A track from my forthcoming tape;  
'THE XENAKIS STATION'  
released on UK label Woodford Halse, released 6th October 2023.

---------- The Xenakis Station. A long abandoned research station. A place always officially denied. The place now a fiction where shards of disputed truth remain.

The location still not de-classified. Remnants destroyed.

Last winter we got a phone call to say graffiti on an abandoned building on Redpoint Sound states" 'Xenakis broadcasts were made here' but official enquiries are still met with silence.

Faint memories remain like distant static or bursts of shortwave. --------------

Intro track to Thick Grooves, Volume 1 mixtape by Joe Crates.

EVERY TAPE PURCHASE INCLUDES DIGITAL DOWNLOAD AND $5 DONATION TO NYC ANTI-VIOLENCE PROJECT

On this homage to the golden era of mixtapes, Joe Crates pushes listeners down the backstreets of jazz and hip hop, where 90s boom bap and independent rap intersect with 60s hard bop and contemporary soul jazz.

True to tradition, Thick Grooves, Vol 1 blends, cuts, and scratches together tracks using only vinyl, two turntables, and a mixer. However, unlike mixtapes of the 90s, forced to pack as much new flavor into 60 minutes as possible, Joe lets several tracks breathe, with intention. For example, Godfather Don’s pen wizardry on “Piece of the Action" and Shadez of Brooklyn’s youthful expression on “Change” — two tracks you can’t find on digital streaming platforms — run their entirety for old and new heads to nod along to.

Throughout the tape, samples and interludes provide more subtext and situational settings to transport listeners. From an iconic smoke session in KIDS to John Coltrane speaking on the importance of being true to his roots, Thick Grooves is the soundtrack at your local skateshop in the 90s, remixed and presented for today.

Let You Go - Deejay Astral

I know, I know -- it's blasphemy! Treason! But I'm awful, so that's that.

I heard this in Disclosure's XLR8R mix and simply had to put together a version for my live sets -- here I've adjusted the EQ a bit, flew in some kick reinforcements and tried my darndest to make this something you're happy to keep in the record box.

Will probably be pulling this one offline in a week or two, so grab it while it's here. Enjoy and stay funky y'all!
