Because of our weekly 2-hour radio show, making and releasing mixes is something we don't get around to often. They tend to require too much energy and often end up feeling ephemeral, a drop in a bucket that's already full to the brim.

This 5.5 hour mix is a live recording from us, Paul Raffaele & Barbie Bertisch, DJing at 718 Sessions on Sunday November 21, 2021, a gig we recently played that meant a lot to us. Benny Soto and Danny Krivit will celebrate their 19th anniversary next week and the party has long served as a beacon of light in our world: a place to learn, be with chosen family, release the pressure and experience joy.

This lineup was originally booked for March 22, 2020 but it was cancelled due to COVID. Luckily, the same lineup was revived for the party's return to indoor dancing, taking place at Good Room in Brooklyn. This night was particularly special because it was the first time we would play 718 Sessions, our favorite party, as a duo.

In a pivot from what one might expect from our sets, we made a conscious effort not to play any Garage or Loft classics to widen the musical offering of the party and avoid overlap with Danny in the main room. Some mixes are great, some aren't, but in a bit of a protest to today's world digital perfection, we've kept it all in there and serves as a record for one of our favorite nights DJing together ever.

We recorded line in from the mixer but also the sounds of the room, blending music and crowd together and resulting in what you'll hear throughout the mix. It's an effort to capture some of the room's energy and not just a collection of songs one after the other.

Our style is representative of an amalgamation of the DJs we grew up listening to and studying, most intensely: Joaquin 'Joe' Claussell, François Kevorkian, Danny Krivit, Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy, Louie Vega, Dope Jams, Theo Parrish, but there are many more. Thank you for the inspiration.

SWR004 Funky Drummer (Make Me Sweat) Jorun Bombay Edit (Snippet)

I've been seriously into Boogaloo and 60's latin soul music since I was a college radio dj. Years ago, back in the 90's, I was walking near Times Square and glanced into a dumpster to find case after case of records being thrown out from an old dance studio that had gone out of business. The dance studio must have been hot in the latin disco era and had fallen on hard times. Workers were ripping out the walls and light fixtures.

In the record cases there were impossibly rare 7 inch records from groups like Joe Bataan, Johnny Zamot, Joe Cuba, Salsoul Orchestra, Pete Terrace, Ray Barretto and more. They were all impeccably kept in heavy duty cardboard sleeves, alphabetized and labeled. I had my friend guard the records securely while I quickly flagged a cab and loaded it's trunk full. It was the score of a lifetime. 

I made this mix tape shortly thereafter in my small Hell's Kitchen apartment and I like to bring it out when the weather starts to get hot. Hope you like it and if you do, please download and share. Keep the music alive!

Really excited about my upcoming tour of Europe and the UK through June-September 2013.
I've never put up an LNTG DJ mix on Soundcloud before but thought it might give you a taste of what to expect at my live shows.
It's a free DL but if you would 'like' my Facebook page [if you haven't already] it will be a great way of keeping you up to date with news, events and pics while I'm on the road.
