Thought I’d kick it off with some house this week on the ‘diet. I didn’t even notice I played the Storm Queen track twice, albeit different remixes — I gotta pay more attention! In my defense, the two tracks were mislabeled and thankfully don’t actually sound all that alike. Rocking out a double dose of Paul Woolford again this week also, with one of his house remixes, and more breaks-y/garage-y type stuff from his Special Request moniker. Then a bit of UKG before mixing in some half-time mellower stuff.

Linking on from last week’s show’s last track, we kicked it off with some Delegation before riding that beat for a few tracks. Then into some hip hop for a while and then we slowly added more gas to the whole thing.

Another 2 hour Dubble Bounce takeover. Downtempo to kick off the show tonight with LA phenom Banks, then rolling up through some hip hop beats. Then we drop into some proper drum’n’bass, because I’ve been on a huge d’n’b kick of late (not too sure why). Then into some great new work from Special Request before dropping back into some dance music and chilling it right out for the last couple tracks of the show.

I felt totally unprepared for this show, and kind of threw it together. I’ve been sick all week, and kind of hard on myself so a couple of questionable song picks and a totally flubbed a mix halfway through the show (though I’ve since removed it in post – yay!) left me feeling less than great about the show. Some days, I walk out of the radio station totally stoked on the show I’ve put together, while other weeks feel more like ‘meh’. This show was definitely one of the latter.

It’s amazing how quick that feeling can turn around though. A few nice comments or emails turn things around really quick, so thanks to those who found parts of this show enjoyable and mentioned it to me.

I came across this video in my internet travels this week, and the soundtrack totally grabbed me between the ears, so I had to track it down and share it with you. The video itself is a fun little slice of sunshine as well, as someone puts New York’s bicycle sharing program to work. Given that we’re experiencing such a great late summer, it was nice to start the show with such a great summer vibe song. And ultimately, there was no reason to change up that lovely vibe, so we spent the show driving around town with the windows down, and took a bit of time to sit on the stoop and pop a few brews — basically, just taking it easy musically and playing some mellow late-summer jams.

This week, we kicked it off with a bit of hip hop, taking the time to showcase a few hip hop acts who were coming to town next week, namely Action Bronson and Danny Brown and Joey Bada$$. In the end Danny Brown didn’t make it across the border, but I heard both shows were live anyways. Longtime Action Bronson fan here, so any excuse to play one of his tracks is a good one. I can’t front on Strictly 4 my Jeeps, since I’ve been a big fan of EPMD’s Rampage since I bought Business as Usual on tape oh so many years ago (heck, I even played it on the show a few months back). In this interview with some ex-Much Music’s VJ, Action talks a bit about his Strictly 4 my Jeeps track and how it came together with LL at about at the 3:33 mark. The whole interview is actually pretty decent.

After the hip hop, we wind it up quickly into some dance beats. My old DJ partner Shidoshi was in town visiting from overseas, so I must have got a bit nostalgic since I dropped a few classic tracks from our early 2000’s sets, namely the Chicago and Kings of Tomorrow tracks.

Starting it off uptempo, then some funk, then some hip hop.

Not so brand new old work from the man Madlib to kick off the show today. From there, it’s some nice hip hop beats, a little bit of dancehall, and an old school jungle rinse out.

Proper.

Kicking it off in the first hour with some nice classic hip hop and paying tribute to George Duke. Then in the second hour, we wind things up as we take over the Dubble Bounce before closing out with some drum’n’bass.

Crazy how sometimes songs can bring us right back to a certain point in time, or remind us of specific people in our lives. On the Road Pops right before this show, I played Positive Force’s We Got The Funk, and that song always reminds me of a special person from an earlier time in my life. Similarly for Metro Area, and Caught Up especially. The minute I hear that track, I’m telegraphed back to earlier years spent hanging out at The Mercury (I said the Embassy on air, but this was incorrect. To remind me of times at the Embassy, you’d have to have Al Testa and Dean Clarke playing in the Red Room, and I’d have to be waaayyyy too drunk). I spent a lot of Friday and Saturday nights the Mercury, hanging out, listening to Pete Emes, Al Testa, Rob Faust, or Sideshow Sid, or whoever happened to be playing at the time. I even had the chance to fill in for them every now and then, and definitely loved the vibe of the original Mercury location.

Similarly, Gorillaz’ Dare, Pet Shop Boys West End Girls, Jeru’s Come Clean, Nas’ Life’s a Bitch – All songs which bring me back to a moment in time in my life. Hopefully some of these tracks can imprint their own memories on your psyche.
