Hello World

This past weekend I hit up Egon's store Rappcats where DJ Shadow was selling some of his vast collection. I missed the opening day but snuck in and out on Sunday with a random high school band record, featuring a nice cover of Freddie Hubbard's "Little Sunflower" as well as some original tunes. That record reminded me I'd been wanting to do a school band episode of Pullin for awhile now, so it was a good inspiration to dig through my crate of very random college and high school music for a couple of my favorites. You never know what you're getting with these records - so many are poor quality recordings or cheesy renditions, but among the many there are some real gems. Hope you dig.

To celebrate the launch of Technics True Wireless Earbuds: EAH-AZ60 and EAH-AZ40, we're featuring a short series of exclusive mixes hand-tailored for different scenarios. For the second in the series, we asked Phill Most Chill aka Soulman World of Beats, to create an "Out Digging" theme. As one of the world's most renowned beat diggers, gaining notoriety for his World Of Beats column in Rap Sheet and his series of Archeologist Classics mixtapes, which ran to over 30 volumes, we are very excited to present this mix.

Ending 2021 with a long set of some of my favorite purchases this past year! (I can't really call most of these "digs"). This episode is a combination of some long-time wants I knocked off the list with some of my favorite new records by both young, incredible artists as well as brilliant veterans like Brian Jackson.

A huge, massive thank you to all the listeners who have tuned in this year, whether new or old. I greatly appreciate you. Special shout to Pipomixes for posting my mixes and for keeping DJ mixes alive for us all still doing this stuff!

Pullin from the Stacks - Episode 185 (Favorite Records I Got in 2021)

Stretch and Bobbito Hot 97 January 1997

Sorry for the long delay, been a busy month. Starting to pack the records up now, so this will be my last mix at my current residence, and probably for another few weeks until I get things unpacked on the other side of LA. Kept things thematic for this one though - all jazz-related releases on the Melodiya label, which was the Soviet-era label that released records from not only Russia but other countries in region. Been slowly building a small stack of vinyl from this label and figured I'd play a few here. Enjoy!

Pullin from the Stacks - Episode 206 (Melodiya Jazz)

Decided to do a more thematic set this week, dedicated to the incredible Japanese jazz label Three Blind Mice. I don't have a ton of their records but wanted to highlight several I do have, and that might not be as "famous" as some of the other TBM records that have been repressed recently. Hope you dig it! Please subscribe on Apple Pods and leave a rating if you have a moment!

Tracklist: Masaru Imada, T. Takahashi and Tokyo Union, Hideo Ichikawa Trio, Bingo Miki, Isao Suzuki Trio, Isoo Fukui Quartet, Sleepy Matsumoto Quartet, Shoji Yokouchi Quartet

Original Samples of Dev Large's Illmatic Beat -Mellow Soul&Jazz Funk Classics Mix -

This is perhaps my most ambitious mix so far, a 95 minute journey through tunnels and caves into the heart of hip-hop, stalagmites of funk dripping onto rap records flipped into jams hip-hop heads rock on the regular. I hope you discover some tasty donuts down in the depths, and maybe do some spelunking of your own... 

Let's get busy and dig in the crates!

J Dilla - Original Samples Set

The other day I stumbled across this incredibly uplifting video - if you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favour (Insta: https://bit.ly/35AOstU  YouTube: https://bit.ly/2VHrqgo). It's by The Samples, performing a cappella outdoors with a brass band and segueing from Risin' To The Top into All Night Long. What a great vibe!! 

Well, I was just heading off to a party and I thought: that'd be a great one to play, lemme just add a little something to it. And, of course, as these things go, one thing led to another. And another...

Seeing how this was recorded, the quality is what it is, so enjoy it for what it is. Actually, if you think about it, it's two edits for the price of one. Speaking of which, it's a free download, so don't forget to show your appreciation. If you prefer not to use the free download gate, just shoot me a line.

The Samples - Risin' To The Top (Casbah 73 Edit)

When I'm not at the dayjob, I'm probably at a record store. Pullin from the Stacks podcast most Wednesdays, available here, Apple Pods (please subscribe!) and elsewhere.
