I've been interviewing and documenting People Under The Stairs for over 20 years, our first was in 1999 (see end of this episode) in Mid City, Los Angeles at the Cambridge Street house of our guest Chris Portugal aka Thes-One - where I sat with him and his partner Double K as they recorded their sophomore album 'Question In The Form of An Answer'. Today, on this episode, in this conversation, we reflect on our friend Mike Turner aka Double K, the late, great, beloved friend, partner, producer, DJ, rapper, dog lover, husband, son, cousin, brother, best dude. Please spread the word about this podcast as well as buy the vinyl of Farewell, My Friend at puts.band - and stream the project anywhere.

Ep. 149 - Thes-One - 'Farewell, my friend' - in conversation

I have always been a huge fan & decided to do a little dance tribute to the only man wearing heels that still made my heart skip a beat, loved his music, creativity & talent #Respect #GoneToSoon #PaisleyPark #PurpleLove

Prince Roger Nelson

Tribute To Prince By DJ Cent Detroit

It's Solid Steel resident DJ Moneyshot and his latest epic mix, You Are The Infinity. Looks like he's put down his trademarked party-starting record bag this week and plumped for a selection from the crate marked 'deep'. The crisp drum kicks of vintage Jungle get added to a hypnotic dose of self-help records, Rock breaks, classic Hip-Hop and downtempo beats. Wax Doctor, Moby Grape, Organized Konfusion, Pixies and Daedelus all get some treatment. It's a headphone odyssey!

Solid Steel Radio Show 19/2/2010 Part 1 + 2 - DJ Moneyshot

the longtime homie de la graciously invited me to his basement to dj his "blast from the past" home exhibit displaying his late grandmother's lovely collection of photos, memorabilia, and music...I was honored to be able to pull records from her stash and mix them on the spot...! here is one hour of the proceedings...

Live set from the Chill Room on the last Sunday of 2024. Hosted by Striz. I was able to play after him, and before Shon Dervis. Everyone snapped. I bangled it gently - word to Merrick.

Imagine shopping in one of those incredible record stores that seems to have everything that was ever made hiding, unorganized, in a series of crates barely kept safe in a damp basement that smells exactly as you'd imagined wet cardboard and dusty vinyl would smell like.  The crates are stacked so high, and the space between rows is so narrow, that catastrophe seems inevitable and you're wondering if those towers of music would happen to fall on top of you, how many years would it be before someone found your body?  (And would that improve the smell?)  

And imagine, in a treasure trove that would make the most niche northern soul trainspotter squeal with joy, you find a record that you'd never heard of before.  A female vocal'd mellow soul classic, coming in at a shuffling 105bpm and featuring organs, strings, and a rather psychedelic guitar.  The track is rhythmic, but not in your face.  It definitely feels like a smart European soft soul track from the 1960s--just enough of that mellow pop sheen (and plenty of reverb) all over it.    

The name on the faded label says that the song title is "Goodbye My Love" by a band you've never heard of before.  Interbay.  Not a lot of other information can be found on the label, other than it seems to be the product of PLW Records, which you also have never heard of.  

You take this curious thing to a nearby listening station and you drop the needle on it.  The vinyl has definitely seen some wear, so even a good cleaning to make it a bit less dusty might not make it sound pristine.  Being a production of a certain time, there are interesting choices made when it comes to the stereo spectrum and an almost haphazard attention to the mix overall, at times.  

But, you think it is rather charming...and you decide to add it to your pile of precious vinyl you'll be purchasing today.  You can't wait to bring it home, where you can start to do some research on it--but before you do, the cashier does something interesting.  

He doesn't charge you anything for this particular track.  You don't want to alert him to his mistake, but he volunteers that "that one isn't what you think it is...so, you can just have it."

As long as it is a groovy retro soul pop tune, you're quite happy to take it off their hands.  

(And, if you haven't found one of these Interbay "Goodbye My Love" 7" singles out there in the wild--and, I have to say that it would be extremely unlikely that you would--at least now, you can listen to it.  Find out if you like it, and if you do, you should give it a like--repost it, share it, add it to a playlist, leave a comment, etc.  And follow this page for more Interbay.  This is the 499th day that a never-before-heard Interbay track has been posted here on Soundcloud, so it does make a difference for you if you follow along and can keep up with it all--AND it helps me, as you can imagine.  (Though, not monetarily...just in vibes, at least for now.))  

I really do hope you like this one!  (I mean, I hope you like EVERY Interbay track--but this one in particular, especially considering the positive response that "Kick Off Your Shoes"--the most recent soul-style Interbay track--has received over the past couple of months--it is, after all, the most listened to Interbay track of all time.)
