another week, another set of music for your delectable little ears.
on Friday night i stood in for an absent Mat Hoods, who couldn't make his usual 8pm-10pm slot on Purple Radio. Mat's show is ace (check it out when you can) and he tends to keep things on a jazzy, disco-flavoured tip for the most part. so, when pulling tracks together for the show, i tried to keep it in line (more or less) with his style. i hope i didn't let him down!
there's a bit of inane chat on this recording too...but more importantly, a good selection of new releases. you can tell summer's almost here - there's just so much good stuff being released at the moment. mint.

count bass d - jussa playa [day by day entertainment]

weekend warm-up 08/05/09
here's the latest edition of my fortnightly Purple Radio show.
once again i was mic-less, but in the grand scheme of things that's probably a blessing. the two hours showcases the usual smattering of hip-hop, funk-based beats and electronica - with forthcoming beauts from Quantic & his Combo Barbaro, and another cut from the Speech Debelle album...whilst i also give a little nod to the excellent Bangface weekender with some dubstep (mixed terribly!) and filthy wonk.
i didn't host the show live as i had to return to Birmingham for the funeral of an old schoolfriend...and hence the last track of the show is dedicated to him.
RIP Andy Edmonds - 1982-2009
tracklisting:
count bass d - jussa playa [day by day entertainment]
kev luckhurst - dreams [unique uncut]
crown city rockers - no sense [basement records]
common - nuthin to do [relativity]

nalepa - flatlands (nosaj thing remix) [1320 records]
rupert - feel you [hear today]
thunderheist - lbg [big dada]
quantic & his combo barbaro - linda morena [tru thoughts]
troubleman - toda hora [far out recordings]
crazy penis - do it good [paper recordings]
napz & mr strom - fresh kings [innvision]
luke vibert - synthax [warp]
nirobi & barakas - bungle jump (diesler remix) [tru thoughts]
me&you - united states of africa [tru thoughts]

saturday soul 02/05/09
Saturday Soul is a weekly show broadcast on Purple Radio. as the name would suggest, the remit of the show is present two hours of soulful tunes - both classic and contemporary. running for around 18months now, the show has been a great success and is much-applauded by the listeners for its suitability to the timeslot - and also its ability to celebrate classic/forgotten soul hits, whilst simultaneously highlighting the wealth of current, or more recent, soul gems.
last weekend i stepped in at the last minute to cover the show myself, and had a lot of fun pulling the music together. again, i had no mic - but i hoped the selection i chose would speak for itself, really. as ever, i've put a download link here so if you missed the live show and fancy a couple of hours of soothing soul, feel free to have a listen! there's a bit of everything in there, from legends like Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye and Ben E. King, to current favourites such as Mary J. Blige, Kinny and Angie Stone.
tracklisting:
channel two - sposed to be
marvin gaye - right on
the soul clan - that's how it feels
angie stone - brotha
uptown funk empire - i'm a manchild
the spinners - i'll be around
maze feat. frankie beverly - color blind
gil scott-heron - gun
solange - i decided (part 1)
mary j blige - just fine
ashford & simpson - it seems to hang on
leon ware - that's why i came to california
ohio players - pain
greyboy feat. sharon jones - got to be a love
donnell jones - u know what's up
kinny feat. diesler - queen of boredness
speedometer feat. ria currie - am i your woman
esther williams - last night changed it all
timmy thomas - sexy woman

mayer hawthorne vid
happy May everybody! let's hope the summer starts properly now, eh?
thought i'd kick off the month with a corker of a video from Mayer Hawthorne (who i've raved about in my April top tunes, below). gawd bless the Stones Throw camp on this one - terrific sound, really setting a new standard for this modern soul revival that seems to be happening. the video itself is a great watch too.
enjoy...
by the way, there's some great shots from the "making of" the video HERE.
