Was hoping to put together a mix tribute to the amazing Trugoy of De La Soul this week, but have not had the time yet. For now, here is a mix from the archives that I did in 2010. Hope you all enjoy.

I came back the other week with a bag full of records I grabbed while in NYC to play for you all, but that will have to wait. In the past few days, two of the best to ever do it have transitioned after living incredible lives and giving all of us so much music and inspiration - Ahmad Jamal and Ivan "Mamao" Conti. It only felt right to pay tribute to them both on this episode. I tried to play some tunes, especially from Jamal's catalogue, that aren't the big sample-famous ones, but are favorites none the same.

I've done two other mixes dedicated to Jamal in the past, who is my favorite pianist ever, whose music has been so important to me, whose records my dad passed down to me. Admittedly only in more recent years have I become more familiar with Conti's work, and have completely fallen in love with it. 

Salute to these giants!

Pullin from the Stacks - Episode 224 (Ahmad and Mamao)

Been a very busy and pretty rough last few weeks. Finally had a moment to catch my breath and put together a short mix. Big shout out to my man James Park in Brooklyn for the invite to spin at Bierwax - couldn't make it happen because of recent circumstances but the records on this mix are from the bag I brought to NYC before plans went sideways. Some favorites and some new stuff, breaks and soul and other flavors. Hope everyone is healthy and safe, and a huge thank you for tuning in to this and any other mix you might stumble upon! Please know that every play and listen is deeply appreciated.

Pullin from the Stacks Episode 235 - Recent Digs and Things

During our takeover on Polaroid Radio throughout October and November, we are delivering shows, playlists and music 24/7 on the Iris channel, inspired by the pages of Wax Poetics.

We reached out to our community to share a 60 minute mix with us every week.

Week 4 theme was Dollar Finds: Hits and Oddities from the bins

This winning mix is by Jack Coffey, self proclaimed 'Full time loser, part time poet and one trick pony.' In 2023 Jack released his second EP, bought some turntables that don't turn and had his first ever DJ mix aired on the legendary NTS Radio.
