Welcome to another episode of Sounding Out The City... On this week’s podcast: ambience, downtempo, re-edits, soul, afrobeat, hiphop We start out with some spacey ambience from Dwilt Sharpp and Gaslamp Killer before picking it up a bit with Projection Orange and a sweet edit of a Diana Ross track. We then get into another edit, this time it's an interesting take on a Rye Rye/M.I.A. collabo. After that, we go back into the past with a killer soul track from The Impalas, which sets up another killer...forthcoming music from the amazing Fredericks Brown with a track called "Betrayal" that fuses broken-afro beats with proper soulful R & B. Sweet sound! After that, Featurecast takes an 80s dance classic and tweaks it for today's floors; then it's a monster TM Juke disco edit of Lillian Alexander's version of "Love For Sale"...deadly! We finish up with a Donald Byrd classic, a crazy left-field hiphop track by the mighty Mos Def, and then some sweet beats from Bibio.

After that, Domu remixes Broke N English's "Take It Low" for a fiery track that will burn dancefloors all over West London. Then M2J brings some dubstep/bruk beat combo with "2001" to keep things going just before a twisted disco edit of a Santogold track gets you all frantic and sweaty again. We finish up with some unexpectedness...a blazing Cavril Payne soulful track from the late 60s for the open-minded music lover...

Wed, 04 Feb 2009 12:01:00 +0000

Welcome to another episode of Sounding Out The City... This week, I play a few tracks that deserved more attention than they got when they first came out. But first, I start off with a French library lounger and follow up with some new stuff from deep house legend, Moodymann. After that, it’s Canadian hiphop off Moonstarr’s Public Transit Recordings label. Then, it’s onto more hiphop, this time from the amazing Sputnik Brown crew featuring New York’s next big thing Oxygen holding down the lyrics. These dudes are the real deal and will be blowing up real soon. Go check out their MySpace page to hear what good hiphop sounds like. We then shift into some spacey instrumental stuff with a nice collabo between Sam Irl and Dorian Concept, followed by fantastic heavy funk from The Grits, and some latin-tinged hiphop from 7 Samurai. After that, it’s 2 more tracks that deserved more shine in 2008-Brittany Bosco’s indie cut “8-Track” and Cutty Lark’s “Get Caught” off the Do Right! label. The mix comes to a close with a very rare jazz groove from People, and ends with what is perhaps my favourite house music track of all time—the legendary “New Jersey Deep”.

Wed, 24 Dec 2008 12:02:00 +0000

Welcome to another episode of Sounding Out The City... We start out with some mellow (?) dubstep from Bass Clef and an uptempo electronic genre-bender from young and talented Canadian Jesse Futerman. Then it’s more genre-defying business from The Long Lost with LA’s Flying Lotus on remix duty—wicked tune! Hot Coins comes in next with some nice electro before we hear Erykah Badu flipped by Captain Planet. A couple of DJ Day productions come after that before we catch one of Japan’s deadliest beat-makers in “Eternal Reflection” From there, we hear some sweet RnB from Wayna, beautiful Brazilian music from Trio Esperanca, and a nice bossa-fused broken beat goody from Tal M Klein. It all comes to a wrap with a couple of old grooves, including Gino Dentie’s take on Brass Construction’s classic “Movin’ On” Enjoy! ___________________ 00::Sounding Out The City Intro 01::Bass Clef – Music Will Fade Yr Poisons 02::Jesse Futerman – Step 1 03::The Long Lost – Woebegone (Flying Lotus remix) 04::Hot Coins – Dance Valet 05::Captain Planet – Cleva 06::Daily Bread – How Do You Do (Instrumental) 07::Glue – Making A Mess (DJ Day instrumental remix) 08::Bulljun – Eternal Reflection 09::Wayna – Stalking Horse 10::Trio Esperanca – Nao Aguento Voce 11::Tal M Klein – Emmy Lou’s Underwater Petting Zoo (remix) 12::Living Funk – Silver Black Summer Day 13::Gino Dentie & The Family – Movin’ On ___________________ Big shout outs to all listeners near and far!

Episode #088 - I Feel Electric

Wed, 17 Dec 2008 12:03:00 +0000

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! ___________________ 00::Sounding Out The City Intro 01::Deep Heat – Do It Again 02::Bernard Purdie – Whatcha See… 03::Jazzanova – I Can See (Kaushik Edit) 04::Ellipsis – People 05::Kanye West – Love Lockdown (B.

Wed, 10 Dec 2008 12:03:00 +0000

Welcome to another episode of Sounding Out The City... On this week’s podcast: Downtempo, Hard Funk, Hiphop, Soul, Breaks Don’t know what the weather is like in your area, but it is colder than a witch’s tit in my town. I’ve thrown in some tracks that will make you move and warm up, but we start it off nice and easy with some downtempo from Crackpot, Tipsy and Presto. From there, we heat up some greasy funk from the Grits and some fuzzy afrobeat goodness from Chico Mann (of Antibalas). Next up, it’s ODB of Wu Tang over some jazzy reggae rhythms. After that, it’s more hiphop from CL Smooth and Presto, then it’s two of the best soul tracks I’ve ever heard from Bobby Reed and Alice Clark. We finish up with a fantastic disco track from Cindy Rodriguez, a flipped Bob Marley track, and a nice break from Sunny Face. Enjoy! ___________________ 00::Sounding Out The City Intro 01::Crackpot – Tippy Tippy Toe 02::Tipsy – Nude On The Moon 03::Presto – Presto’s Groove #1 04::The Grits – Chicken Pi 05::Chico Mann – Go & See 06::Dooza – Baby, I Like It Raw 07::Presto – Part Of Greatness ft CL Smooth 08::Bobby Reed – The Time Is Right For Love 09::Alice Clark – Don’t You Care 10::Cindy Rodriguez – What You Need Is My Love 11::Bob Marley & The Wailers – Soul Shakedown (remix) 12::Sunny Face – Horny Cha Cha Cha ___________________ Big shout outs to all listeners near and far!
