Hi Everybody, for the 35th edition of the My Favorite Things Show I’m very happy to welcome, two brothers from Parisian suburbs: Mojazz and Azgroove. 

One is specialist in Jazz music, the other one is a great Funk Lover. It was for me very logical to focus this brand new show on the Jazz funk Music. As usual I have opening the show with some of my last digging tracks with 4 downtempo lovely nuggets.

Then the two have selected 20 masterpieces of jazz funk and fusion jazz, mainly from the 70’s (including some forgotten treasures from George Duke, Ben Sidran, Jimmy Owens, Eddie Harris, …) as well as a few future classics like the great MF Doom Cover by the Soul Supreme and the UK Jazz Funk Band The Expansions.

Enjoy !

MY FAVORITE THINGS — Show #35 w/ Mojazz & AZgroove (Hosted by Psycut)

Anushka’s recent ‘Yemaya’ album for Tru Thoughts has been on solid repeat, so we are very excited to share an exclusive mix from the duo's Max Wheeler, who has put together a special mix linking the early 80s roller boogie sound of LA  with more recent favourites and a couple of exclusives.

Max shared some words about the recording: “This mix was me trying to blow off some cobwebs and remember how to DJ after a long time away from the decks. When I got the tunes together I realised I was really drawn to the super positive sunshine party vibes of the roller boogie stuff and so started with half an hour of that and then got into some electronic bits I’ve been finding inspiring recently before dropping a couple of sneaky exclusive dubs in, including a minimal edit of album track “Serenity” which is one of our faves. Hope you all enjoy it, one to have a low key party to, even if you’re just in your yard.”

Music Is The Message, Love Is The Answer: CoOp NYE Takeover with Amalia - 31.12.2021

** Original upload from 2013 ** 

It’s quite an honour to get an exclusive mix from an artist who you’ve been buying his records for 10+ years. Marc Mac of 4Hero fame (founded with Dego) and tons of other projects like Visioneers, Nu Era has been one of the most influential forces in all sorts of cutting edge British music; from Jungle, Broken Beat to Downtempo.

Marc always shares tons of absolute treasures on twitter (@MarcMac4Hero) so we asked him to make us a mix as part of our amazing Forgotten Treasures. He dug deep for this one and delivered a fantastic mix which he affectionately calls “Weird & Wonders”

Essential Listening!
