Gold Diggers - Tiki Tuesday 8/24/21: Jonny Mons & Daniel T

New mix inspired by my Forager Record dig.

Also, this mix includes a Tim Hardin dub I made year one of the pandemic. Been sitting on it for a while now. Enjoy!

After five years of nothin’, I’ve got a new tune for you — this time on my own label, T83. Josh Hodges, of Portland heroes STRFKR, was kind enough to lend his sweet sweet vocals for this one. I did my best to make you feel like you are floating around somewhere far away from all the all the annoying stuff on Earth.

Recently, it occurred to me that my 12” copy of Gorillaz - Dirty Harry came with an acapella on the B side. I thought it would be fun to do something with it, so — here it is!

"For the last six months or so I’ve been religiously attending DJ Clyde’s Sunday Night Roll at Skateland in Northridge. True roller skating culture was not something I grew up with, so for me, seeing this place for the first time was mind-blowing. The first thing I noticed was the majority of the skaters were middle aged (or “grown and sexy” as Clyde likes to say.) They were impressively skilled, many of them with custom skates made from oxford shoes. This was and is a place for people who see roller skating as a way of life. The most notable element for me was DJ Clyde the Glide’s hand-selected funk/soul music and how deeply the skaters lost themselves in it. He was playing the types of records I had been digging for, but presented in a new way. This mix is inspired by the music played Sunday nights at Skateland. Enjoy." - Daniel T

This mix was made on April 8th, 2020 in isolation during the COVID-19 outbreak. I had been missing the experience of record shopping, so I decided to look through records I already had on my shelves, and find some good soul songs I had either ignored or glossed over. Hope you enjoy!

Stay-At-Home Soul

An hour of dub and lovers rock. It was supposed to be the summer of dub ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Summer Of Dub

A mix of escapist music from the 50s up through the 80s.

Daniel T is a California-based DJ and producer. A longtime record collector and digger, Daniel has become a local authority on bygone music. He hosts regular radio shows on Dublab (Crosseyed & Painless) and NTS (Tuff Shed). He started making music 15 years ago as one half of Cosmic Kids, who made a name for themselves producing heady house and astral dance originals and remixes for cult labels Let’s Play House and DFA. In the years leading up to the pandemic, Daniel and his former DJ partner Wyatt left an indelible mark on Los Angeles with their beloved series of Heat-Wave parties.

Daniel's solo output is inspired by everything that you might find leafing through his diverse record collection: disco, international funk, post punk, reggae, and off-kilter pop. He has released original productions and edits for Cascine, Razor N Tape, and Pleasure of Love.
