Stylin' first aired on 3RRR-FM in July 2001, and has occupied the Friday 12-2pm timeslot ever since. 10 years and 500 shows later and Ennio Styles has featured many of the artists here as guests of the show as well as others like Q-Tip, Carl Craig, John Legend, Hudson Mohawke, Terry Callier, Juan Atkins, Dam Funk, Mad Mike (UR), The Bamboos, Mark Pritchard, Roy Ayers, Fat Freddy's Drop, Jazzanova, Gilles Peterson, Seiji, Common, Mulatu Astatke, The Pharcyde, Outkast and Bugge Wesseltoft. If you like any of these artists, there will be something for you on Stylin' 500. 

Part 1 presents the soulful side of hip hop, jazz, boogie and, er, soul. 

Native American/black singer Kyra Climbingbear gets things started with the anthemic rock-tinged 'Champion' featuring a verse from John Robinson (Scienz of Life). Micah St James and Imani (of The Pharcyde) represent the LA hip hop scene, with Imani riding a smooth Spaceboy Boogie X production previously only available in Japan. Amin PaYnE and Andras Fox are two upcoming Melbourne beatmakers, here demonstrating their soul-chopping skills. Atlanta jazz/soul vocalist Nonameko lays it down over a sweet production from Tanya Morgan's Von Pea. Monica Blaire (who has sung for Waajeed/PPP, Andres and Black Milk) teams up with her Detroit-based Silent Riot crew for a nearly acappella version of Zapp. US vocalist Olivier Daysoul has collaborated with Hudson Mohawke, Onra and Oddisee and teams up here with London's Andre January for an unreleased uptempo jam that should appeal to fans of Prince and Outkast's Andre 3000. 

Lanu and Mark de Clive-Lowe (half of The Politik with Bembe Segue) have been friends of Stylin' since the beginning and explore the space between jazz, soul and club music. The late Abby Joyce delivers a heavenly vocal on Lanu's tune. Germany's First Touch stay true to the 80s boogie sound in all but the title's reference to '2011 Mix'! 

Four emotional vocal jazz tunes round out Part 1. John Ellis is a Mancunian keyboardist who has played with Cinematic Orchestra and DJ Vadim. 'He Speaks (Live)' by LA's Nailah was first played on Stylin' in 2009, setting off a chain of events that led to Gilles Peterson airplay and gigs, collaborations with Robert Glasper, Nicola Conte and Jose James and a record deal with Universal (as Nailah Porter). Since then this song has been unavailable and Ennio Styles' edit (which includes three minutes of additional material from the original performance) is released here for the first time. The WES Group hail from Washington DC and here offer some gospel-tinged jazz with shades of their Baltimore friends Fertile Ground. Versatile NYC-based trumpeter and vocalist Leron Thomas closes Part 1 on a reflective note with a jazz ballad reminiscent of Tribe's Doug Hammond.

Daycruising (Dj Friction Extended Edit)

FIRST TOUCH presents a six song EP "KNOCKOUT", a highly anticipated release for this duo out of Germany who is clearly operating on all cylinders as far as modern funk dance music is concerned, carving out a lane all of their own a long time ago! 

KNOCKOUT blasts the dance floor striking first with the BEWEG DEIN KÖPER, moving that body with a sophisticated level of uptempo modern funk built upon hard basslines and masterful synth arrangements. 

DO IT TO IT won't let you leave the dance floor with bouncing bass and infectious chord arrangements, displaying the master craftsmanship of groove control this duo brings to modern funk music. 

Love songs don't have to be slow jams as revealed on IT MUST BE LOVE, this jam will have lovers dancing close to the silky rhythm and juicy chords that sweet talk listeners with dialogue of a Hardcastle lead! 

ITS LIKE PARADISE WHEN YOU'RE WITH ME electrifies that notion with a refreshing poolside melody that pulls you in closer with its bubbling bass that won't let you escape as it electrifies with vocoders and hypnotizes with an infectious breakdown. 

JUST A GROOVE is one to glide the streets to, this tuff baseline carries the rhythm on skates with its slick simplicity highlighting masterful synth arrangements that go back and for between this duo steady riding the groove. Closing out the EP with a jam that is a pure funk anthem that will take over dance floors as FIRST TOUCH gives you the KNOCKOUT!

It's all about 'touch' with this First Touch Remix on the 10th release from Hot Shot Sounds. It is a classy Boogie take that brings the original song into a 'cocktail bar territory' as Freekwency describes it.

Description by Omega Supreme Records:
STARDUST is a magical collaboration of new music from Germany's tiptop funk duo FIRST TOUCH that combines its forces with native master blaster BYBO FUNK. This four song up-tempo EP brings charismatic chord arrangements along with sophisticated and infectious basslines together for cosmic dance floor boogie. HOLD IT DOWN is a 110 BPM dance floor glider, laying a slick bass line down for bright synth chords to bounce over before a slick breakdown. SOMETHING IN ME is a 120BPM dance floor fire starter, jumping out with a hard-hitting baseline and drum arrangement intro before laying down crispy tiptop synth chords and a masterful solo and breakdown. Title track STARDUST delivers what everybody would expect from a collaboration like this, a 110BPM bass heavy boulevard funk anthem that will have dance floors moving side to side with a sophisticated gangster lean! TRIPPIN' is a 115BPM lovers groove with a deep and sophisticated chord arrangements wrapped in thick synth bass lines uplifting dance floors with a cosmic love boogie bounce, closing out this collaboration with a sonic baptism carving out new directions in modernfunk!
