Hi everybody, welcome to the 25th edition of My Favorite Things, in this Jazz world I love. I’m really happy to have as guest one of the Parisian DJ’s who has had one of the best vinyl Jazz collection I’ve ever seen: DJ Yellow. I met him at Panorama Records, the Shop where I’m currently working, and I can tell you this guy knows his music!

Before becoming one of the biggest name of the French touch movement with his label Yellow Productions which included artists like Dimitri From Paris, Joe Claussel, Salome de Bahia and of Course Bob Sinclar, DJ Yellow was during the 80’s a real old school Hip Hop DJ’s who has played at The Palace, les Bains douches and the legendary ‘Chez Roger Boite Funk’ Party at The Globo in Paris.

After a decade of fruitful cooperations and dedication to helping other people’s careers, DJ Yellow finally decided to begin Composite Records in 2009, as an outlet for his own sounds, and that of his close friends, including King Britt, Dubfire, San Soda and more. As a producter, DJ Yellow is behind many massive club hits like “No One Gets Left Behind” on Compost Records. As a true passionate musical lover, Alain Ho, continues to dig records ton complete his beautiful collection.

For My Favorite Things he did mix to trace a musical path from 60’s to nowadays. As usual I have selected the best of my last digging tracks included the brand new El Michels Affair, Jimi Tenor, Greg Foat and a new fantastic fusion jazz project called The Sultan’s Swing feat Chip Wickham.

Enjoy.

MY FAVORITE THINGS — Show #25 w/ DJ Yellow (Hosted by Psycut)

Hi Everybody, we're almost at the last edition "My Favorite Things" show of this very strange year. 

Show #29 has a very particular flavor cause I’m very happy to receive my favorite Parisian DJ : Emanuela De Luca. To welcome this very special guest, I started the show with a very special track from 1957 by a legendary french singer on a lovely jazz melody. As usual I have selected some of my last favorite diggings like the great cover of the huge spiritual jazz theme  "The Creator Has a Master Plan" by Dezron Douglas & Brandee Younger, a track from the last fusion album from Byron the Aquarius, the brand new Jimi Tenor and Kokoroko and the fabulous Sun Palace’s Edit from Moodymann on BBE. To complete my personal part, here are two lovely soul nuggets : Arthur "So close to you" with its folk attitude and the 1st reissue of the Brand New Kev Beadle Label by Dianne Mower "The Secret Sign".

The Emanuela’s mix starts with some Soul Jazz Gliding including a very actual track called « I'll sing from my window » from O'Donel Levy … if you follow what I mean !!! Her mix carries on with some great deep and mellow tunes by Eiji Nakayama, Noe's Jazz Ensemble, Tom Scott & the L.A. Express, Catalyst  and the italian Sestetto Dino Piana & Oscar Valdambrini. Gradually the selection goes into some wicked fusion Jazz Dancefloor including Ryo Kawasaki (RIP), Boy Katindig and the anthem "Sombre Guitar" by Danser's Inferno.

Enjoy !!!
