This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight is a bit different, in that I introduce a new list to the show's rotation -- my discoveries of the previous year. I listened to a lot in 2024, and some of it was released prior to 2024; I want to highlight those discoveries. Bit more diverse, in terms of genres, than usual on the show, but when you're mainly a hip hop head, new discoveries can tend to pop up from other realms.

Esthero - Thank Heaven 4 You (T.Mix)

gotta keep this workin

I didn't have a conventional "white kid" childhood. My mom's idol was Diana Ross and she loved everything Motown. We would watch Soul Train and have our own little dance parties in our basement. I was particularly drawn to Jody Watley's evolution on that show and eventually her career as a whole with Shalamar and ultimately her solo work so it's incredible to have her support for my remixes of several of her tracks.

 I have been equally blown away to receive support from Esthero and Lady Miss Kier, artists I've loved from the get-go and had a huge impact on me as a queer kid making soulful music. This mix honours these women as well a several men who's discographies continue to inspire me like Theo Parrish, Marcelus Pittman, Nick Holder and Moodyman. I'll never forget being 16 years old when my dad took us on our first trip to Detroit. I had several hundred dollars saved up from my part-time job...spotted a specialty record store, got him to drop me off and pick me up  2 hours later after blowing ALL of my money on all kinds of amazing records. This mix highlights Dj's, musicians and artists that continue to inspire me and shape my musical education/appreciation.

  1. Esthero—Dragonfly (Regent Park Mix The Fantasy Clinic)
  2. Ark-Floyd
  3. Andrés-Cantforgetaboutyou
  4. Moodyman-Stoneodenjoe
  5. Nick Holder-In Love
  6. Andrés-Skate This Way

  8. Natural Rhythm-The Jive (Eclectic Dub)
  9. Bjak-Spirited Away
  10. 3 Chairs-All Over

Rhode Trip

Thanks for checking me out. I use music as a form of self-expressive therapy. I'm not really interested in being a public figure/celebrity etc. I do however enjoy creating soundscapes in hopes to write music for independent film projects, soundtracks for physical performers to unleash to, and everything in between. I'm inspired by so many incredible artists, it's sometimes too much for me to take in, but it's what keeps me going in this fucked up, and sometimes beautiful world. Music for me is an art-form. I particularly enjoy "remixing" artists I respect and appreciate artistically. I prefer to refer to my "remixes" as interpretations and I always try to challenge the architecture of a song but always respecting the foundation...it's also a way of saying "thank you" for bringing some kind of pleasure to my life.

DJ | Producer | Soul Provider | Matasuna Records | The FunkBro Show

Retro Roland Riso, has over 25 years of club experience behind the decks, with a true passion for all things funky, filled with soul and truly groovy.

As a toddler, he'd spend countless hours enjoying his parents' eclectic record cabinet; listening to artists such as The Beatles, Sergio Mendes, Sly & The Family Stone, The Turtles, Taj Mahal, even The Osmonds and Bay City Rollers.  Little did his folks realize, Roland snagged a few of those gems over the years to add to his impressive collection.  

While fully immersed in listening to music, he began learning piano at 6 years old, which inevitably launched his love to create and produce.

Once considered the "Hardest Working DJ in Philly", Retro Roland was spinning 5-6 residencies on a weekly basis, including a highly regarded internet radio show, "Sounds of The True School".  During his 4 year run, Mr. Riso's guests included Ursula Rucker, The Last Emperor, Rich Medina and Mpozi Tolbert.

He also ran a successful monthly Jazz and Soul Record Show, which was widely popular amongst record collectors, DJ's and producers, including Cash Money, Jazzy Jeff and Quest Love.

Riso also helped engineer Cozmic Cat's legendary Philadelphia party, "Groove Lounge", which brought musicians, vocalists and DJ's a platform to perform in united, rhythmic harmony, which featured a then unknown, Jill Scott.

As an URB Magazine mixtape runner-up, The Soul Provider has shared the bill with incredible performers, including Afrika Bambaataa, Felix Da Housecat, Dubtribe, King Britt, DJ Craze, Vikter Duplaix, house pioneer Robert Owens and the legendary Barbara Tucker.  He recently opened up for Grammy nominated artist, Flo-Rida.

A number of Retro's remixes are in regular rotation on The Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show, featured on BBC Radio 6, with funk 45 releases on Matasuna Records.  Plus, Roland hosts a weekly music broadcast, The FunkBro Show, on RadioActiveFM.

Notorious for working the crowd and rocking the dance floor, Riso maximizes every opportunity to drop a funky "Retro Roland Riso" remix, morphing the room into a sweaty, swanky frenzy!

To those of you looking for the slowed + reverb version of "Benji the Dog" by Mac Miller (RIP), it was copyright claimed after 15,000 plays. If you're desperate for the mp3, dm me here and we can work something out.
