I'm back in the mix after a ridiculous 7 month publishing hiatus. What can I say... other priorities put this blog on ice for a bit. Thanks to everyone who's emailed asking what's up and encouraging me to post again. It's motivated me knowing that a few of you were missing the updates.

Most of my mixes tend to be funk and hip-hop focused. This one is a sampling of house tracks, mainly on the deep/jazz/afro side of the spectrum. If you like this mix, also check out mix # 6.

More to come this summer. Stay tuned.

This latest mixtape is a bit scattered. No real focus or inspiration - I just pulled a bunch of tunes and tried to make it work. Some of my favorites are in here, so if you're not feeling the entire playlist, at least check out these tracks: "Dis-information," Lanu's broken beat soul cut, is absolutely killer. "Helpless" by Decaff (aka DJ Noir) has one of those addictive rhythms that never tires. And if you slept on the 80s classics "Cool" by The Time and "I'm Freaky" by O'Bryan, then definitely take a listen.

This one's kind of all over the place. Just a bunch of tunes - new and old - that I'm feeling at the moment. It's a bit more on the party tip than some of my other mixes. Sidenote...while visiting my aunt/uncle last Xmas, I discoved the Rick James track hidden away with a bunch of old LPs in their basement. Who knew the familia could be so funky??
