this is how I met Zo. Well, I KNEW Zo, but I had never MET Zo. I was a fan, and loved listening to the 90s compilations him and Phonte put together all the time. After Phonte and I had worked on 4evermore, we became friends and would chop it up from time to time. Phonte called me on this and said they needed someone to play the Barry White role on this cover album. No question. DONE. I learned it and was really amazed at the simplicity in Barrys vocals, because I grew up loving the song but never noticed the details. It was a lesson in simplicity. All hail the maestro. Thanks for putting me down Zo. THIS WHOLE ALBUM IS A FREE DOWNLOAD FROM HIS SITE!

Playing Your Game, Baby Feat. Anthony David

Sunday Afternoon Groove is a smooth jazz track made for easy moments and unhurried time. The melody settles in with a relaxed confidence, riding a gentle groove that feels warm and familiar. It carries the calm of a quiet afternoon, where worries fade, and the music does the talking. Effortless and soothing, the song invites the listener to slow down, lean back, and enjoy the flow.

ANGIE STONE : Everyday (7" Edit With Acapella Intro)

Found this track on a UK jazz compilation from 2000 and fell hard. From 1999 with vocals by Pamela Anderson of D*Note & Incognito fame, wanted to shine a light on this gem with a bit of additional love.

DJ/PRODUCER/RECORD DEALER

FULL BIOGRAPHY:
With a love for DJing that began in grade school when using two tape decks to spin basement parties, TREW’s main aim is to weave a common thread through seemingly disparate genres. Drawing inspiration from the early 1980s NYC art/music world, he believes no genre is off limits, no collaboration too outlandish. Honing his chops East Cost Rave & Hip-Hop scenes (Baltimore/DC), it was Chicago’s wealth of musical and architectural history that pulled him westward. “Like most kids back then, I thought ‘Percolator’ was a Baltimore Club track. Once I found out the truth I knew this is where I was meant to be!” he exclaims. Soon after, he quit his corporate job, cashed in the 401k, and invested his life into music.

Since landing in the Windy City, TREW has performed or held residencies all across Chicagoland.  Played stages at West Fest, Spring Awakening, Do Division, Taste of Randolph, and North Coast Music Festival. And he has been lucky enough to perform with artists like Snoop Dogg, Mayer Hawthorne, People Under The Stairs, Keys N Krates, Nightmares On Wax, Mint Condition, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Jeremiah Jae, Bobbito, House of Pain, Van Hunt, Jneiro Jarel, Devin the Dude, Bonobo, Cut Chemist, Quantic, Currensy, Afrika Bambaataa, MF Doom, Mos Def, and dozens more.

While not DJing he co-owns Ground Lift Media - a  digital marketing + brand strategy company, is 1/2 of the DJ/Production duo Altered Tapes, owns and operates Heat Rock Records, and is deep into vinyl excavation having amassed thousands of rare Soul, Funk, Disco, & Jazz records. A hobby/obsession he shares with the world via his Miyagi Records Shop.
