I wanted to create a thread where people could leave mixes that move them without cluttering the “Mix You Keep Coming Back To”
thread which is a little narrower in purpose.
Over here, if you listened to something and loved it, post it!
Ran through this twice in the last couple of days- this dude definitely doesn’t love having his sets recorded and this one of the most sterling examples online of how he gets down-
I don’t even know if I have words for how much I love this mix. I just know that in the frequent times when the pandemic and winter gray skies have left me on the floor this never fails to pick me back up-
This was on Worldwide FM yesterday morning, it’s Gilles Petersen doing his top 20 UK Psych Prog Jazz from 1968-74. The only one that I knew and own was Gong, I recognised Traffic from Winwood’s voice but didn’t know the tune and had to nab it immediately, I’m surpised at how funky much of it is!
Oh also this is the kind of thing that fairly boggles the mind and makes it hard to say the internet is all bad when more accurately it’s kind of the best AND worst invention of all time. The idea that someone had hours of pre-Public Enemy Spectrum City and was kind enough to share it is amazing-
Wanna feel old ? Subtract your age by twenty. Sort of a Westwood flavour with big hiphop tunes but he’s done his homework with really clever mixing tricks and what have you…
People like to complain about his eq happy ways but when he’s on he’s as on as anybody and he puts a real narrative together in his sets and has fantastically wide music knowledge.
This was a revelation. Roughly contemporaneous with when Conmen and Ken Sport started doing similar tapes but Diamond D and on big hour mixshow dropping David Axelrod and whatnot was that new next.
Oh and FYI, there is no guest list tooooooniiiiiite!
You know those sets where a guy plays a hundred records you’ve never heard before and plays them in a way you couldn’t play them if you premeditated for a century? I know this mix is infamous in certain corners of the internet but to me it’s a must listen if you have ears-
One day I will meet the mysterious Yebo and buy him a drink and thank him for having one of the most mind-boggling tape collections and fucking sharing it.
thanks for the JC not heard that before…
