Newworldaquarium - Stars

PUDGE - Blips Ahoy Mate

The first couple Max D releases, like ’09-’10, were issued via RAMP Recordings (somewhat of a dubious label in terms of payout, Ras G (RIP) called the owner dude Suge White a few times and…ay, truth is truth). One of my many sick label mates on that situation was PUDGE, and I remember hearing something of his and just pursuing everything else possible. This is from those deeply important LA 10”s that All City put out in 2009ish. The tightest sloppiness, unreal to me at the time. Still hits so hard.

LL Cool J - Boomin System

Tara Cross - Alphabetical Numbers

Arpanet - The Analyst

Madhouse - Eleven

Chaka Khan - Some Love

This is perhaps my only example of “discovering” a song via the normal method that this mix-series focuses on, like Shazam etc. I actually have never had Shazam on my phone, but asked somebody in the car I was riding in to find out what this was. My parents listened to Rufus & Chaka growing up, but I was not hip at all to this utter banger. Embarrassingly, I even already had the record at my house, just hadn’t ever peeped this song, like a dum dum.

Eddie Henderson - Scorpio - Libra

Charlie Rouse - Hopscotch

Bengt Berger Bitter Funeral Beer Band (w Don Cherry) - Tongsi

Northeast Groovers - Live Tape from 95

Max D’s mix for us is largely an ode to the DMV in the decades spanning the late 1990s to the early 2000s. Similarly to the label curation of Future Times and Max D's collaborations, the mix is stitched together not by a certain sound, but by memory, feeling, and an essence of funk across genre. Cascading, loopy jazz, DC radio station-honkers, and quintessential go-go, among other tunes, await inside.
