Naturalist Radio - Episode 5 (LIVE)

For episode 75 I had to bring in a very special guest - my close friend, the incredible vinyl selector DJ Center. Don't ever miss a chance to witness Center spin a gig - whether at the club, the lounge, the charity event, or anywhere else - and don't sleep on his production or mixes either. Center and I share a deep love of jazz music and so I thought it would be dope to have him bring some of his favorites over for the podcast. Of course he showed up with more records than we had time to play, but he focused in and delivered some really high quality flavors that are perfect for this episode. I also got a short interview in with him afterword. Don't sleep! You can check him on IG, FB and everywhere else as well as his website, http://pushthefader.com

Tracklist: 

DJ Center: John Coltrane, Samba Lanca Trio, Ahmad Jamal, Vladimir, Mike Longo, Robert Watson, Lester Sterling, Soul Jazz Orchestra, [Redacted], Anthony Williams 

DJ Ian Head: Cedar Walton, McCoy Tyner, Ill Considered

Fozzy Fest is a special experience for many different people, for many different reasons. 
For our crew it is a celebration of our friend Connor. 
His birthday always lands at the same time, and many people have incredible memories and even dreams of Connor at this close to home festival. 
We think this is why we feel so close to him here. We can express the energy that he has given, energy that he will always give...
Especially when we are together.

Pullin from the Stacks - Episode 125 (Guest Set from Evolve-One)

An all vinyl mix of music sampled by two of the greatest all time producers DJ Premier & RZA. 
You probably tuned into the online sound clash a few nights ago where these two titans went beat for beat in live showdown. In the end, it was hard to pick a winner. Either way, some great music was played and we all got to go back to our younger days for 3 hours while they dueled it out.  
Here's a bunch of my favorites by them. Some obvious and some a little harder to spot. This barely scratches the surface of what they've touched but, gives a small representation of Preemo & The Abbot's work. Enjoy, RS

Good News Daily #23(Preemo vs RZA)

Internationally known producer and professor J. Rawls was kind enough to put together a beautiful set of "favorites that I don't get to play out" for your listening pleasure. HUGE thank you to Dr. Rawls for this one! Make sure to follow and support his past and upcoming releases - you can find the latest from him at http://instagram.com/jrawls82, http://twitter.com/jrawls82 and https://soundcloud.com/user9989844. Don't miss his recent Instagram live sets on Sunday evenings - J. Rawls Live at Home! - which are necessary listening during these times! 

No tracklist for this one but get ready for more amazing guest sets and bonus mixes in the near future!
