Gift of Gab was most definitely a big part of my life's soundtrack since high school. I might have seen Blackalicious in concert more often than any other group. He was one of the most brilliant emcees I've ever heard, and from all accounts was just a great human. Sending love out to his family and friends. This is just a short tribute mix with a few favorite tracks and a few samples that give me that feeling that became part of the legendary music he and Chief Xcel made together. RIP.

Walking in Space - Live Stream April 2024

Decided to go back to the Serato box (yes I still rock the original Serato 1 box and have yet to upgrade) and just "freestyle" a mix of all kinds of joints! Ran through a number of things and kept it all around 98bpm, per the title of this episode. Might start doing this once in awhile - fun to just mix stuff quickly and see what happens. Enjoy!

Pullin from the Stacks - Around 98bpm Mix

Fresh off the brand new, first-time, digital-release of the Jigmastas' seminal debut 'Infectious' (djspinna.bandcamp), our host Peter Agoston and the one and only DJ Spinna caught up for a casual convo on Spinna's storied career. A hour or so barely scratches the surface with Spinna, whose production credits roots go deep between hip-hop, house, funk and beyond - but the guys manage to cover plenty of ground. Recorded in Brooklyn, NY in Nov of 2017 - enjoy, subscribe, and spread the word! Oh, and cop that 'Infectious' re-issue!

Ep. 60 - DJ Spinna

Several inspirational artists left us recently, including the great Junior Mance, whose records I've really loved since DJ Center put me onto him years ago. RIP Mr. Mance, RIP Ricky Powell, RIP Double K, RIP DOOM...condolences to everyone who's lost loved ones and to others in the hip-hop and broader community who drew inspiration from the incredible work these folks and others put in over the years. Keep your heads up everyone. 

Tracklist: Junior Mance Tribute Set, Grant Green, Sergio Mendes
