"I just got a bit inspired and had a free day.. so got very quickly into the vibe of imagining a chill summer night with friends and good drops in the glass :) .. ..so this is all about breezy bubbly and easy funky pleasures in the good life. Indulgent ambient, funky pop, wave and a bit of Japanese vibes. Even threw in some decadence with the master of just that, Serge Gainsbourg, in the end hehe.” - @telephones

We welcome you our third contribution to our mix series by New York's very own- Lloyd (@enterthelloyd).  Lloyd has been a favorite here at Homage and just about everywhere. He can be seen playing in various clubs and spaces in New York such as Magick City, Good Room, Public Records, and can be heard regularly on The Lot Radio. His music taste ranges from..… well…. everything you can think of. Lloyd plays it all and is a perennial wild card! We were able to meet up with him during our trip to New York and got the opportunity to ask a few questions about his musical roots, influences, and DJ’ing.

NTS – Doing Time (Again) w/ Asger Behncke

Hailing from Philadelphia, Shawn, Alex, and Brian have been consistently putting out some of the most wonderful mixes out there. With an incredible ear for all sort of genres and a pallet that is deeper than the Mariana trench, they only went and smashed our expectations with this mix for 5918mins. Get ready for soothing soft rock,  slow jams, sleazy funk, and upbeat disco amongst many other things. (If you are in luck you might even get some of those juicy IDs, but there already is a line for that :))  
Thank you Universal Cave !

And now, a little bit of JAZ

John Zahl, also known as JAZ, is a DJ and record collector based in New York, USA, well-known for his eccentric edits and oddball mixes. We managed to connect with John after he'd arrived back in NYC after a few months spent travelling.

His mix, which was actually recorded nine years ago for Sanpo Disco on NTS Radio, features many of his all-time favourite records. He tells us these are songs that he still loves, and which remain in constant rotation. We'd like to mention a few of the tracks, starting with the lovely slo-mo/Italo disco record 'Non Ricordo, Ma Piangendo', B-side of a rare 7" by Giancarlo Aspromonte. Pit Troja's 'Der Voodoo Mann' from 1985 can only be described as German hip-hop over a Moroder-esque bass-line, wonderfully eccentric, as advertised! The late great Björn Holm's 'Tid At Stå Stilla' from his 1984 LP Bortom Gränsernas Hav, takes us into Swedish synth-pop territory. The mix features a few of JAZ's own edits, including 'Cloud Worship' which has to be one of our favourite edits of all time, just superb. This is an exceptionally well put-together mix, and despite the wide range of material, it flows perfectly and naturally, as a good eclectic mix should do.

Check out his brand new 12" edit release on the Death On Wax label:

Another vinyl EP featuring some more top-shelf edits is forthcoming on the Pinchy & Friends label, and a compilation album entitled Forbidden Fruit is also in the works with Portuguese label Secrets Of Sound, so be sure to check that out too when it's released.

Big thanks to JAZ for his kind permission to include this awesome mix in The Sunrise Mixtapes

“I recorded this mix in a jet lagged but inspired state. There are a few tracks in here I’ve been dying to put somewhere, and a few fun ones I picked up along the way whilst overseas. I’m currently obsessed with steel guitar and harmonica solos in dance music so there’s a funny americana twang at points. With a healthy dose of dub underlying everything of course. Hope you enjoy.“
