BALANCE #561 (Hosted by Spacewalker)

Hi Everybody, for the 35th edition of the My Favorite Things Show I’m very happy to welcome, two brothers from Parisian suburbs: Mojazz and Azgroove. 

One is specialist in Jazz music, the other one is a great Funk Lover. It was for me very logical to focus this brand new show on the Jazz funk Music. As usual I have opening the show with some of my last digging tracks with 4 downtempo lovely nuggets.

Then the two have selected 20 masterpieces of jazz funk and fusion jazz, mainly from the 70’s (including some forgotten treasures from George Duke, Ben Sidran, Jimmy Owens, Eddie Harris, …) as well as a few future classics like the great MF Doom Cover by the Soul Supreme and the UK Jazz Funk Band The Expansions.

Enjoy !

Universal Rhythms - Four Directions - Jeff Higgins 17/09/21

We are delighted to host a very special and eclectic mix from internationally renowned veteran DJ and radio presenter, Marcia Carr. Marcia is seasoned club DJ and radio presenter, known for tearing up clubs alongside legends and upcoming stars, presenting ‘Everything Good’ on the legendary Rinse FM, curating go-to events and directing the all-vinyl, all-female DJ squad Girlz B Like. Carr has seen and done it all, since stepping on to the floor as as young jazz dancer, and remains relevant, influential and inspirational to this day. 

@ms-marcia: “Within my spirit it felt right, almost comforting to kick off this set by going back to my roots with some modal jazz then into a bevvy of fusion.  From there on the grooveline became a display of expressionism; a sense of peace fused with optimism for the future in this hedonistic bubble of a world that I inhabit.   A lot of people I know tend to hear me play a lot of electronica sounds which are more on the house and Broken beat side of the dance music spectrum.  Flexing my versatility, when I can either at specialist club nights or on the radio - variety is indeed the spice of life, it's my "get away" just like the words of the song by Earth, Wind & Fire.”

MIMS Guest Mix: Marcia Carr (London, Girlz B Like / Chocolate-Box)

Mad Mats, dating back his famous Raw Fusion Parties, is definitely one of the best "Club Jazz" DJ's in the World even if most of the people know him as a great House Dj with amazing Hip Hop Skills!

He has done for "My Favorite Things" a great mix including some digital only and unreleased tracks like this killer Incognito Remix by MAW and this hard to find, CD Only, Billy Foster’s Samba tune !

Mats has selected too some rare gems, which remember he was a very serious digger and records collector during the 80’s and 90’s like the Killer Britfunk "Final Approach" by ICQ !

Some Future classics also featured by Mats and myself like the EWF’s Cover "Can’t hide love" by Mishcael Stephenson and one of the best Jazz record of the year by Emma-Jean Thackray. 

Enjoy and don’t forget we can dance on jazz !

Outsiders: Lexis (Music is My Sanctuary) @ Kiosk Radio 21.07.2022

Not Much To Say

Belgiums hardest working entertainment powerhouse in the building. Lefto usually travels 250 days out of the year while still maintaining his syndicated radio show on Kiosk radio, Worldwide FM and The Lot NYC, his skills to journey through literally any style of music with absolute no effort. Lefto is a legend who's rubbed shoulders with the most versataile roster of DJ's from Giles Peterson to Francois K, from Gaslamp Killer to Red D. 
It's such a pleasure to experience this guy swimming through his mixes like a fish in water.

Enjoy!
