Gumbo Limbo Spirituals

Sent to us by our friend Spacefuzz (aka Chuck King, Mayor of Los Angeles). He's been a friend and musical beacon as well as an inspiration for the past 20 years. I'm so happy he was able to contribute this collection of music, some familiar, some very strange, from his desert retreat. As a drinker, he's always favored the brown spirits - in particular, he is rather sentimental for a well-made Rusty Nail. Although this mix will pair equally well with herbaceous flavors. Obviously. :)

Got to Get in to Get Out

One of those sets you can put on any time the mood strikes. Sunday morning, or with a beer on the couch, even Sunday morning with a beer on the couch. Sometimes the sad music gives us the strength to face our emotions, and that can be quite beautiful.

What the DJs have to say...

Martin Schray:
This set takes you back to an era when New York was the hippest place on earth. It’s a time machine that zooms in on underground punk, new wave, and jazz that defined a golden age. Love goes to music on fire melding uptown and down, high and low, gay and straight culture to capture the city’s cacophony - with a drink in your hand. ..

Thomas Weber:
Gotham was going bust, its shadows darkening. As the 1970s unfolded the city sank into a swamp of crime, its streets flooded with drugs, its mounting debts needing a 1975 bailout that President Gerald Ford at first flatly refused – letting the liberal city go bust would serve as a lesson … game-changing scenes: the birth of hip-hop at the DJ showdowns of Kool Herc and Grandmaster Flash; the "loft jazz" movement instigated by David Murray and Anthony Braxton and the jazz avant-garde ...  the new strains of salsa cooked up by bandleader Willie Colón and Rubén Blades and the cerebral, minimalist composers (Arthur Russell, Philip Glass and Laurie Anderson) … Chic, Disco, Studio 54 … The upside of Gotham's decay was the availability of cheap property, especially on the Lower East Side, where musicians and artists could find living and performance space amid the decay and squalor … the collapse of its transport system, the influx of cheap Asian heroin in 1973, the "Great Dope Famine" of 1976, and the paranoia unleashed by the murder spree of "Son of Sam" in 1977...

HARD 2 B A SAINT IN THE CITY

Bohemian sonic blooms with rich tones and clean, crisp instrumentation, garnished with flexes of fat grooves and lyrical song.

In the words of DJ Roman Legelschühlm...

"We begin easy, calm and atmospheric, and then edge toward the makings of a party, but then realize, "Nope, that's not going to happen!" We smoke some doobie and get into a more "hazy vibe" 😃 and finish with a mellow, mental trip.  This is kept in a more organic, band-character framing."

There were these two young fish swimming along and they happened to meet an older fish swimming the other way. The older fish nodded at them and said, “Morning, boys. How’s the water?” The two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes “What the hell is water?” 

It's the same with music. Music is like food, like water, like air - so necessary, so essential - and here it's just itself, wanting to be nothing but its own all-encompassing version that wraps around your body like a blanket.
