For the first show of 2022, Carhartt WIP Radio welcomes @dj-spinna-1, the legendary hip hop and deep house innovator from Brooklyn, NYC.

For 30 years Spinna has been a vital part of his hometown’s music legacy. He launched his recording career as a member of the underground hip hop group Jigmastas, before going on to work with the likes of Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monch, and De La Soul. In addition, he has made his mark as a solo artist, releasing benchmark albums like “Here to There“ from 2002, as well as countless e.p.’s, compilations and remixes for legends and stars like Donald Byrd, Roy Ayers, Mary J. Blidge, or Steve Wonder.

Since his earliest days, he has been known as an eclectic dj, playing music at the cross-section of hip hop, house, soul, r&b, funk, and jazz. He is also an early proponent of parties dedicated to one artist. His “WONDER-full” DJ nights dedicated to Steve Wonder, and his “Soul Slam” events, better known as the “Michael Jackson VS Prince” parties, became celebrated gatherings all over the USA.
 
For Carhartt WIP Radio DJ Spinna has conducted a mix, which he describes as “time traveling through my early days of underground hip hop with my group Jigmastas and releases from our Beyond Real label, [before] journeying on with some of my earlier remix works and showing my evolution into House Music.”  

As ever, we also sat down with this month’s host, discussing DJ Spinna's artistics origins, influences, and his soulful attitude towards his DJ craft. Check the interview at www.carhartt-wip.com/journal/music

2025年3月4日に惜しくもこの世を去ったレジェンドRoy Ayersのキャリア黄金期と呼ぶ に相応しい70年代前半からのRoy Ayers Ubiquityのギタリストとしてのキャリア、そし て何よりも77年リリースの自身唯一のリーダー作にしてレアグルーヴ史に輝く名盤『リズ ム・オブ・ライフ』の存在で、時代/ジャンルの壁を越えたプロップスを集め続けるリヴィ ング・レジェンド=ジェームズ・メイソン。

ハート・ウォーミングなメロウ・ソウルの名曲「Good Thing 」を、Degoとも交流の深 いYukari BBが、シンセベースも心地よくグルーヴィーなヒップホップ的ビート感覚を巡 らせ、そのメロウな魅力を増幅させ再構築した「Good Thing - Yukari BB Remix」。

そしてSide-Bには、数々のアーティストとのコラボレーションや RMXワーク、そし てGAGLEのアルバム・リリースと、 2025年も素晴らしい作品リリースを展開する DJ Mitsu the Beatsが、名曲「Free」を暖かなエレクトリック・ピアノも巡るパーカッシヴ でグルーヴィーなオリジナル世界で再構築した「 Free -DJ Mitsu the Beats Remix」、 そしてアーバン・メローな名曲「 Mbewe」をメローなファンクネスが脈打つヒップホッ プ的ビート/グルーヴで再生させた「 Mbewe -DJ Mitsu the Beats Remix 」。
