Thanks to everyone came out and had a blast with us last night. Another classic Diskotaket night. We're stoked as hell! Happy birthday to our special guest Kimichi which turned 27 yesterday! Thanks to all the dancers. I was planning on posting the whole set, but due to some peaking and stuff, I decided to just use the first set of each DJ for the mix. We'll try to record our next night also, so I can post it online for all the listeners/collectors/funksters around. If you're not from Norway and happens to visit Oslo, make sure you find your way to one of our parties. Hit play, crank up the volume and have some drinks.

My Ain't No Big Thing radio show (http://djshmeejay.com/aint-no-big-thing-radio-show/), broadcast on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month from 9pm - 11pm (GMT) / 4pm - 6pm (EST) / 1pm - 3pm (PST) at http://boxfrequency.fm.

This week I have the absolute pleasure to host none other than https://soundcloud.com/aarondae. Aaron embraces tracks steeped in the classic 90s house vein as well as grooves of the cosmic and disco sort. In whichever realm he works, the Brooklyn-bred artist intertwines a soulful commonality into his sound. Its good music understood on all levels. In addition Aaron is also one half of the men behind the edits label Razor-N-Tape, the other being cohort JKriv. Thus far, Razor-N-Tape has enjoyed breakout success with releases by Brooklyn’s Deep&Disco aka JKriv, Australia’s Late Nite Tuff Guy,  New Zealand’s Hit It & Quit It right hand man Frank Booker, Parisisan edit-meister Dimitri From Brooklyn, Hamburg's Lovebirds, and Japanese pianist/producer Kan Sano for an exclusive 7″ release on Record Store Day to name but a few.  In short, Aaron is a musical force that you should listen to.

DJ Neil Armstrong - Original [rscarrab]

"Back in May of 2016, a message from my good friend Mark de Clive-Lowe showed up in my inbox. It was an email introduction connecting Eric Crandell (the founder of 101 Apparel) with me for a possible collaboration project. Over the years, 101 Apparel had collaborated with a list of acclaimed DJs, artists and music producers for their limited-edition "101 Apparel Artist Series", so I was quite honored when they reached out to me as well.

 At the time, Mark and I were riding the wave from my Sound Signature release, "Moon Circuitry", a raw uptempo dance-oriented song which features his brilliant keyboard playing in combination with some soulfully-unapologetic "slap you in your mouth" music I produced. The record broke boundaries, won awards and opened eyes in ways I didn't anticipate, majorly catapulting me back into the music production scene after my 5 year hiatus away from releasing records. And things have been growing stronger and stronger ever since...something I'm beyond grateful for. So when the 101 Apparel opportunity presented itself, I knew immediately that it would be important to connect the dots back to my history...helping my new audience I've acquired in the current underground dance chapter of my career, to also have a taste of my roots in underground hip-hop, etc.

For the exclusive promo 7-inch, I wanted to revisit a song favorite I produced and recorded with Mos Def, and on the flip, include a previously unreleased song I produced and recorded with Yukimi Nagano (prior to the formation of the band Little Dragon she's now become famous with).

Constantly touring and DJing internationally this entire time, it's taken longer for everything to finalize for this project, but I knew once all was completed, it would be special. Plus being that 2018 marks the 25th anniversary since my music was first released on vinyl, I felt this was also the perfect way to remind or enlighten folks that I didn't just pop onto the music scene in 2015. Despite my youthful appearance, I've been at this for quite a long time. It's remained important for me to not only continue to challenge myself in new ways, but to maintain the balance of staying true to the principles that my legacy was first founded on...the things that I've learned from the greats that came before me. 

Collecting records since the age of 5 means that diggin' for music has literally been threaded into the fabric of my lifestyle the last 4 decades. It's been a lifelong journey of discovery, education and pure joy that keeps me growing, learning and sharing. So I definitely wanted my DJ mix to reflect this. My goal was to cohesively weave a slow-building story using numerous vinyl gems from various soulful genres I've collected over the years...records that would eventually inspire the listener to get up out of their seat and dance, evoking the kind of inner happiness that only music from the soul can fill us with. Whether we're familiar with the music or not, or what year it was recorded and released...good music that moves us remains timeless in my opinion. And hopefully through my selections, this becomes apparent...enjoy!" - GE-OLOGY

GE-OLOGY "STAYS DIGGIN" MIX CD

I was very impatient to drop this new episode of selected groovy-reggae joints. So here is the 6th episode of Red Stripe Disco. 

As usual, you will here a fine selection of JA/Reggae related Disco, Modern Soul, Funk & Soul joints. Most of them are really under-rated & misknown or obscure. All of them are productions outta JA or involving JA people around the world (UK, US, CAN). No need to say none of them have been repressed or compiled - not that I know at least.

Enjoy the Skanky JA Vinyl Attack! Feedback & Sharing Welcomed!

Red Stripe Disco Vol.6 - Selected & Mixed by Waxist

Here is the re-mastered version of my mixtape released a while back. Much louder, and much cleaner than my original upload. Enjoy!

Shelf Arrangements

Happy to be able to share with you a new Red Stripe Disco episode, two years after the precedent one! 
As usual, I gathered cool records related to Reggae & Jamaican artists. The selection here ranges from down-tempo soul ballads to dancing boogie things, through Lovers Rock & other smoking dubs. 

I guess it would be the perfect time to drop the mix now with the * HOT * weather here in Europe! 

Enjoy !!!

Red Stripe Disco Vol. 13
