52M-017: Damp Squib

Don't know what it's been like where you are but we've had some proper harsh weather here this week, so here's a mix of rainy day music I put together this morning while the heavens opened outside.

It's mostly loungey downtempo stuff, with nods to hip-hop, jazz, disco and soul along the way.

I suspect it *might* work equally well on a sunny afternoon. I'll let you know about that when summer decides to arrive...

52M-015: Bare Grillz

Summer and long balmy sunny days approach us (optimistic as ever) so I thought i'd jump the gun and knock out a BBQ mixtape. I'll probably do a few of these as the warmer weather gets more consistent, and this one's quite a relaxed mix to get us started. A "soaking the firelighters and prepping the Pimms" or "welcoming guests to the lawn" selection, if you will.

Make sure your guests/kids don't mind bad language cos there's a bit of it on the hip-hop tracks. Thing is if you're doing it right the guests will be swearing over how fucking good your grilled meats are, so no worries in the long run.

Enjoy! and always ensure your poultry is thoroughly cooked through...

Back to the horizontal listening selections this week, with this mix being aimed squarely at the stoners.  Actually it's not all downtempo, and it does pick up somewhat as it progresses.

52M-007: Soul Suite 2

Another installment in the Soul Suite series this week, recorded live as part of a two hour show on Purple Radio's "Saturday Soul".

Very much a mix of two halves, this one starts out nice and mellow and eventually moves uptempo to a slightly more broken beat, housier selection to close. I hope you enjoy.
