Therapy 55 Nu Africa

Delicious Vinyl brings you Sunset Blvd, the new album from Yancey Boys, the group piloted by John “Illa J” Yancey and Frank Nitt. The dynamic new collection is built around previously unheard tracks created by Illa J’s brother: the late, great J Dilla (James Yancey). With Frank Nitt’s standing as J Dilla Music Catalog Curator and the official approval of Yancey Media Group, all productions on Sunset Blvd originate from The Lost Scrolls — the stunning cache of beats Dilla left behind.

With its rapturous single “Quicksand” featuring Common, Sunset Blvd also teams Yancey Boys with De La Soul’s Posdnuos (“Beautiful”), The Pharcyde’s SlimKid3 (“Rock My World”), and T3 of Slum Village (“Jeep Volume”), making it clear that the Dilla legacy is being represented by those who knew and collaborated with Dilla in his lifetime. Additional guests on Sunset Blvd include DJs Rhettmatic, C-Minus, and JRocc (Beat Junkies) as well as rap roughneck Guilty Simpson and R&B strongman Eric Roberson. “We’ve created an album that would make Dilla proud,” says Frank Nitt, who grew up with Dilla in Detroit. “But this isn’t a nostalgia trip: Dilla’s beats were so future-forward that they’re right on time in 2013, and we’ve assembled the best artists possible to represent that.”

DJ Wonway Posibul - Live on Thinkbeat Radio October 2013

"In the Bay Area, DJ Wonway Posibul’s Makossa Classics has been something of legend it seems. Spawned by a very popular Oakland party, Volume 1 has infused ears and got heads nodding from Oaktown to Brooklyn, and the equally ambitious follow up, Makossa Classics Volume 2 plans to do the same. Blending everything from classic Soul to Afrobeat and Latin rhythyms, Makossa is hands down going to be your soundtrack to the summer (and if you’ve experienced the Freshetic BBQ’s in Brooklyn it already is!)."- thecouchsessions.com *** *IF I RUN OUT OF DOWNLOADS ON SOUNDCLOUD, YOU CAN DOWNLOAD DIRECTLY HERE: http://royayersproject.com/2011/08/wonway-makossa-classics-vol-2-mixtape-download-2011/ ****

Makossa Classics Vol. 2 FULL MIX

The mix that started it all. Makossa Classics initially came about as a 30 minute demo that I used to give to venues and promoters when I was looking for gigs. The mix consisted of some of my favorite songs I was playing at a new Tuesday weekly in Oakland called "Makossa" with my partner Joe Quixx. I thought the types of music we were mixing and the way we played them were unique and I wanted to capture that. I always got a good response when I would play the demo for friends so on the eve of the 2nd anniversary of our Makossa party I decided to add 30 more minutes and make it an official mix as a giveaway at the party. Long story short the response was great, Makossa traveled across the Bay and across the country to New York, and Vol. 2 came to light a couple of years later. For those that have only heard Vol. 2 and are hearing this for the first time I'm sure the voicemail intro will make a little more sense now. Hope you enjoy! -Wonway

Dj P. - Directions (Mixtape)

2016 was a year to be remembered.. 

Our hearts and souls were constantly being tested by the world. Hate and mistreatment of others wasn’t just part of our everyday conscious but normalized, propped up, and in the case of this country given office. 

For many (myself included), music is our release, escape, and medicine. We look to artists and musicians for solace in these difficult times, yet somehow 2016 wouldn’t even allow for that. Maybe it’s just the internet and the access to information we have now but I can’t remember another year in my life where so so many of our artistic and musical vanguard left us. From lesser known session players to the all mighty superstars, the world felt a little more lonely.

I decided to create this mixtape to commemorate and celebrate this long list of artists. Though I did extensive research and attempted to be as thorough as possible there was no way I could respectfully pay tribute to all and make this an enjoyable mixtape that wouldn’t be 5 hours long. My apologies in advance to Sir George Martin, Juan Gabriel, Leonard Cohen and many others (I still don’t understand how there’s only one EW&F song on here). In their place I included a few of the lesser known but still impactful losses such as Big Kap, DTTX, and Mic Gillette. Most of these songs have close personal connection to me whether as a song I learned about on my journey as a DJ, a song I’d jam to with my Mom or Aunt, a sample I rapped on, music I cruised and/or smoked to, or a late night dedication to a young crush.

As we finish our first month of 2017 with no signs of respite in sight I’ve thought a lot about spirit. The spirit of the people and the spirit of these beautiful artists. Though they have left the physical plain their spirit and soul is still very much here living on in their music and living through us. Creating this mix reminded me of that and I’m extremely grateful for it. May it serve as an example of hope and love as we continue on and la lucha sigue. 

We’re here and we’re not going anywhere… 

peace,
Wonway Posibul

This is from a show I do every Tuesday night called Thinkbeat Radio. I normally handle the hosting duties, but every now and then I'll be "guest DJ" and do a mix. After listening to most of my Thinkbeat mixes again after they're recorded I end up not liking 'em that much, but this particular one is still alright with me. The mixing for the most part isn't super fancy, but I like the song selection, and I figured it'd be cool to share since this mix has some of my other music loves: hiphop, soul, electronic (for lack of a better term). If you like this, you should definitely check out Thinkbeat Radio every Tuesday 6-7pm pst on www.alldayplay.fm. Our resident DJ Dion Decibels kills it on the regular. You can also follow us at www.twitter.com/thinkbeatradio.

Thinkbeat Radio Episode 103- 1/17/12

Originally inspired by a mix I made for an ex-girlfriend's 1 year "date-aversary", I decided to expand on some of the blends and redirect the concept a bit. Where that mix was my love letter to her, this mix's sole responsibility is "mood" music. Many songs here talk about "love" but just as many cover heartbreak, lust, and just flat out seduction; all emotions and actions that can take place on one of those memorable evenings where the planets align and desire and impulse perfectly intertwine. This mix is not about squeezing in as many slow jams as I can in an hour plus. The songs are meant to play for a while, the blends are meant to be stretched out. Wait til it gets dark tonight, press play, lay back, and let the music be your guide. I'm sure you'll figure out the rest later on...

Thank you to Dion Decibels for all the engineering help and patience, AshRose for the beautiful artwork, Bounce aka Baby Tigre for the letters & formatting (thank you as well Scott), Eduardo Torres & Carolina Barajas for your vocal talents, my old Sunday Musiquarium crew for helping me cultivate my love for these sounds, and of course Ms. Juju for that first date years ago. 

Enjoy..
