Tucker & Bloom Presents: Welcome to New Orleans mixed by Personify

Welcome to New Orleans: A tribute to New Orleans Funk and Soul is the work of New Orleans native, DJ Personify. Raised in the Crescent City, the die-hard Hip-Hop fan learned early on that many of the samples he discovered originated in New Orleans. He soon became infatuated with the Funk and Soul music recorded there and has spent the better part of the last twenty years immersed in the culture of those records. Personify’s passion for New Orleans' music and culture extends to the present day and is manifested in this DJ mix masterpiece. Lovingly compiled, all of the artists featured on the mix are native to New Orleans with the exception of Hugo Montenegro who plays alongside Al Hirt (a New Orleans native) and The Headhunters, who are included here because of their work with Bill Summers (a life-long New Orleanian). All songs and samples used on this mix were recorded from vinyl sources. You can find a track list and record release notes on the blog at http://littlebigthingscrew.com/audio/tucker-bloom-presents-welcome-to-new-orleans-mixed-by-personify/. Limited edition CDs with killer artwork and packaging designed by Case Bloom of Tucker & Bloom are also available for pre-order at http://personify.bandcamp.com/. The CDs are highly limited, so be sure to cop one before they are all gone!

We hope you enjoy and are inspired to go learn more about New Orleans music and culture!

Welcome to New Orleans is the first in a new series of DJ mixes curated by Tucker & Bloom. Focused on regional music, each mix will feature a DJ and record collector who specializes in the musical history of their town.

J Dilla Block Party: 50 Donut Salute | BBC 6 Music


This is an extended version of a mix broadcast on BBC 6 Music, 22nd Feb 2025, celebrating the first phase of Wu-Tang Clan solo & side projects, three decades later.

At the end of 1993 we entered the 36 Chambers. In the period following, before Wu-Tang Clan's second LP, the solo projects of the hip hop killa bees really took flight, initially with the RZA's side-project Gravediggaz, and Method Man's debut LP 'Tical' in 1994. Things really heated up in March 1995, with the 'Return to the 36 Chambers' from the late ODB, quickly followed by Raekwon's 'Only Built 4 Cuban Linx' in Summer and GZA's sophomore album 'Liquid Swords' in Winter, culminating with Ghostface Killah's 'Ironman' in 1996. 30 years on, BobaFatt mixes up a selection of 36 beats from these six Staten Island albums, Block Party style.

Nb: Parents, even though this one's extended it still includes clean versions throughout, because Wu-Tang is for the children, after all.
