BEST OF 2013 PT 1

Here it is! Part One is now enjoyable on demand. Part Two’s playlist is up and possibly my greatest show ever in the history of being on radio! Hold tight for that stream. But this one was a great way to reflect back on all the releases that might be under the radar, above the radar, slept on’s and recent finds of old classics that got love on my show on Monday nights.  This one was super fun! Hope you dig!

After a wild weekend at the residencies, it was super nice to hold down the fort on the airwaves, make some tea, turn down the lights and put the needle on the record.  Kicked things off with this cool cut from Nickelus F. Also peep the new cut from Japanese hip hop group Gagle as they flip the classic 80’s Spandeu Ballet song. Sango and Toro Y Moi get remixed and peep the new Moby, Nightmares on Wax and much more!  You can also download the first set here.  Also peep my latest podcast with Kissey (formerly Kissey Asplund) for a pretty direct chat about journey as an artist transitioning into NYC night life. Pretty open and candid!

Played this last night on KCRW and boy oh boy did it give me the goosebumps! I mean the serious goosebumps! I had originally planned on playing one track this week and another the next but it was just so good I had to play em back to back! Aloe Blacc fronts Roseaux. More info on this band here. Let me know what you think!

Roseaux-cover

Every time I see Miguel we crack jokes about our first time meeting at a small spot on Cahuenga and Hollywood Blvd. Tokyo was the spot and I use to lug my turntables and play to a great fun crowd. Miguel was our guest artist and we just hit it off. I then played a show with him at the Key Club where he would seeing to tons and tons of woman. I knew right then and there this brother would take off.  When Aloe Blacc and Exile were my guests on my KCSN days they raved about Miguel. It’s great to see Miguel gain some love by a wide audience and still put out some great quality music!  Follow him on Twitter and get hip to his new sounds!
