Communiqué writeup

Rich Medina ALL VINYL Mix | Hot Mix  02/09/15

I started this mix in 2007, finished it in 2008, and am now finally seeing it come to fruition in 2010.  I actually intended for this mix to be a CD release, but ultimately decided that making it freely downloadable would be the best approach. 

The title "Beautiful Sounds" is pretty self explanatory.  Basically, I wanted to take all things that sound beautiful, blend these things together, package it, then share it with all of you.  When I think of the phrase "Beautiful Sounds", I hear congas, horns, bass lines, jazz chords, latin rhythms, and sultry voices singing in languages I can't understand.  If someone asked me what genres "Beautiful Sounds" would be comprised of, I'd mention jazz, afrobeat, bossanova, samba, salsa, soul, funk, and anything else you don't hear on your local radio station. 

I'm quite satisfied with the way that this turned out, despite all the nit-picking I could still do with it.  In retrospect, I never thought that my 10+ years of deejaying would amount to me putting out a mix such as this one.  Early on in my DJ career, I always thought I would remain a hip-hop battle DJ practicing to be the next Q-bert (just like everyone else in the 90's).  I'm nowhere close to competing for a DMC championship, but I'm content that my style has evolved to what it is now.  

My heart and soul will always yearn for beautiful music, and as a DJ that's what I'll continue to provide...

beautiful sounds

After the huge reaction to his ‘Disco Doctor’ mix Spin Doctor keeps it soulful again as he explains:

“In the midst of a 2 week Corona Virus Isolation I'm thinking about good music to bring us through and what better than the sweet sound of Soul. I put together a few of my fave soulful cuts. Not all strictly soul but definitely soulful! Music to lift the spirit and maybe move the body from Al Green, Roy Ayers, Prince, Mary J and more.

I'd finished the mix with the incredible “Wake Up Everybody” which felt very right given the current pandemic situation but soon as I had finished the mix I heard the tragic news about Bill Withers (RIP).

That hit me hard so I took a moment and shed a tear. Bill's one of my favourite artists ever and so I had to add a little 3 tune Bill Withers mix to the end of what was already a finished mix opening with ‘I’ll Be With You’ and it’s apt opening line of Bill singing… ‘I’ll be with you till heaven comes and takes me away’.

RIP Bill Withers
