This is a short mix I did in 2002. It was on the site way back when, but got lost in the shuffle. It's a hodge-podge of joints i was feeling at the time all with that rare groove / crate digger aesthetic.

Yo!  A Mix By DJ Raj Mahal (2002)

Not a hint of steel drum, just the lowdown, grimey early 70s Jamaican reggae. Feast on his debut Soul Strut DJ set of soulful reggae covers of classic R&B smashes. High quality re-up of this classic from '03.

DJ Midnite Cowbwoy - J.A. Under the Covers (2003)

I’ve had a few mix ideas swirling around in my head the past few months, and for whatever reason this one came to fruition the quickest. In keeping with my interest in African music, this mix is dedicated to the “deeper” side of things. The term “deep” is a bit of an ambiguous term, but in my mind it can be used to describe music that possesses soul and spirit. It can have personal significance, not necessarily religious but sometimes so. In selecting tracks for this mix I choose songs that felt like they could be classified this way, staying away from things that were overtly funky or clearly had outside influences. Most importantly, none of these songs are sung in English. I realize that they could be singing about any damn thing, but hearing songs sung in one’s native tongue automatically gives it a “deep” quality, at least to my ears.

A pretty eclectic selection here. I know a bunch of these tracks are available on other mixes or comps, but there are definitely a handful that, as far as I know, are unavailable anywhere else. I had trouble culling the selection down, so you’ll find that this mix is a bit longer than usual. But if you’re into this sort of stuff that shouldn’t be a problem. This mix is 100% recorded form original vinyl, so pardon the crackle and enjoy!

With the weather just getting warm here in the Northeast (US), songs about sunshine are encouraged.  Here's a mix uploaded to Soul Strut in 2011 that hits the mark.
