31 and reevaluating my existence

Soothing Stacks

Travels happened this summer - couple days in Pittsburgh, two weeks in Portland, few days in Chicago, then back to the Apple. Along the way, multiple visits were made to key vinyl vendors. Additionally, I went back through some old boxes I'd left at my mom's house the past few years and pulled out a couple gems. In-between roaming the aisles and avoiding papercuts while thumbing through record sleeves, it was interesting to think about how my priorities in digging have changed. I've really been getting into some of the slower, bluesier soul joints - don't know if it's the thick summer weather or I'm just getting older. That being said, I'm still out here looking for the funk.

This is an all-vinyl mixtape, about half an hour of a few of the 45s that I found over the past couple months. Big shout out to all the fam and digging peoples and especially my non-digging friends who let me sneak off for a couple hours to stare at record labels.

I'm starting to put together a more lengthy "Fall" mix, but had to throw something out there in the meantime. THE DIGGING NEVER STOPS!! Hope you enjoy.

The Digging Never Stops (All-45s Mixtape)

Here's the second tape in my "seasonal" series - a compilation of eclectic tunes from recent and past digging adventures. Something to bump on the headphones after you zip your hoodie up and stroll up the block, crunchy and soulful. No tracklist for this one - thumb through a crate or two and I'm sure you'll come up with some of these cuts.

I'm continuing to feature artistic friends of mine with this series of tapes. Big shout out to Brian Burk, whose beautiful photo of a cool fall sky graces the cover. You can check out more of his incredible photos at http://brianburk.smugmug.com. Also special shout to the homie Turiya, who's getting back into vinyl and let me feature part of an interview I did with her on this tape.

Hope you all enjoy. Stay warm.

- DJ Ian Head 

Fall (mixtape)

Took me a second to get to this one. This winter has been a little hectic, but in a good way: the collision of work with school with travel to see family and friends. In-between, digging and stumbling between crates continues to be a constant. Besides my usual NYC adventures I was back in Portland for a couple weeks, and a quick day of almost getting caught by the polar vortex in Chicago - but still somehow managed to make it to the record store for an hour despite 2 feet of snow and freezing temperatures. This chaos the past couple months, combined with the ice-cold temperatures, has worked to create a bit of a bizarre tape, with more of a "rock" style edge. I tried to keep it eclectic as usual, and give a broad sampling of a few things I've dug up these last few weeks. All vinyl. No tracklisting, just holler if you need that science.

I'd also like to say RIP to Amiri Baraka and Pete Seeger. Both had a profound effect on the ways I view and listen to music and politics.

I hope everyone is staying warm.

- DJ Ian Head 

Winter (Mixtape)

A warm sun finally came out this weekend in NYC and the time felt right to drop the Spring mixtape. After the non-stop barrage of cold weather these past few months, I tried to keep things upbeat and bright, a gathering of mostly-instrumental vinyl selections I've picked up recently and not-so-recently. I hope you play it with the breeze blowing in through the apartment windows you've finally cracked open.

This is the last piece of my four-part "seasonal" mixtape series, and once again I am blessed to have an incredible photographer donate some of her work for the cover. Everyone should check out the beautiful photography of Hong-An Tran at http://www.hongantran.com/ and http://ruinista.com/. Seriously good.

Again no tracklisting on this one. For those curious about the records used, there's a few clues on my Instagram.

@Raphael-riza-saadiq

Probably our favorite track of Raphael Saadiq's Stone Rollin' album released in 2011. This track titled "The Perfect Storm" features Larry Graham and is unlisted/hidden bonus track.

We noticed this gem was nowhere to be found on Soundcloud and so we thought we'd stream it for the time being. Of course you guys will have to purchase the music on iTunes.

I thought I'd take it back with a dedication to the jazz-fusion-funk label CTI (and affiliated KUDU) label this episode. Went through the stacks and pulled some things I hadn't listened to in awhile, some which I don't think I've listened to in years. CTI records were staples of hip-hop sampling in the 90s, and when I first started going out to dig, they were instant-cops. But it's way more than just a Black Moon break - this is amazing music, recorded beautifully and packaged with stunning, original cover art (some of which you could even order posters of from the label). I tried to stay away from the most famous breakbeats (no Bob James on this episode) and play some other favorites, that remind me of those early diggin adventures.

Tracklist: Kenny Burrell, Hank Crawford, Grover Washington, Jr., George Benson, Freddie Hubbard, Hubert Laws, Quincy Jones, CTI All-Stars, Milt Jackson, Wes Montgomery

There was a time when I believe I owned at least 2 copies of almost every Aretha Franklin album. Her voice is like no other. I'm kind of at a loss for words. May she Rest in Power. I made this mix almost 10 years ago, in late 2009 as part of my Monthly Mixtape series, thought I'd re-up today.

Advent Day 20 - Ralph Rodgers

I enjoyed making this tape. It's a bit different from my more crunchy, vinyl-heavy mixes, but hopefully still bump-able at the local evening picnic or house party. You can do silly dances to it, or just cool out and sip a nice iced beverage while it rocks in the background. Either way, don't sleep on the Vijay Iyer's jazz cover of MIA's "Galang."

I'm planning on doing a series of "seasonal" mixes, in combination with covers from a variety of artists and photographers I know. The first cover is from world traveler, documentarian and incredible photographer Daniel Littlewood, a close friend since high school. You can find more of his photos at http://www.flickr.com/photos/daniellittlewood.

JuJu Orchestra - "Nao Posso Demorar"
