it’s truly amazing how well motown and disco go together.  historically, this observation borders on intuitive given the close ancestry between the two musical styles.  regardless, it still revs me up to mix the two since i am such a big fan of both.  i found some nice Stevie Wonder vocals to throw over top of a recent track from Nighty Max called “Beach Hut.”  If you’re down, run over and check out his myspace.  It’s solid.

the astute among you might recognize this one.  it was in the first AC podcast.  i made it while i was putting tracks together for the first podcast cause i liked the Nighty Max track so much but I felt it needed vocals.  A lot of the current disco house that is being made (which isn’t too much. a lot of the so called “disco” being produced right now is not disco.  don’t let beatport and blogs ((or me, for that matter)) skew your perception of music!) with half bar samples of older tracks.  While the beats are getting a nice upgrade with the help of faster tempos and contemporary mixing techniques, the overall songs are, dare i say, a bit of on the boring side.  They are just so damn repetitive.  Personally, I like music that moves and takes you somewhere.  I can only surmise that this is why my mixing sounds kinda ADD at times.  I get bored listening to the same song for too long.   But, I digress.  Anywho, i’ve been working on a few original productions and a remix for the past 2-3 weeks, so in the meantime, i decided to finish this guy off and bounce him out just for you!  that’s how nice i am.

supermucho – It’s All Night [Nighty Max v Stevie Wonder]

also, the mailman did bring me something nice (though i will admit i had to wait a little longer than expected), so prepare for a new podcast real soon.  pending the northeast does actually get a snow storm rendering me trapped in doors, i may just record it this weekend.

for the next podcast, i was originally trying to decide whether to give you some head bangin, face smashing, electro bugaloo or a little taste of the blues. i can’t even tell you the countless number nights i spent agonizing over this dilemna as they are both quite close to my heart (though i will admit the latter is a shade closer). fortunately for me, jersey shore, my new favorite television program (mostly cause “always sunny” was a touch downhill this past season) made the decision for me -> house! so i’ve been gathering some groovy records in preparation for it and it’s going to take me a few more days as i had to order some older tracks that i couldn’t find online. and no, i don’t remember a time when songs weren’t released online either. me and napster were buddies in 7th grade. nevertheless, i managed to find a few tracks that were put out on something called a “vinyl.” they were just so good that i would have been doing you all a great disservice to create this mix without them, so we’ll wait a few days and hope the mailman brings me something nice.

in the interim, i thought i’d throw you a couple mixes by some other djs since it turns out that i’m not the only person who mixes. weird. i know, right? anywho, here’s a couple to check out.

Todd Edwards – Treehouse mix

A Christian dj and producer based out of jersey, Todd has been in the game for close to two decades and consistently puts out quality. He co-produced “Face to Face” with Daft Punk which was a #1 in 2004. He is undoubtedly a favorite of mine and an absolute legend. This is a recent garage house promo mix he put together in support of his monthly Treehouse party in Brooklyn.  It’s so good I’m listening to it right now.

Henry’s Roller Disco Mix

If you liked the first podcast, you’ll like this mini mix.  It’s a bit of old school, chilled out disco with some modern flair, perfect for all those evenings at the roller rink.

Dirty South Joe – Brick Bandits Breakout!

Dirty South Joe and the Brick Bandits are a local DJ/Producer collective that is best known for their baltimore/philly club beats.  this is a mix of just that.   it came out a year ago on the Mad Decent Podcast which i highly rec subscribing to if you enjoy hearing music you’ve never heard before.  furthermore, Mad Decent is a philly record label run by Diplo.  what’s not to love??

Essential Mix 5-24-2008 – MSTRKRFT

if you didn’t go to the MSTRKRFT show at the E factory on new years, you missed out on a solid time.  they are canadian and they play electro and other fun stuff.

Essential Mix 4-10-2005 – Mylo

Dear Mylo,  please release more music. sincerely, mucho

for those wondering, the Essential Mix is a weekly program on BBC Radio 1 where they invite a prolific dj or producer of the times to do a two hour mix of whateve they want.  it’s almost always awesome.  except when they have hardcore techno guys on…….i’m not a huge fan of techno.  on a related note, BBC Radio 1 is probably the best radio station in the world.  I think it’s on satellite, but for those us not fortunate enough, you can stream it live from their website and i suggest you check it out.  Annie Mac’s show on friday afternoons (2-4pm EST) is particularly amazing.

that’s all i got for you tonight.  if you got something, throw me a link in the comments and then everyone else can enjoy it too!
