From 10.17.20 "House Shoes's sets (more like work shifts) on Twitch and the music from his label Street Corner Music have helped me maintain my sanity during the current pandemic/state of the universe. So, this episode is dedicated to some of my favorite tracks from Street Corner Music and the samples that were masterfully flipped to creating some knocking tracks. Selections from Tall Black Guy, K. Le Maestro, TUAMIE, God.Damn.Chan, Lancecape, Stro Elliot, Nottz, House Shoes, and more. Go to https://soundcloud.com/streetcornermusic and https://streetcornermusic.bandcamp.com/ and get familiar with the label if you aren't and support independent music.

QBERT THE REAL? QBERT LIVE UNKUT FRESH DOPE UNOFFISHAL SIDE B

For his third full-length release, Matt Emonson AKA Mat/Matix has remixed and mastered a tape of his 2013-2016 creations dubbed ‘850,’ an ode to his 1997 Volvo station wagon. Moved by Larry Heard’s Sceneries Not Songs Vol. 1-2, Emonson has painted his own aural landscape including batches of uptempo synth funk, street soul, g-funk, and jazzy house. Toiled over for many years, this instrumental album is the sound of a young producer discovering their unique darkened west-coast sound. In ’Mountain Mist,’ a wall of drum breaks and synths give way to a soulful guitar solo. ‘Loons’ takes a swing groove through dusty layers of classic 12 bit samples. ‘Robertson’s Jam’ is a dance floor workout of digital synth textures reminiscent of a midnight drive through the city. 850 is a nostalgic 40-minute journey to bump in the car, feel on a pair of headphones, or jam at a house party. Choose your own path.

MatMatix - 850 - Do It

Thought it was a good time to do a tribute to one of my favorite indie labels, PM Records. Listening to their music is kind of like a sci-fi-jazz-adventure, where the sound isn't easily labeled but the music is taking the listener in all kinds of directions while keeping a solid groove. Hope you dig it! 

Tracklist: Steve Grossman, Doug Riley, Stone Alliance, Elvin Jones, Stone Alliance, Steve Grossman, Pat Labarbera, Don Thompson

You gotta take me on
You gotta take me on
You gotta take me on
You gotta take me on

The beat don’t lie
So try another cry
Tell me why you sigh a hundred words
Is it really so neat
In your head meat
Is paradise just the wind that holds the birds
Why you want to lose me?
Why do you need me here… alone?

You gotta take me on
You gotta take me on
You gotta take me on
You gotta take me on

Truth
Lies

Running 
Hiding
Running, hiding
In there

Running 
Hiding
Running, hiding
In there

You call me fat
You fuck a pig inside your twat
And think the touch makes you whole
Think it means it all
But beside bedside you lay
The mirror tells the truth at the end of the day/
Me I try to grow and reflect
But you do not accept

You gotta take me on
You gotta take me on
You gotta take me on
You gotta twist the knife
You gotta take me on
To validate your life

Take Me On
