earlier this year, when i went to my gig in seattle, i was introduced to the lovely miss trish ocean from olympia, oregon. being the spiritual cosmic hippie type, we instantly became good friends. She explained how she does this music program where she focuses on positive messages and energy. She asked me to do a mix, i was more than happy to oblige. then she added the challenge of making it theme based. i was curious so i said ok what is it? she said "love". i'm not sure if i'm the right person for that lol. i've been single for how long? it was before the last eclipse i think?? anywho, i wasn't exactly sure if she meant love as in romance or just love for humanity, friends & all that bullshit. i figure, what's the worst thing that can happen. experience new emotions?ahhhh, good ol' sarcasm to save the day! wait till you see what happens next...



Let's start this New Year on a good note!!! (full pun intended)

cheers,
cole

DC Promo Tracks #309: Smith & Mudd feat. Quinn Lamont Luke - The Distance

One of my favourite mixes from last year orginally featured on the Youtube Channel. Strangely enough, despite being one of my favourite mixes it also got the highest percentage of thumbs down from any mix I've ever posted on the channel which just goes to prove there's no accounting for taste!

Either way, alongside all the usual funky vibes we post on the channel we've also got a few more laid back guest mixes lined up over the next 12 months with the first coming from the awesome

Dj XS Funk Lounge 2019 - Lounge Beats Mix

The third EP by Sutkērī is a blink of the idea of the silk road. This trade route lasted for centuries and is more than just a mere stream of trading goods. It connected different cultures and beliefs to each other. Travellers from far away were welcomed by the locals, who were eager to hear the newest stories from abroad. Mutual respect emerged in mutual benefits. Let this be our mantra in a globalised world.

Reverberation #350

Midnight Star - Electricity (Petko Turner's Dance Edit)

The group was formed in 1976 at Kentucky State University by trumpeter Reggie Calloway, vocalist Belinda Lipscomb, guitarist/drummer/vocalist Melvin Gentry, bassist Kenneth Gant, multi-instrumentalist Bill Simmons, keyboard player/vocalist Bo Watson and guitarist/keyboardist Jeff Cooper, as a self-contained group. They later added non-KSU student trombonist Vincent Calloway (Reginald's younger brother). A 1978 New York City showcase inspired SOLAR Records chief Dick Griffey to sign the group. They released their debut album The Beginning (1980) with some guest studio musicians. In 1981 their second album, released on Solar Records, Standing Together, reached position #54 on the U.S. R&B chart. In 1982 they released a third album, Victory.

Using elected band leader Reggie Calloway's production skills, Midnight Star hit the U.S. R&B chart with early singles "Hot Spot" and "I've Been Watching You". Drummer Bobby Lovelace joined the group in late 1982, freeing Gentry to sing and play guitar exclusively. Their fourth album, No Parking on the Dance Floor, was released in 1983, and its first single, "Freak-A-Zoid", went to number two on the U.S. Black Singles chart. Other singles from the album included "Wet My Whistle", and the title track. These singles, along with the hit album tracks "Slow Jam" (co-written by Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds) and "Electricity" led the album to double platinum status. Their next album, Planetary Invasion also went platinum and made the pop Top 20 and the number one spot on the R&B chart with its first single, "Operator". This song remains the band's only Billboard Hot 100 Top 40 hit to date.

In 1985, Kool & the Gang, Midnight Star, Shalamar and Klymaxx performed at the Marriott Convention Center in Oklahoma City. The band continued on to concerts in San Antonio and Little Rock.[1] Then in 1986 the band released their sixth album, Headlines, which was their third album to sell at least gold. It was to be their last with the Calloway brothers. Due to irreconcilable differences with the other members, Reggie was out of the group and Vincent left shortly thereafter. They achieved their biggest success in the UK with "Midas Touch", which made #8, and "Headlines", a #16 hit earlier the same year.[2] Without the Calloways (who formed the group Calloway and release an album that spawned the 1990 hit single "I Wanna Be Rich"), Midnight Star recorded two more albums, the self-titled Midnight Star and Work It Out. These two albums proved not as successful as their previous three releases, but the singles "Don't Rock the Boat" and "Snake in the Grass" did reach the top ten on the R&B singles chart. The group went on a long hiatus, though they never officially broke up.

The group reunited in 2000 with many of the original members (including all of the singers) and released the album 15th Avenue two years later. Since then, the group has toured sporadically, most recently with a lineup that includes Belinda Lipscomb, Kenneth Gant, Melvin Gentry, Bo Watson, and Bobby Lovelace, with Bill Simmons sometimes joining as well.

Based in Berlin, Eck Echo have been a platform for different forms of diffusing Latin culture heritage. Recently, they showcased the tropical electronic music scene in the German city on their Berlin – Tropisches Tor documentary, while also showing the influence of Latin music in other corners of Europe.

Now we have their first release as a label, a vinyl album with two remixes of the cult Peruvian band Los Shapis. The first of the two, is a joint effort by digital cumbia icon Tribilin Sound and Bareto guitarist Rolo Gallardo, and the second one is from the Berlin-based Los Wawis.

Both versions add layers of modern sound to the original tracks, but also respect the chicha sound that has conquered music fans worldwide, making it an essential to a respectable Latin contemporary album collection.

The Valley Mashes is now available on Bandcamp and via the Sounds and Colours shop.

Attempting to upload this again since the prior one was blocked on Mixlcoud for some reason a day after posting. The prior mix had 3 Susan Cadogan tracks at the head that played while I ran around the venue and got the sound correct. Maybe that was to much Susan together...not sure but trying again.
