Mayer Hawthorne vs PillowTalk - The Makings of A Lover 'Edit' (Feat. The Festivals)

I love Mayer Hawthorne, and this mashup is pitch perfect. Sorry I have been away for a bit, but I will be posting a bunch more this summer as my day job winds down.

Trouble Funk Feat Kurtis Blow - Im Chillin (Morlack RE-BEEF) Free DL

We have an EP in the works from Morlack, which will feature a really great Go-Go edit and 2 funk monsters and a future go-go remix from Rockmaster Rus B. To celebrate this announcement Morlack has slipped us this re-beef of "Im chillin" which is nothing ground-breaking, but just a nice hard beat under the original to make it sound a bit more updated for the new club set.

Mr Jelly "Herb" Cult Music Free Limited Time Download

Mr. Jelly (AKA Totalcult) has decided to give away his re-rub of Herbie Hancock called simply "Herb" for free. I loved the song so much I used it to open our mix Jupiter A.M Gold dj mix. Anyway, the whole release is pure class and I have been recently playing out "Vibe Together" as I love the way it bumps. Grab the download below and then check out the whole release as it quite worth checking out.

The fifth release on Cult Music sees disco freak Mr Jelly getting his tapes in a loop with a series of deeply groovy disco and space funk edits. From the sleazy synth vibes of 'Falling In Dub' to the epic slo-mo chug of the Herbie Hancock-sampling 'Herb', this is quality product for discerning dancefloors.

Lowman New Zealand Funk

After all the craziness in New Zealand I was thinking about this producer I know Lowman, whom lives in Auckland, New Zealand. Also known as Elton McAleer, Lowman is a sample based producer that I have been following for a while. His songs are sample based and I love the way he keeps his production so loose, raw and soulful. I found out about Lowman from his release with Sleeve on Freestyle Records a couple of years back. Back in the day when Myspace was going, he had an account and he would post these really well done tracks and edits. I downloaded 2 Stevie Wonder remixes from him back when he was posting songs on there that are just killer. I have been begging him for years to let me put em out, but it never worked out for whatever reason. Below I posted a link to his newest remix and mash-up he posted on Soundcloud. I suggest you dig up his past releases and dig for his mp3's online, you will thank me later.

Also wanted to say that I hope your well and your peeps are doing okay. Much Respect

Neighbour & Think Tank "Photosynth" (Rockmaster Rus B Remix) 100 Free DL's

I have been getting asked about this Night Owl remixes release, I guess it slipped underneath some people's radar. Check it, it's a bit different flavor than what we normally release. I'm giving away 100 free downloads of my remix, but check the other remixes on there. The Zoe's Raygun remix is super dope.

Toro y Moi's "Still Sound" Zig Zag House Mix Free Download

When I first heard Toro Y Moi's "Still Sound" I was an instant fan. His label held a remix contest and while I liked many of the remixes none of them really were any better than the original. I did really like this Zig Zag remix which kept all the elements and sped them up to house speed. Nothing groundbreaking, but then again why change it up when the original parts were so well done. Also below is a link to his new video for New Beat. His new album drops on February 22nd, you can stream the whole thing now at the Urban Outfiters blog.

Hush Puppies

From the second release on Funk Weapons, Hush Puppies really helped us define where we wanted our sound to go. We put the record out in 2002, and distributed it with Downtown 161 whom never paid us by the way. Anyway, we were really trying to push the break beats a bit more and move away from the 4/4 of our earlier releases. I think we even pitched this to a couple of labels only to hear they would rather us do another Sol En La Noche. I have no idea of how well it sold since the distro wouldn't even return our calls, but I do see the vinyl out every once in a while.

Break Even

The wife and I went out to see Black Swan last night, and we were blown away with it. I really think Darren Aronofsky is one of the best writer / director's out right now. The movie really is an experience beyond just the dialog and images, he somehow takes you into the mind of the lead character and messes with you. So, in honor of such a cool and dark movie I decided to post a darker tune today called "Break Even" from Sketch.

AIM - Concentrate

My hommie Dj Soup was in town recently and we swapped a bunch of music, I ran across an awesome AIM track in this thick pile of music and it made me long for some more AIM. I dug out the record, but figured instead of ripping some music I would see if it was available on MP3. To my pleasure, Amazon had all of his releases and even some for free, so I suggest getting on there and grabbing those. Anyway, Concentrate was a huge song for my crew when it came out. I think we all played this record to death and I sort of forgot about it. Well, I'm glad to say I have it and it's in my crate now for those special occasions when song like this needs to be played. Now it's time to dust off those old Backini songs, which would mix well with this.

Hope your having a wonderful holiday, I know I am enjoying the day off.

Digable Planets got it going on

I was blown away by the first Digable Planets album, it came out when I was in High School and it was something that was on instant rotation in my Sony Walkman cassette player from the moment I got it. I was such a fan that when they came to Colorado for their first tour, I was the second person in line to see the show at the Gothic. This show was also one of the main reasons I became a dj, as this was one of the first times I saw King Britt on the one's and two's handling business. They fell off shortly after the second album, but I found myself pulling out Reachin' from time to time and listening to it would just flood my brain with those old feelings I had when I first heard it. A good friend of mine brought them up the other day on Facebook, so I decided to see if there were any remixes out there that I had not heard yet. Well I found a couple, but I'm going to drop just these two gems on you today. I really like the smooth keys of the Choongum remix, they really transform the track to a different level. Beyond Z take "jettin'" strip out the vocals and do almost a smooth jazz cover of the track, but it still retains enough of the original to make it recognizable. Check em out and holla at me if you got any other remixes of DP I should know about. Peace

Wicked Lester "Heartbreaker" Remix Free Download

Wicked Lester are dope, these guys have been doing as long as we have been at it and they just continue to kill it. Formed back in 1998 by DJ Vinyl Ritchie also known as Scott Arkwell and studio wonder boy Brian Carson, Wicked Lester make a ton of music in whatever style they deem worthy. Back in 2007 we put out an EP by the boys called the "Heartbreaker EP", and we never put it out digitally. They wanted to include the songs on an album and so we let them retain the rights and we were just happy to recoup our money back on the vinyl and pay them a little bit.

Well the other night, I went back and listened through the EP and I was struck by how fun the whole EP is, I still drop "Suga, Suga" from time to time and have been known to drop Heartbreaker when the mood strikes. On Heartbreaker I really like the way Big Stuff delivers his vocals, he has a great voice and a smooth tone that is truly original. In fact I like his voice so much that I had him guest on a track on the upcoming AGFA album. Anyway, go check out some Wicked Lester and Big Stuff if you get a chance, these are great dudes that produce some amazing music and they fully deserve any support you can give them.

The Joint (Oldskool Mix) Free DL from BadboE

Our hommie BadboE just gave away this little number today, he did a pretty good job of making it all work together. He flips Sugar Hill, Cheryl Lynn, Tom Browne and a lil Tupac all together that makes for a nice little cut and paste type remix. Which for some reason reminds me of a gig I did at Policy in DC a while back, anyway I was playing this awesome cut and paste thing that DJ B.Cause did and some girl came up and asked if I could play some rap. I knew what she wanted, but decided to play a full set of old school hip hop, which elicited many more requests for something "newer". I really don't miss those gigs, as I felt like I was just destroying my ears for no good reason for people who didn't really give a crap unless they are hearing the new Black Eyed Peas.

Junk Funk Express Sardines

Check out this cool edit of Trouble Funk from Sloppy Seconds and this nice short edit of Sardines. Being from the DC area means I got that Go-Go rhythm in my bones, and it was a sweet surprise to find some nice edits up here in Soundcloud. Now it's my turn to get busy on some Go-Go edits for my upcoming edits EP.

Do The Al Naafisyh (Super Dude)

Sometimes you dig through soundcloud and you find nothing, other times you just keep hitting on great stuff. I usually just send myself the links that I think are interesting and give them a listen later when I am home and can really scrutinize them. Well tonight I found two fine remixes courtesy of the artists themselves via soundcloud. Here are the goods, first up we have a cool remix from Mr Fudge, of do the right thing, check out his crews soundcloud page as they have a couple of other interesting downloads you might want to scoop up. Lastly we have an electro remix from Mr. Bird, of Marc Hype and Jim Dunloop's version of Al Naafiysh (The Soul).

Lucek Oblatywacz - Wet Panties (Free Download)

I have no idea what this song is actually called, but for some reason I called it Wet Panties. I used this song as the first song on the AGFA podcast 2 mix. I love the way she blends breaks with her edits, they are a bit lo-fi but the funk still shines thru. I suggest digging deeper into Lucek's music if you can find any. I was lucky enough to have one of my bro's hand me off a cd of her tunes a while back.

Basement Freaks - Something Freaky - Radio Edit Free Download

Basement Freaks have a new EP out on Jalapeno Records, called Something Freaky. It's a great song and I had been dropping it in my sets, but I was really impressed with this new Max Sedgley remix. The boys at Jalapeno have given me permission to drop the radio edit for you guys, but I would seek out the extended mix and remixes if you like funky breakbeat with a bit of that freaky Prince flavor.
