Black Music

As the head of the enigmatic 2000BLACK imprint and revered as one of London’s most important musical visionaries, Dego continues to pioneer forward-thinking soulful music across all tempos and is never restrained by genre, only influenced by quality.

Dego's own words on the mix:
Electric & borderline erratic dj set which includes a mixture of hiphop, beat juggling, acid house boogie,jazz and techno for an assured unique experience.

Here we go with another installment of my brother Colin Dale's infamous "Abstract Dance" Radio Show on London's KISS FM.
On thiz show, Colin features Detroit's Theo Parrish fresh from thee airport with jet lag & still rockin' it like only he can. 
Also a nice interview with Theo. I like what Theo says about the beats on Techno slowed down & having more room for the frequencies to spread, giving that kick that nice punch. For those who know me well & ever heard my past live techno set's in clubs & radio shows... I agree with Theo 100 %!! I have been doing the same right from the beginning & when I make muzik.
Anyhow, thiz iz a keeper!! Get your download & hit that follow button so you won't be left out in the future.
Also, Big Upz 2 my brotha Felix Allen 4 recording thiz 4 me back in 1998' ...Loveya homie!!

Enjoy & God Bless,

Colin Dale ft.Theo Parrish - KISS FM, London, UK July 30th, 1998'(Manny'z Tapez)

Daco returns to the label after a busy year touring with the Elektrons across Europe and productions for his own Magnetic Recordings imprint. ‘Round & Round’ twists and breaks as Mike Rapheal’s cool vocal gives the essential dose of soul to work the dancefloor. The track has proved very popular pre release with spins off promo cdr from Zed Bias, Domu and many of the broken beat scenes key players.

Round & Round

look what I found on my hard drive. This was a little 30 min cdr Marc Mac did for Radio promo a few years back, has a few studio out-take versions, makes a nice Friday night 'get down' tape.

Info:
After one and a half decades and more than 450 releases, Compost Records bundles some of their finest tunes as Various Artists digital download compilation albums. The variety and full spectrum of Compost’s repertoire has never or rarely been presented in form of a musical genre compilation. These releases will be compiled or DJ-mixed by Compost’s artists and are available as digital downloads, except in some rare cases very very limited as 500 CDs.

For this selection, our label mate Eddy Ramich (Eddy Meets Yannah) dug in the Compost archive for the finest Broken Beat and NuJazz gems from almost forgotten times. Big names like Moonstarr, Domu, Seiji or Alex Attias mark the highlights, but also Compost classics from the likes of Kyoto Jazz Massive, Beanfield, Voom:Voom (project by Peter Kruder, Christian Prommer & Roland Appel) are represented. A unique trip to the golden era of NuJazz!

Byron the Aquarius is on a roll. As well as being a key proponent in the American house scene, and after a time spent as a producer for others, he is now making very much part of the conversation over in Europe. His music has landed on Theo Parrish’s Sound Signature, Kyle Hall’s Wild Oats and is forthcoming on Eglo. It is warm and deep, with the organic edge and smartly sampled soul that makes US house music so appealing.  A keys player by trade, he is also a formal student of jazz, and all this shines through in his recorded output as well as the records he mixes together all over the world. 

Over the course of an hour for us, Byron serves up breezy and musical house grooves dripping with cosmic keys, jazz looseness and timeless good time vibes. It’s a mix with a big heart and effortless mixing style that manages to be deep but dynamic, and is one of the reasons we are so excited for him to play with us in Amsterdam in August.

Los Angeles based DJ, multi-instrumentalist, rapper, and music producer Madlib let his mind free wheeling and prepared a Carhartt WIP Radio show that accompanies the Medicine Show Europe Tour 2012 featuring Freddie Gibbs, J Rocc, and himself. His mix features unreleased, unheard, and exclusive Madlib material in combination with some known stuff out of his musical universe. An edgy twisted, 47 minutes long collage that melds hip hop and audio drama into one big psychedelic trip.

Here's some classic radio from WGCI Chicago.  
I guess this is way before they invented "house music".  LOL

This cassette tape is over 40 years old.  Recorded and re recorded over a thousand times or more.  A real work horse, and not even Maxell!!!
