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: Blood Orange 'Bad Girls'

Blood Orange (not pictured, he's a dude not Slutever) is about to start his European tour and we thought we'd just splash up a little reminder of how good he is to get ya in the mood.

VIDEO: Beyoncé 'Party ft. J. Cole'

The perennial warbler returns and guess what - not only is her latest track listen-able, largely due to the fact that she cuts out the warbling on this one, but it's laid back groove, reminiscent of a 90's soul track but with an 2011 update really hits the spot. J Cole adds some flavour and of course the hot girls and summer party vibe is an obvious winner.

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.'
