HIT IT AND QUIT IT- June 15, 2009

Yo, I have been on VACATION!!! Its been great, but my apologies for not finding the time to post the June 15 show until now. Its chock full of new stuff, namely from the Recloose and Frank Booker vaults (including new remixes for Shake Aletti and Los Amigos Invisibles). With main man Chris Cox on the co-host duties... Playlist and links below.

Also, want to say biggups to everybody that made it to the Recloose gigs in Montreal and Ottawa. And mad thanks to Andy Williams, Moonstarr, Claudia, and Sara at Mercury Lounge for the primo hospitality. Check the myspace site for new Recloose gig details for NYC this Friday July 3 (Turntables on the Hudson), July 4 in DC (18th Street Lounge), July 10 in Chicago (The Buddha Lounge), and July 11 in Detroit (Cliff Bell's with Dennis Coffey Band!).

Me and the crew will be back on July 20 (with deep crates fresh from the trip), in the meantime you can check out Pete Nice amply rocking the fort until then. And thanks to Ben Lawson for stayin on top of the shows too...

HIT IT AND QUIT IT - May 11, 2009

Sorry for taking an extra little bit to get the latest show up, shit is thick! At the moment I'm finishing a remix for Sunburst Band, fine-tuning the Starblazers, getting ready for a pending trip to the states, playing lots of gigs, and looking after a sick lil dude for the last few weeks. Simultaneously...

But such is life. I was tempted not to post this show as its the outcome of the craziness I speak of (four gigs, three days, three cities). That said, the 'music for hibernation' set has some moments... Been looking for my Jaco record for awhile too, nice to dig it out.

[NOTE: I listened through to pt. 2 five times trying to find the ad break... did I forget to play it or is it still in there? my bad if it is, ugh.]

The Crown Heights Affair- Dreaming A Dream (Disco)

One of my favorite CHA joints... I recently heard the vocal break on a Moxie 12" so thought I'd post the original... get it while its good. Off to the radio!

The Crown Heights Affair- Dreaming A Dream (Disco) [320]

Why Sheep?- Earthborn (Recloose Remix)

This came out in 2002. I didn't know anything about 'Why Sheep?' but the remix turned out pretty nice...

What I take away from this was how dope the Waldorf Microwave XT was (think 'Get There Tonight'). Need to get that one back into the bunker.

And if anybody wants a copy of that 'Absence of One/Can't Take It Demo-Megamix' say the word and I'll put it up this week...
