Happy Sunday y’all and welcome to another exclusive all social music mix for your ears! Mizo was out of town so I invited YAKOOB! into the lounge to help me lay this one down. Being a player and appreciator and recent inductee into the vinyl addict club he fell through with a crate of the latest gems he has unearthed out there in the dusty bins. You are in for a run through the gamut of styles this music can encompass. New and old, classic and fusion and everything in between. Turn it up, get ready to dance, clean your house or just relax on this beautiful day of rest. Thank you all for riding with us and stay tuned for some exciting developments in our continual progression to expose sounds. Ahmad Jamal “Raincheck” Return To Forever “Sofistifunk” Rainer Bruninghaus “Elbow Room” Count Basie & His Orchestra “Blue & Sentimental” Dizzy Gillespie & Machito “Calidoscopico” King Khan “Follow The Mantis” Al Jarreau “I’m Home” George Benson “The Borgia Stick” Herb Alpert & Th...

  Hitting ya'll with another round of the usual for this fine Sunday. Mizo & I connected in the Musik Lounge with stacks of wax and laid down this groovy session for ya'll to ride out your Labor Day weekend with. Mizo kicked this one off with Teebs & Panda Bear before sliding into Talking Heads which prompted me to let "Slave" take it away. Our flow in the Lounge is always spontaneous and without plan, just letting the sonics direct us. This one definitely speaks to a merging of guitars and electronics, heavy on out there sounds. It's fun, different and riveting. From letting Nicolas Jaar play under Bob James to dropping into The Jazz Crusaders out of DJ Screw, plus Mizo's omnipresent love for tunes from Japan and other far out jams it's a journey of auditory exploration - so press play and in the immortal words of J Dilla "Turn It Up!"

One night while playing “Nautilus” on my radio show at KSUB a listener hit me up asking if it was some new DJ Shadow. Bob James was way ahead of his time! The much sampled and at times unfindable record in any diggin spot has lost much of it’s luster since it’s hey day being pilfered by a laundry list of classic 90s boom bap producers. It is simply titled One and it bangs. Opening with an epic, spooky jam the music here is ready for the big screen. Sounding like the perfect sequence for an amazing car chase that is choreographed perfectly, Bob James conducts an array of players to create the ultimate in explosive feelings. Bombast doesn’t even begin to capture the horns here. HUGE . Track two sounds like it might have been right at home at my co-workers country concert this weekend. No vocals are present but it’s certainly bluesy. I’m not mad at it actually. Listening to it while riding the bus (more on that in a bit) made me appriciate the slow moving beauty placed in the strings. B...
