My portion of the monthly radio show Conor and I do at RiseRadio in Brooklyn New York.

This was recorded at the beginning of May, where NYC has been lucky enough to open up. I picked out a mix of latin influenced tracks along with feel-good house and disco mixed along. 

I chose these tracks as they reminded me of going to street parties (Chicago, New York, Cali (Colombia), Rio) where people of all ages were outside listening to music and having a good time.

Hope you enjoy the track selection, go check out Rise Radio and catch me playing throughout the summer of NYC!

With vinyl and love, 

James

Summer Madness..As summer is pushing through, here's a mix I made after a couple of months of things opening up. I've seen, experienced and felt a mix of emotions since everything has opened up (Relief, Reopening, Rising up, Falling down, The fallen, The heartbroken, Late nights,  Seeing old friends, Joy, Meeting new friends and Uncertainty) Here are a mix of all those emotions put in a mix. I've been playing a lot of these out in my sets, so catch me next out and about in New York!

Enjoy and with love with vinyl,

Summer Madness

Onakan Ramen Disco (Masa) and myself use to play together almost every week 4-5 hours at Lot45 for a whole year, we missed those times and decided to record a short mix together. We didn't prepare much on this, but as always had alot of fun.

I kick off the first record and Masa is after for the B2B

Enjoy and with love with vinyl,

B2B with Onakan Ramen Disco

My first mix in the books for 2022! Whenever I make mixes I try to take my listeners through an hour-long journey of global music. I listened to a lot of DJ Muro (especially the mocha soul mixes) growing up and it 'clicked' with me on how he programmed his music - from start to finish his mixes would just take me to another planet just with headphones on.

Below are selections of music I have been listening to and picked up recently - the music spans 20-30 years of sound and from different parts of the globe. Hope you join me on the journey I have prepared for you!  My favorite track on here is Laroye & Lee Wilson – Beautiful (extended mix).

The music starts out in West Africa in Ghana,  then we travel to the Chicago underground with Chez Damier, after we stop by the UK with the mysterious yet prolific powerhouse group Sault. While in the UK, we also stop by Disco/Dance legend Dave Lee. I then bring you back to  NYC for some percussion and spiritual sounds. Finally wrapping it up with a new 2021 release from Felipe Gordon from Colombia. 

Afla Sackey and Afrik Bawantu - Mofeemo Ke Eno (Afla Sackey)
Alex Attias & Sidi Toure - Agabory
Opolopo - In The Fast Lane
Chez Damier & Co-Inside–	Give A Little Love (Co-Inside Mix)
Sault - I just want to Dance
The Sunburst Band - Listen Love(Dave Lee Jazz Funk Renaissance Mix)
Laroye & Lee Wilson – Beautiful (extended mix)
Carlos Sanchez Movement - Wisdom ft Gregory Porter
Joaquin Joe Clausell - 	It All Began In The East (The Sacred Rhythm Version)
Robert Glasper - Enoch’s House (DJ Kemit Remix)
Felipe Gordon – Sincopa Liquida

Thank you for listening and wish everyone a blessed 2022

2022 New Year Journey Mix

A mix I put together after organizing my records. I included a lot of my 're-discovered' records and a couple of new tracks I've picked up. I didn't put as much thought as my last years mix as I was just grabbing records off my shelf, but pretty happy how it came out :) 

I've been mixing records for 10 years and still get a kick when I find new left field, funky and exciting track. As cliche as it sounds...there is so much damn music out there and its crazy how many different sounds we can make by using our mouths, fingers, feet and nowadays computers lol. I still get as much joy in sharing and mixing records as I did when I started so I hope you enjoy the spontaneous mix I put together. 

I start off a little slow and mysterious, but hope to take you through another sound journey

Thank you to the folks that pointed me to new records, parties and communities.

Tracklist:

Chaos in the CBD - Trust Is Key
Dan Kye - Raro
A Man Called Adam – Techno Powers
Cafe Soul All Stars - Urban Jungle (Ian Friday Tea Party Vocal)
Emma Nilsdotter - Från Mig Til Dig (Markus Enochson Vocal Mix)
Honeysweet – Last Night Changed it All
Cricco Castelli – Life Is Changing
Stacy Kidd - Razz-A-Jazz
Nelson Rosado Presents House 'N' Kontrol - Keep On Groovin' (Nels B.R.I. Mix)
Joie Noire - Jammaster (Joie Noire Re-edit)
Scott Grooves - Untitled 1
