yo, not sure if you're a hip hop head but Reflection Eternal sampled that first loop for Fortified Live (a great tune!)

u cats got zee cuts..helping ride out this hurricance atm ha!

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

Pullin from the Stacks - Episode 227 - PM Records Tribute

This is a mix I did in 2004 that I'm very proud of that was handed out to site donators and heads who won my eBay auctions. Ca$h Play is RAJ MAHAL's homage to the late 70s / early 80s modern soul, disco, rap, electro, boogie, etc. that has inspired a lot of today's hip hop production.

This is a recording from the live DJ set featuring Will Reelsoul as my guest for my monthly night at Bar Franca called Free Yourself.
