Pullin from the Stacks Podcast(Episode 5)

Cut Chemist presents Lesson 6: The Lecture EP. Remastered for 2016 this release includes his Cut's mid-nineties opus in its original form from the original session multi-tracks with all elements intact. The original track itself is sometimes confused for the 1999 major label "watered down" rerelease. Also included is "Lesson 6: Instrumental (DIY Version)" minus the cuts and dialogue plus "Lesson 6: The Sketch" a raw and sometimes crude, unedited 15-minute practice tape that became the blueprint for this monumental lesson. 'Lesson 6' has become a spring board not only for the cut-n-paste style associated with Cut Chemist's approach to production but a feel for Jurassic 5's music as an eclectic and inventive whole.

Lesson 6:  The Lecture (Remastered)

Awesome Tapes From Africa: Benin Special (03.23.20)

Short tribute set to the legend Bill Withers - some of his originals and some covers of his classics. I tried to play some of my favorite album cuts of his rather than just the singles. This is once again a reminder that more tributes need to be paid to our living legends while they're still here. I plan to do more "living" tributes in the near future. For now though, plan for additional episodes of Pullin from the Stacks for as long as we're dealing with this pandemic - working on a few new mixes as well. Rest in Power to Mr. Withers. 

Tracklist: Nancy Wilson, Bill Withers, Bill Withers, Jay Berliner, Bill Withers, Shirley Scott, Hoctor Records, Bill Withers

I've been following Bruce on Instagram and checking out his mixes for awhile now, and really enjoyed the records he highlights. Much appreciation to him for this set! Follow Bruce at http://mixcloud.com/BrucePhillips and http://instagram.com/brucephillips15
