Selecta LIVE at Preeti's Pitt 'Feel Good Fridays'-January 13 2023

From 03.07.23 "This one is for De La. This is tough. I've been streaming De La Soul's music all weekend (if you haven't been, PLEASE run up their discography's numbers on any and EVERY DSP you use), and to me, their music can be summed up in one word: sunshine. Maybe it's because it was a gorgeous spring day years ago when I ripped open the plastic wrap on my "Stakes is High" CD only to blast it on repeat in my car for hours....or maybe it's because I was obsessed with their track "Can't Call It" in the summer of 2014....but whatever the reason, their music means so much to me - "Dinninit" was on one of the first mixes I made almost 15 years ago (sheesh) that I had the confidence to share publicly (aka burning to CD/hand out/email to friends) - when I was figuring out this DJ thing. And whatever mood I'm in, I know I can bump any De La Soul track and smile."

rashida remind me

To Be Continued Brass Band, or TBC Brass Band, the subject of a documentary titled From the Mouthpiece on Back, is a jazz band formed in 2002 by young men who grew up in the 7th and 9th Wards in New Orleans, Louisiana. They sought to avoid the life that befell many of their friends and classmates involving drugs and violence by creating a jazz and brass band. The band started at Carver Senior High School in New Orleans where the band's eventual leader and tuba player, Jason Slack, borrowed instruments from Carver's band director. Some of the instruments were taped together. For example, the tuba was taped with duct tape to patch a hole in the horn. The band received permission from Carver's principal to play a set on the school grounds. The school's reaction simply was "wow," and the TBC Brass Band was on its way.

TBC started with no manager and no guaranteed gigs so the band played on the streets of New Orleans, establishing a presence on the corner of the legendary Bourbon and Canal Streets in the French Quarter. The band quickly became popular, and hordes of fans spontaneously surrounded the band and danced around the band's regular street corner. As explanation for the band members' support and love for another, the band's trumpet player succinctly states "We sometimes say, we're all we got. Well, we're all we got."

In addition, TBC continued the time-honored New Orleans tradition of leading "second line" parades at funerals of members of their community. Second line is a unique New Orleans parade where a jazz band accompanies the family of the deceased at the grave site with somber tunes. But once outside the cemetery, as the procession hits the streets, the band erupts into celebratory life-affirming music as the bereaved dance in celebration of the life of the deceased.[1]

Soul In The Horn Set | New Year's Day 01.01.2021

I don’t know if I have EVER played a deejay set that didn’t feature at least a few songs from The Soulquarians (The Roots, D’Angelo, Common, Erykah, Dilla, etc).

During this quarantine, I really found myself digging into the (digital) crates for more exclusive and interesting versions of these songs.

Low and behold, I had a LOT of dope sh*t in my computer… especially the D’Angelo remixes.

In honor of his amazing VERZUZ performance at The Apollo,  I decided to put together a little set for you.  

All remixes / rarities / good vibes.

I hope you like it as much as I do.
