RUDE(R) 28.10.23 - Maria Shenton & Scott Mellors

If you are a regular listener of the show you probably noticed that there wasn't an NDYD episode this week. I took a Christmas break from my regular music duties - BUT there was a mix I did in early December for the FM station KXLU here in Los Angeles that I hadn't put here on Soundcloud so, here it is!

This was my second appearance on the Mystic Pete show that airs late Saturday nights on 88.9 FM - KXLU. Pete's program exposes underground artists in LA (and other cities) and gives them an FM platform to showcase their music. It's always an honor to be on Pete' show but this one was a bit special because it also included two of my favorite music selectors / producers and friends - Justin Paul (Los Angeles) and Davidson Ospina (Philadelphia). @justinpaul - @davidson-ospina

The mix here was my contribution to the program. The version you get to hear here is the longer complete version of my mix as we each had an hour of the 3 hour program (it was edited for the show).

Next week I will return with a best of 2023 where I will play my favorite cuts from each of the shows from the past year. That is a big task as there was about 50 episodes in 2023. I'm off from work this week so I should be able to get it done by the Friday. I have to because the weekend after next (January 6th, 2024) I'm off to Seattle to play with my good friend and regular of the show Ajax (@ajax-6). I am excited about this gig because I am coming back to the first club I ever played at in Seattle - the legendary Monkey Loft. If you live or are going to be there on the 6th come check it out.  

Happy Holidays y'all!

KXLU Los Angeles RT guest mix November 2023

Introducing Fiona Fossil for episode 06 of FUNKcast Series 3, welcoming Fiona back again after a long time ago when she dropped a FUNKcast for Series 1 and absolutely smashed it out the park... a little bit about Fiona:

Weaver of sound. Weaver of time. Fiona likes to play a rainbow of audio delight. Tech, acid, deep, jazz, funk, swing. Always funky, soulful, raw, organic, colourful, vibrant.
Inspired by the sound of the 90’s Underground, but with her own flavours, she is focused on story, timing, pace and feel more than genre. Fiona loves to take risks and be spontaneous and has great attention to detail.
Born in Germany and now living in Canada this music is not just a job but a lifestyle.. this love affair started in 1996, and soon after she started to play out in Canada and the US. First just playing records and later adding a more live element by playing along with the saxophone and clarinet.
Devoting almost all her time to her music, Fiona loves to sing and create her own unique sounds to use in her tracks. Lovingly creating a style of her own.
She is mindful but completely surrendered to the music, playing only what makes her feel honoured, grateful and free. It’s a spiritual thang, a body thang, a soul thang…. We might all be from different continents but on Fiona’s dance floor we are all on the same planet.

Ruthless Focus — Hraach x Mahsa Vahdat (G R A N T Edit)

A blend of two worlds that were never meant to meet but somehow speak the same language.
Mahsa Vahdat’s voice moves like incense through the air — raw, intimate, untouchable — while Hraach’s signature depth anchors the entire piece with a pulse that feels almost ritualistic.

This edit is built on tension. Softness against power. Emotion against restraint.
A track you don’t play in the background; you experience it.

Mixed, shaped, and held together by G R A N T.
