Stomp - An All Vinyl 80s Phonk Mix by DJ Raj Mahal Ep. 31

Episode 2 of our Brazil mix series with Palo Santo Discos.

Armed with a record bag overflowing with vinyl from every continent under the sun, Palo Santo Discos is a connoisseur of all things funky, exciting, and obscure.

Bossa Compactos Episode 2. A mix by Palo Santo Disocs

I came back the other week with a bag full of records I grabbed while in NYC to play for you all, but that will have to wait. In the past few days, two of the best to ever do it have transitioned after living incredible lives and giving all of us so much music and inspiration - Ahmad Jamal and Ivan "Mamao" Conti. It only felt right to pay tribute to them both on this episode. I tried to play some tunes, especially from Jamal's catalogue, that aren't the big sample-famous ones, but are favorites none the same.

I've done two other mixes dedicated to Jamal in the past, who is my favorite pianist ever, whose music has been so important to me, whose records my dad passed down to me. Admittedly only in more recent years have I become more familiar with Conti's work, and have completely fallen in love with it. 

Salute to these giants!

Pullin from the Stacks - Episode 224 (Ahmad and Mamao)

A year ago I was approached by Jamison Harvey from Flea Market Funk and asked to do a mix for them. I've always had a lot of respect for what they do, and always enjoyed listening to their mixes as well. I also wanted to somehow include my Butta Brother Skeme Richards. So we got together, and came up with an idea. I would do a mix, and Skeme would dub dialog from his massive VHS collection and lay it on top. Kind of a soundtrack for a movie that never happened. So, that's what we did! With that said, we present to you "Cops Crooks and Spies". Thank you everyone for your support! Peace.

'Stringfellas' - A Cinematic Funk & Soul Experience.

Download available here -> -> -> bit.ly/1Rjhzpy 

Decided to release this mix I've had in my archives for a while. Was never fully happy with it, but alas it's a new year so I'm letting it go.

As the title suggests this mix is a collection of funky, soulful and cinematic songs making good use of string arrangements.

Rev. Shines – Today’s Good News Vol. 4

Tracklist available here: https://blog.discogs.com/en/crate-diggers-mix-009-rev-shines/

Fulfill your soul and free with your mind with the latest installment of Today’s Good News, crafted specifically for Crate Diggers, in support of Crate Diggers Portland 2017. Inspired by records bought and people met from a recent trip around the world, Rev. Shines takes you on a journey of samples and discovery. This is an all-vinyl mixtape, using records found while on the road this past year.

Rev. Shines is a crate digger in its truest sense; Questlove once announced at a show in Portland, “Rev. Shines built my record collection.” Shines has performed in over 15 countries, is 1/3 of the Hip Hop group Lifesavas whom Rolling Stone Magazine touted as a “Top Band to Watch” in 2007, and DJs the most popular Hip Hop dance party in Portland, “Live and Direct”. His mixtape series, Today’s Good News has a cult following and sells out immediately online and at record stores like Turntable Lab.

While working at the Portland landmark record store, Jump Jump, Shines met and sold records to music legends like the aforementioned Questlove, J.Dilla, and Easy Mo Bee. Most importantly, he met the proverbial king of House music production, Kenny Dope, whom invited him on a world tour, DJing and digging in countries like Japan and Australia.

What does Rev. Shines sound like? A decade crossing beat visionary, inspired by golden era Hip Hop, Southern Gospel singers, and funky Brasilians from the 1970’s. His dynamic live sets simultaneously put smiles on faces, get heads nodding, and suggest feelings of an ever-present coolness.

Adrian Younge 45s Guest Mix

I enjoyed making this tape. It's a bit different from my more crunchy, vinyl-heavy mixes, but hopefully still bump-able at the local evening picnic or house party. You can do silly dances to it, or just cool out and sip a nice iced beverage while it rocks in the background. Either way, don't sleep on the Vijay Iyer's jazz cover of MIA's "Galang."

I'm planning on doing a series of "seasonal" mixes, in combination with covers from a variety of artists and photographers I know. The first cover is from world traveler, documentarian and incredible photographer Daniel Littlewood, a close friend since high school. You can find more of his photos at http://www.flickr.com/photos/daniellittlewood.

Tracklisting:

JuJu Orchestra - "Nao Posso Demorar"
Platinum Pied Pipers - "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover"
Erykah Badu - "I Want Moombah" (J Boogie Edit)
Johnny Hammond - "Tell Me What to Do" (Whiskey Barons ReWork)
Jazzanova - "Boom Klicky Boom Klack" (Mr. Scruff's Vocal Mix)
Up, Bustle and Out - "La Morena en El Viento Andaluz"
Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth - "The Creator" (Surfboard Mix)
Cal Tjader - "Borneo" (The Gaff Edit)
Gilles Peterson's Havana Cultura Band - "Orisa" (Atjazz Love Soul Remix)
Five Corners Quintet - "Unsquare Bossa"
Visioneers - "Rocket Man (Afro-Latin Joint)"
Vijay Iyer Trio - "Galang" (Trio Riot Version)
Louie Gee Ensemble - "Scrabble"
