I know, I know - what the hell have you been doing? Well, short answer - I've been busy. Long answer, I don't really have time for that - too busy
Anyway here is an old mix I made back in T.O. that features some Fila Brasilia, Estero, Coltrane, some old Polish funk from the 60s, a track that RZA lifted for Ghostface's Daytona 500, Tosca, Lord Quas and Alice Coltrane with Pharoah Saunders
Enjoy bitches

It's September and we have some aural treats for you. Quantic has a new album out and it is PHENOMENAL. Taking his Central/South American influences and mashing it up with reggae he certainly delivers. His track Death of the Revolution starts it off with Smith & Mighty's remix of Big Youth's Jim Screechy coming in behind. Natural Self also has a new album out and it is equally as tasty as his Tru Thoughts counter part. His The Rising with Andreya Triana channels some tribal burning making way

Hey what happened to March? I have no idea, I guess we skipped it. No worries.
This April we are all over the musical map as usual. Starting it off we have a double shot of Cut Chemist. First off it's his intro to Litmus Test and following that is his track Eye on the Gold Chain. Partner in crime DJ Shadow drops in at the number 3 spot with Mashin on the Motorway. Thievery Corp give DJ Cam's Success the once over and we give it a twice over. The track started off banging and then mellows ou

2008!?! Are you serious? Wasn't it just 1998? Time flies when you keep yourself medicated - with beats that is. What did you think I was going to say? No-no-no we don't condone that type of thing but if you do find yourself at home after a couple of sodas grab your headphones and press play on our first podcast for 2008.
Starting off this year is DJ Format featuring Abdominal and D-Sisive with 3 Feet Deep, yeah sure they sort of sound like Big Daddy Kane and Em but Format's on some serious

To start off the last full month of fall(I know right!) we have Houston's very own DJ Sun, of the Soular Grooves collective, with Marksonthekeys.

Next up it's Medeski, Martin & Wood redoing Karminski Experiences track Exploration. Yes you read that right. The amazing jazz funk trio juggernaut recorded this track, too freakin cool.

Is it October already? Wasn't it just 1992 last week? Time flies when you have the funk! First thing is first; we had a complaint that last months podcast was too funky. Now we have heard a lot of strange things in our lives but if someone ever says that something is 'too funky' they better be talking about a skunk or something. If they say it about music it better be said with a wide grin and prefixed with 'Hot Damn now that is....' Music can never be too funky, if it did we would be lifti

A little while back Happy Katie made a request for our August Podcast. It was a simple one but it meant the world of difference to her and a little lady named Ella. Ella came into this world last August and we feel honoured that HK would ask us to play a song for her. Our first track of Augusts podcast, Sunshine of Your Love remix from Ella Fitzgerald is dedicated to this little lady and the two happy people whom she calls Mom and Dad. Keeping up with that 60's vibe we have Gladys Night & the P

It's July and its hot so what are you going to do? Cool off, right? Exactly. In order to really appreciate this months podcast you need to fill a bucket up with ice and Corona and head out back to your pool, your friends pool, your neighbours pool, hell a complete strangers pool. Grab a drink, drop the bucket, drop the robe, apply some sun tan lotion, press play and slip into the pool
