Talk about a labour of love mate.
It goes like this.
A few years ago in New Zealand whilst digging in the South Island (the city of Nelson) I came across a few boxes of library records. 
For friends not  familiar with “ library records “   these are records made for commercial and non commercial use in the 60s,70s, and 80s . During those times professional musicians would often earn their bread and butter 
going into recording studios and composing music long and short  for use in commercials on radio, TV and in theatre , etc. In modern day use this is often an often a rich source of samples or tracks for producer / DJ types.
Labels like KPM, Bruton and DeWolfe (non of which I’ve used  here) are
So often considered the " diggers choice " and regularly command high prices in the realm of Discog / Ebay digging (especially if a well known Hip Hop track sampled from it )
But it doesn’t stop there. 
Some smaller library labels will do sound FX records, passages of solo instrumentation and use this beautiful simplistic wording on the rear of the cover to describe each piece rather than having song names. (the mixtape cover I knocked up is some of that wording from the actual records  I used ) 
 So what I recovered in Nelson wasn’t necessarily a box of records I could remortgage the house with  BUT it fit into my general digging for music patterns and record sniffs. This is not about rare records. 
After I’d combed through samples for various projects I thought for a year on or off about how I could present these “ brief moments of funk flavoured or related  goodness “
This week I woke up on Monday morning and said f*ck it lets try or at least start it. After 2 hair pulling days and being mentally vacant from my wife and kids for extended periods of time I decided I need to make this happen in a week or I’m gonna over think it too much. 
I started by pulling out everything that moves me and  just playing it over and over finding a batch or an order about how it might  all work. 
95% of these tracks are only 45 - 60 seconds long so I ended up editing ,extending, remixing, juggling and dropping things all over the place.  
On the plus side if you are in the mix thinking “ this is shit, why did Hairy put this in  ?  Remember not long to go !
Initially a foundation  mix was laid down first to get some sense or feel for the music, I recorded some separate takes of juggles and cuts which where over dubbed and  then in classic DH mixtape fashion I sprinkled it with sauce and nuts
I called on a few dear friends  to throw shout outs in there. 
What can I tell you ? Its very cheesy , very brief, very wonky and I hope parts of it will make you laugh. 
This isn’t supposed to be some cleaned up, polished mixtape of high technical calibre. I mean to me its about digging  around for cheap records and find that gold within. 
Its funky, fuzzy, its rocky, its spacey, its disco, its spiritual its crackly with latin its jazz in there and over all. Theres a lot of technology available today to time stretch and beat match  but I keep it as honest as possible.  
I want to extend thanks to all the musicians that played on these joints ( non of which are credited on any sleeve )   and for those brief moments of nice movement or feel.
The mixtape is sponsored by Turborect, Morgans Bra’s and Car’s , Zoomo Detergent  ( Big up  Christchurch’s very own Wuckud MC for his valuable contributions ) 
Extensions of recognition love and general good vibrations must go out to Grant Smithies and right at the end of the tape  you hear his voice on National Radio in NZ dropping a nice words. These records came from your basement boss.  Cheers bro !  Big shout out to my brother Jan Kincl for conservatively glazing over the mix and helping me to present it in tasteful way. 
Anyway, love it, hate it, share it don’t share it. Whatever you do be happy and if you’ve been putting off something for years  then. Get onto it. 
It might take a while but it feels good. 

BIG UP 
Hairy

Summer Song

Hi Everybody, I’m very happy to be back with a new MFT Radio show and a very special guest : Soul Supreme from Amsterdam. 

The great musician and producer known for his great Hip-Hop and Jazz-Funk Covers put together a great hour mix session featuring his favorite tracks and main influences which shows he’s a serious head; from 70’s Soul Funk (J.R. Bailey, Odyssey, Caesar Frazier), Soul Fusion Jazz (Tarika Blue, Brother Jack McDuff,Steve Kuhn, Don Blackman), Spiritual Jazz (Weldon Irvine, Gary Bartz) and a brazilian music lover. (Hyldon, Orlandivo)
As Usual I have started this new session with my best last digging tracks from Deep Jazz like the last Greg Foat, a brand new fusion French band called Jéroboam and the killer african jazz by Gyedu-Blay Ambolley to some great club jazz tracks incuded the Last Dego and K15 projects, Turbojazz and a killer Broken Beat Bomb by Szajna.
Enjoy !

Celebrating the 75th birthday of Mr Roy Ayers with this mix, showcasing some of my favourite tracks from his slightly lesser known material… Well, I mean compared to tracks like Everybody 
Loves The Sunshine, Searching, We Live In Brooklyn, Running Away, Love Will Bring Us Back Together…

I also hear new stuff that I hadn’t noticed before when I listen to his music - the track with Jack Wilson that opens the mix up is so heavy and cosmic for its time, and I’d forgotten about the track with Wayne Henderson! There are so many great albums out there including the 2 Virgin Ubiquities BBE put out... We could devote a whole week of radio programmes to Roy, his archive is so large… 

He is the key to all things between jazz, soul, disco and hip hop…. Thank you roy for all the music...

Copenhagen based party starter Dj Universe presents a mix of 100% Azymuth: 

"In February 2015 my friends Sean and Anthon booked Azymuth for a show in Copenhagen and somehow I ended up juggling the roles of being the designated driver, camera man and warm up DJ for the concert. I will never forget those days. The group turned the depressing Danish winter into summer at the snap of a finger just with their presence and the concert itself had one of the most diverse audiences I’ve ever experienced in Copenhagen, all coming together under the warm Azymuth groove. 

Narrowing down 40 years of great music down to a 1h 47m mix was a tough process and I know there are some obvious ones missing, nevertheless I tried my best to grasp and represent the versatile soundscape the group has left behind. The mix spans over 4 decades and about 75 BPM, from the shade of the palm tree to the floor in the club, and I hope it can provide just a little of the magic that I felt witnessing the group play live."
