No show or tracklist as Fade to Base’s Crooka takes over while I’m out of town.

I’ve played Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti Feat Dam-Funk’s Baby a few times before – that track just slays me. It’s actually a cover of a track originally from Donnie & Joe Emerson, an album which has some truly so bad it’s good cover art. The song was also recently revisited by Hyperdub recording artists Dean Blunt and Inga Copeland.
Then we slowly wind it up through some Mr Scruff joints and then some funk gems before getting into Jamie XX’s latest, a nostalgia-tinged hommage to a rave scene of days gone by. I love the feel of this one. A few more nice funk and house tracks to end it off.

I’m ‘borrowing’ this picture from http://www.rbmaradio.com/shows/masters-at-work-live-at-103-harriet–2
Got into listening to some Masters at Work um, at work. Caught some of their Boiler Room sets and it got me reminiscing about their older work. Back when you had to pick through racks and racks of records for songs, and you couldn’t just preview them with a click of a mouse, the MAW remix imprint was a sure sign that you were getting some quality music on that there 12″. Sure, sometimes a lot of their stuff sounded same same, but you were guaranteed a very high caliber remix.
So that’s what we started off with before moving through more recent house before once again slowing it down towards the end of the show. That Redinho track, tho…

Mellow hip hop joints to start it off before winding things up to dancefloor readiness.

Summertime soul then hip hop, reggae, dnb, and whatever the hell else I felt like playing this week.

Taking a few fleeting moments to pay respects to Idris Muhammad this week as we travel a nice progression from house to hip hop. The amount of well known drum breaks, and therefore hip hop songs, that owe their existence to this man is truly staggering. A giant…

Another week, another ‘diet. This week we’ve got the familiar slow climb out of downtempo hip hop beats, funk and soul, then up through some trap sounds before dancing it up towards the end. Don’t sleep on Oz’ Ta-Ku either, his Boiler Room set is pretty killer. Oh, and if you haven’t picked up this mix yet, get on that too.

Once again starting it nice and mellow before winding things up into some newer rhythms. I’m on a bit of a Kaytranada kick these days, just like everyone else it seems. No wonder, that dude is making amazing music. His two tracks here and the Sebastian track that precedes them are straight jacked from his Montreal Boiler Room set (something something about DJs stealing).
While you’re checking out new music, be sure to peep the Double Agent Media stuff on Calgary’s own Make Believe records imprint.

Pretty happy with how this show turned out. Hip hop through breaks on to house. Plus some respect paid to some fallen luminaries. I’m even going to overlook that moment when I smacked the needle out the groove and on to the record label…
