This week turned out pretty good, despite some ill-advised pitchy tricks. Starting out this evening with some really mellow hip hop before winding it up right at the end with some house music for the last 15 minutes or so. Ah, those house tracks brings back the good old days of Sole Sessions at the Night Gallery with my homeboy Shidoshi. Nearly brings a tear to my eye! I’m gonna have to start playing more house after this. Seriously, 2-minute blends with dead easy intros and outros?! I’ve missed you! I haven’t ridden mixes that long in forever…

Enjoy:

Pre-Funding drive edition of the show, so I thought I’d hit you up with a selection of tunes which I’ve really been digging of late. Falty DL’s Party, 2000F & J Kamata’s You Don’t Know What Love Is, Fred Wesley’s House Party, and The Hot 8 Brass Band’s ridonkulous cover of Marvin Gaye’s Sexual Healing have all been on pretty heavy rotation here at Beat Diet headquarters.

Aye, Caliente! Some latin to kick it off this week, then some old school breaks before chilling things down towards the end.

This week, we start off with some afrobeat before taking a terribly mixed detour over to some Stone Roses before recovering with some hip hop. Marking the passing of the great Mr Magic, we let the old school rock for a little bit before bringing you back to recent times with some newer hip hop. Apathy’s True Love has been my favourite song of the moment, fo sho.

Drum’n’bass to start before dropping into some downtempo and hip hop beats, then into some dubstep and then some electro to end off the show.

I’ve been a bit slow keeping the site up to date, so I thought I’d try and make up for it with a few bonus mixes. This one’s from earlier this month when my man Cosm asked me to fill in for his usual Sunday show, Mental Illness. Gotta give my man props because he manages to fill 3 hours of hip hop each and every week with more enthusiasm for the music than seems possible, always coming correct with great tracks, and he keeps up on the new stuff and the local scene a lot better than I manage to do so… So it’s always an honor and a lot of fun when I can take some time on a Sunday afternoon and play some hip hop tracks on his show. So while Cosm was filming a video in Kananaskis Country with Moka Only and Teekay for Dragon Fli Empire, I was playing a few golden era hip hop joints as well as some great new stuff from Elaquent and some local stars — Just how I like it. Hope you do too.

It had been a while since I had done a mostly funk show, so that’s what ended up happening tonight. Some nice mellow longer funk tracks to start out the show, before the typical DJ affliction of attention deficit disorder started taking over the breaks started coming a bit quicker.

Playing a bit of uptempo this week with some nice house before dropping into some electro and baltimore beats, rounding out the set with some dubstep.

Building on the subject of perfection, I had a funny exchange with DJ Shidoshi after tonight’s show. He was listening to CJSW for a few minutes while driving between a few uptown watering holes and happen to catch the one mix I flubbed hard during this week’s show (that O’Jays track can be a bitch… Like many pre- click track funk songs, the tempo definitely wanders on you). How embarrassing! Having one of my DJ buddies, who almost never listens to my show, happen to catch me with my pants down… Ah well, such is life.

I strive for (technical) perfection in my mixes and my shows. It’s a high bar to set for myself, which I seldom, if ever, achieve. Take this week’s show for example. I managed to flub at least three mixes throughout the night. Nevertheless, I had a blast putting it together. Hope you enjoy!
