Sessions 12 - Luke Mele
“Fifth and Spring”

For Sessions 12, I tapped one of LA’s finest selectors, kindred spirit Luke Mele.
~
Luke delivers a 2.5+ hour marathon — a morning-time sipper that eases into an afternoon dance delight. It’s a lush journey through summertime spiritual jazz, fusion, soul, and disco, all pulled from crates at the iconic Last Bookstore in downtown LA.
~
Over the years, Luke has spent time digging at the shop, which he says holds a very special meaning to him. Hence the name of the mix: “Fifth and Spring.”

Earth Dog with Jek @ The Lot Radio 07-31-2025

it is not me 002 w/ Center Of Light

the 6th chapter as the previous 5 chapters is education 
that a lot of alleged "House" DJs and Producers are 
obviously lacking showcasing modern, vintage and 
out of print/promo labels:

trax records, underground, house records, precision,
sunstar records, dezzarotic records, l.a. club resource, 
gherkin records, chicago connection, still music chicago,
dark entries and chiwax to productions from: 

ron hardy, felix de housecat’s 1st production, sweet d,
gene hunt, larry heard, farley jackmaster funk, virgo 4, 
x2, dmarc cantu, steve summers, boyd jarvis, juju, 
leron carson, g strings, ron morelli, terence woodard, 
delroy edwards, mutant beat dance and a new production of jakbeat to come from chicago 
with a new alias project dropping later this year 
in 2025 for a label we support.
(more news on that later)


⚠️ warning ⚠️ 
this selection covers the building blocks of the 
early dance music scene with selections of today 
and yesterday incorporating musical blueprint dubs,
a couple of vocals in between but overall: 
a raw style of basement underground tracks 
of Chicago and New York’s timeless heroes & icons 
we admire, honor and inspired by their education.

we hope this will give people the chance to 
listen to music many may have never heard 
on this side of sound that provides a provocative 
and thoughtful musical workout in your mind 
with vinyl turntables, a vintage mix console 
with an effects box and cd players.

this selection is personally dedicated 
to my beloved heart ♥️ vicki, jason, nestor, 
mark grusane, naughty wood, ron morelli,
kozmik, strangeland, alex from queens, uncle tom
and the dancers and dreamers for the continuation 
of the lessons and storytelling of chicago with 
sincerity 🎶✨

runtime: 3 hours 50 minutes

Witch

The weight of my omen
Reminds me of the language of fate
In the sound of life 
I gasp and breathe my last breath

Love within the light of dark
Kind eyes charming counterparts 
Holy monster's stolen beds
Smiling deep in their pockets
Rip the eyes from their sockets
Split their false tongues in two
Cowards under starry flags
Spitting graves, split; enslaved lies

Murder peace to bring their war
Soon our screams become their own
Flocking to our critical density
To fulfil our own destiny

My mind's lips aren't sealed shut now
Clutching a thousand secrets like pearls
Trembling with cold controlled insight
Burdened by blind eyes hiding in plain sight

Blisters on my feet stumbling through the past
On the rocks I break into order at last
A secret weapon hidden in noisy waves
Written on a path that others paved in pain

This week on the pod is the disco vibe of New York's Tim Sweeney.
