a playlist of mixes and such that I think are interesting.  A lot of jazz and such not all electronic craziness as I am a grown-ass man and sometimes that gets a little tiring.

Steinway artist, Chad Lawson, decided Chopin needed a new introduction.  Along with violinist Judy Kang (Lady Gaga, Ryuichi Sakamoto) and cellist Rubin Kodheli (Kanye West, Norah Jones), Lawson has arranged ten Chopin works into a minimalist landscape.

It's a risk editing the "poet of the piano" but one that Chopin would be proud of.  

Taking 10 Chopin works, Lawson decided to scale the works down to a minimalist setting.  "I knew even if bare-bones, Chopin's works could still be as spellbinding as the original compositions we are so familiar with." says the pianist.  

Produced by Chad Lawson & Alejandro Clavijo. Mixed by Stephen Lee Price.  Mastered by Michael Graves of Osiris Studios (Atlanta, GA).

Flying Lotus Bbc 1 Radio Residency - Week 2 - Thu 12 Feb 2015 - Gaslamp Killer

Movement VI (Dance III): This fiery finale is both a parody and a deconstruction of typical 19th Century virtuosic violin writing. It encourages the melodramatic soloist present in all violinists. 

The Suite for Solo Violin (2015) is a work comprised of six movements: three Cantos and three Dances. The Cantos are deeply lyrical and emotionally intense pieces intended to present the audience and performer with a visceral and moving experience, which I feel, is lacking in contemporary music. These are contrasted with the Dances, lighthearted, yet challenging pieces that showcase the virtuosity of the performer.

Devil's Pie is honored to present to you a tribute of jazz living legend Herbie Hancock by Mark de Clive-Lowe, one of today's contemporary musical masters. More than a regular DJ mix, this live recording features Mark looping, remixing, and adding his own musicianship to Herbie's iconic music.

In Mark de Clive-Lowe's own words:
"The first time I heard Herbie Hancock was the Miles live album My Funny Valentine/Four and More. It was the first time I'd heard that era jazz music and I remember being so blown away with the way Herbie and Tony Williams played together and interacted on that concert. That was the start of a deep admiration and love for the art, creativity and music of Herbie Hancock. I consumed everything I could that he turned his hand to - all of his work with Miles, his own solo records for Blue Note, sideman recordings with every jazz great in every decade since the 60s, his Mwandishi experimental crossover work, the Headhunters deep funk - there's nothing the man could not do. As a pianist he's the ultimate - harmonically so rich and inventive, melodically so lyrical, rhythmically so damn hip. I've been fortunate to see him play on numerous occasions all over the world. The first time was the VSOP band live in Japan along with Wayne Shorter, Wallace Roney, Ron Carter and Tony Williams. I was 17 at the time and can't really fully explain how amazing that was to me. He's one of my biggest inspirations and influences and through his huge body of work, a true musical mentor. In being asked to put together a tribute set, it was the perfect opportunity to go back through decades of his work and pick moments that I really love. I wanted to do more than just spin a set of tunes though, I wanted to take those moments and sample them, flip them, perform a live mixtape. It was the perfect way to share the man's music and how I feel about it. Enjoy!"

Recorded live on June 17, 2015 at Lock & Key Bar, Los Angeles.

Devil's Pie Presents: The Herbie Hancock Tribute by Mark de Clive-Lowe

Plying her trade as a barrister by day, @throwingshade doesn't conform to the normal trajectory of a young DJ and producer. Taking her name from the seminal documentary Paris Is Burning and a student of ethnomusicology, Nabihah lqbal is - to put it bluntly - a walking musical encyclopedia.

Her own productions touch on the darker regions of RnB and lo-fi house, making the Throwing Shade package altogether impossible to pigeonhole and the perfect candidate for a truly worldwide mix.

Free spirited and groundbreaking, Carhartt WIP Radio brings you legendary Strata Records, Detroit’s short lived, socially conscious Jazz, Fusion and Funk label from the late 60's and early 70’s. Strata was independent, run and owned by artists, released less than ten records and was established an art gallery-come-live venue that started the first university Jazz music program to educate and create awareness following the Detroit riots of '67 and ’68. In 2010, DJ Amir Abdullah, known as one half of the DJ duo Kon & Amir was commissioned to create a lost youth culture exhibit for a Detroit online museum. He chose to celebrate Strata's huge impact by re–issuing their catalogue through his own label 180 Proof Records. Carhartt WIP has teamed up with him to create a little Strata clothing collection that plays with graphics and poster motives of the label. To accompany the release we asked DJ Amir to prepare a personal journey through the goldmine of Strata records that features music by artists like Maulawi, The Lyman Woodard Organization, Kenny Cox and The Soulmates.

Tracklist:
Maulawi - People Make The World Go Round
The Contemporary Jazz Quintet - Nguzo Saba (Struggle)
Larry Nozero - Tune For L.N.
The Lyman Woodard Organization - Help Me Get Away
Maulawi - Naima
Sam Sanders - Face At My Window
Fito Foster - Salsa Pt. 1
Kenny Cox - Clap Clap! The Joyful Noise
The Soulmates - I'm Really Gonna Miss You
Maulawi - Maiden Voyage
Sphere - Where
Maulawi - Eltition

Since debuting in 2007, his releases have traversed along the electronic spectrum from footwork and jungle, to drone and post-rock, rave, house and techno, never straying far from a melodic backbone. For the last couple of years he's found a home on the fabric-run @houndstoothlbl imprint full of soaring, pulsating, dynamic and atmospheric dancefloor cuts.

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...

Having written a piece on Precious Hall which you can read above(see the blog button), I thought you might enjoy the first part of my set there on Oct 5. 

I was playing alongside Toshio Matsuura who as I walked in the club was playing some electronic bits that sounded so heavy, I threw a few in myself… Hope you enjoy.
