some soulful sounds from Henson with “Part Time Lady”, Liza Minelli (!?!) with a fantastic version of “Use Me”, and Stevie Wonder’s version of “Light My Fire”. From there, we get into some good house music by MXM, Roland Appel, and Stee Downes.

We take a dip into nujazz with “Il Sorpasso” before taking a sharp turn into some killer 80s disco with the classic “Southern Freeez”. Then it’s onto a blend of Estelle’s “American Boy” that I’m really feeling right now by Record Peddler, which mixes in nicely with a soulful rare groove gem from The Impressions. We finish up with a little funk breaks courtesy of Ruckus Roboticus.

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.
