Trapdoor international psychedelic mystery mix (2005)

Mustache Soul delves deep into the bizarre world of outsider drum machine soul from the late 70′s and early 1980′s. A mix by Thes One, all songs were taken from original vinyl pressings and the mix is an even hour of full curl power. And no, he can’t tell you what track number x is. The secret of the mustache is remaining tight lipped.

Thes One ‎– Mustache Soul (2007)

This is crate digging legend Soulman's most ambitious release... one that influenced a new generation of vinyl maniacs in the new millennium.   The drill... snippets of breaks, beats, loops, your mama from old records.  Ya dig?

Soulman - Neva Stop Diggin' (2000)

This is a mix from DJ Nuts, one of the premier collectors of Brazilian music. The mix is dedicated to producer/arranger/composer Arthur Verocai, a man who’s talents transpired across Brazilian music through the 60′s and 70′s and culminated on his self titled debut from 1972, a record I believe to be one of the best Brazil has to offer. The mix digs deep into Verocai’s catalog of records that he’s been a part of.  The tracklist was decoded on Soul Strut.

Arthur Verocai mix

Dr. Delay, does not disappoint on this bad boy. Relinquishing 24 raer and medium raer psych tracks culled from the original vinyl recordings.

Added to Soul Strut on Tuesday, March 13, 2007

Dr. Delay - REM Sleep

This is Volume 2 of 4 from Rap Production wizard / Tuxedo co-collaborator Jake One released in 2005 (when modern soul was still virgin territory). Nothing but the ill 80s modern soul and funk.

Jake One - AR-2

DJ Kool Breez is a fixture in the Baltimore digging scene unearthing hip hop samples, drum breaks, funk, and interesting tid bits from every nook and cranny of every thrift store, antique mall, storage space, gym locker.  This was originally added to Soul Strut in 2009 and it's damn good!

DJ Kool Breez - Break Fest Vol. 1 (2009)

Greg Caz sent this to us many years a go and am just rediscovering it.  For those looking for a 60s/70s Brazilian beat primer, this is it.  24 tracks of goodness featuring Gilberto Gil, Tim Maia, Azymuth, Cassiano, Trio Ternura, etc.

THE BRAZILIAN BEAT MIX: BAILE FUNK 1 (2004)

Solid mix of Japan only rock breaks, soundtrack funk, Eastern covers of Western soul hits... This used to drive people up the wall on the forums back in the day.

DJ XXXL - Nippon Breaks Volume 1 (2005)

Canadian-native DJ Greentea was one of the first Internet-era diggers that showed the world how amazing 60s and 70s foreign library and soundtrack music really was.   This mix was released in the early 2000s when info was scarce and most of these records, a mystery.
