Todd Terje Essential Mix 2013

War - Galaxy  (Disco Tech DJ edit)

Faster But Slower, aka the Fall 2013 mix by DJ Starsign finds the man going back to basics; selecting vinyl, creating a new & unique work from existing recordings, and capturing the performance live.

This mix was recorded in one take. The only equipment used was 2 Technics turntables, a Rane 2-channel mixer, a Kaoss effects pad, Shure needles, and Sony headphones. No laptops, wav files, dj software, cds. This was intended to take it back to the analogue way of doing things, capturing the warmth and magic of sounds recorded onto pieces of wax.

The mix, clocking in at nearly 2 hours, is an intersection of various types of beats from downtempo, to balearic, cosmic, disco, deep house, beardo, and assorted grooves designed for the adventurous listener. A bit of everything is thrown in the pot, from original productions, to remixes, to re-edits, new to classic, sun-kissed to atmospheric, mellow to frenetic, sleazy to sophisticated, from organic swampy stompers for jungle dwellers to electronic sound architecture for spaceship passengers. This is open format eclecticism for those who want something a bit out of the ordinary. 

Recorded from Austin, with love... where it's still warm in the Autumn.

Dez Andrés - Seasons So Long

It was 25 years ago that De La Soul released their classic sophomore LP 'De La Soul Is Dead', challenging the hippy label that followed the group after the success of their groundbreaking debut '3 Feet High & Rising'. 

To celebrate the anniversary of such a remarkable album, our buddy Chris Read has put together this dope mixtape featuring original sample material, remixes and album cuts. 

Listen up and enjoy!

De La Soul 'De La Soul Is Dead' 25th Anniversary Mixtape mixed by Chris Read

Originally recorded in 1973, "Where Are We Going" was supposed to be part of the legendary "Let's Get It On" album. 
For some reason it did not make the cut, and this beautiful song written by Larry Mizell was first heard through a jazz/funk cover by Donald Byrd & his Blackbyrds. 

It's only in 2001 that the original Marvin Gaye version was released as part of "Let's Get It On" LP reissue featuring various b-sides & studio sessions.

Ever since I first heard it a few years ago, it has immediately become one of my favorite Marvin's song, because of its irresistible groove, Marvin's singing at his best, but also its thoughtful lyrics.

Here is my DJ-friendly beefed up take of this overlooked track.

Double disc all vinyl DJ mix packaged in 16 page high quality digibook with extensive liner notes, rare photos, & free download code. Limited to 1000 copies worldwide.

Breaking the Ice is an extended mix of rare—mostly never before heard—Icelandic tracks that are heavily underscored with psych, funk, soul, disco, and in-the-pocket rhythms, all of which are expertly mixed by renowned DJ and turntablist, DJ Platurn. 

The music presented has been compiled through a lifetime of collecting, while others have been passed down through Platurn’s familial, musical roots. 

The packaging includes rare photos, via Platurn's father Magnus Thordarson, and other ephemera from Iceland's small yet vibrant music scene during the late 1960s thru the early 1980s. The release also features extensive liner notes by longtime music journalist David Ma, couching the music’s history as well and the region’s bygone era in which it arose.
