NEW: Les Sins - Grind out 18 March on Jiaolong

STREAM / DL: DJ CTZN V41N Stars & Rockets Mix 03.03.04

I was delving into the nether regions of my physical collection the other day and I found the master of quite possibly my best ever recorded DJ Mix. It’s a mix of soul, funk, hip hop, beats and grooves. I haven’t got the tracklisting together yet was too far into the groove the first listen round. If you know any of them please leave a comment.

STREAM / DL: DJ Jazzy Jeff + Mick Boogie: "Summertime 2"

The follow-up to the highly successful @DJJAZZYJEFF215 x @MICKBOOGIE "Summertime" mixtape. It's still March but it sure feel like Summer and these grooves really hit the spot.

STREAM: THEHOTLUNCH by Derrick Carter

For his mix, Derrick has taken more of a soul and disco approach, creating a eulogy for the lunchtime mixes that he used to avidly tune-in to on Chicago local radio. But this is a story best told by Derrick himself:

'Back in the '80s, WBMX radio here in Chicago used to play a LOT of mixes: there'd be the regular "Friday Night Live - Ain't No Jive Chicago Dance Party"; the standard Saturday night mixes from 10:00 - 4:00; the after work or rush hour mix; and my fav, "The Hot Lunch Mix".

Coming in at noon every weekday, it was a nice little bit of heat to break up the monotony at Walther Lutheran High School. I used to have a lunch period followed by study hall right around that time of the day, so I'd sneak and listen to it while either eating or pretending to do homework. The mixes were always friendly (since it WAS broadcast radio, there was no swearing). And they were usually more on the song and groovy tip than some of the more jacking stuff played at night or on the weekends.

Using that as my main focus, I decided to go on a disco & classics trip, which I think will work lovely if you want to listen to it while eating lunch at your desk, walking to get some grub, or just sitting on a bench and watching the rest of the world do its thing.

I hope y'all enjoy it.'

ALBUM REVIEW: The Haggis Horns 'Keep On Movin' out now on First Word

The Haggis Horns have a got a rocket in their pocket and they're funking it up but is that enough to make a truly classic album. Well in this case sadly not but that does not mean that this is not worth the entrance fee. This genre specific album keeps to it's roots and is as funky as hell. Individually these tracks all stand on their own. As a collective it's a wee bit same-y and monotonous but enjoyable no the less and if you like your funk brass heavy then look no further.

This is a must have for any funk fan and backroom deejays will be creaming themselves over this one. Head straight to 'The Snarf Dance' 'The Jerk' and 'The Way Of The Haggis' for instant satisfaction.

3/5
