The Musik Lounge

Another solo go round for y’all. I’m out of town but had to lay one down in the lounge before hitting the road! Mizo will be back soon so just hold tight as I hit ya with a decidedly more linear mix of grooves pretty much rooted in exactly what I tend to dig - styles connected to what hiphop producers have been sampling since the inception of the art form. Even still plenty of our trade mark samba inspired blends and enough change ups to keep you guessing for the duration. I can’t believe next week will be number 40, thank you all for riding with us!

It’s hot out here! I live in the Pacific Northwest for a reason and that’s because I like it cool and I like it grey. But I’m sure you can’t escape the complaints from us all sweltering out here on the West coast so enough is enough. Mizo couldn’t make it through the lounge yesterday so I held it down on the solo tip. A true grab bag from my crates is what is in store for ya today! When I say grab bag I mean I literally randomly pulled records and dropped the needle wherever I felt so inclined in the moment. As it shook out their was a fair bit of rap, some jazz, some beats and all the things in between. If you have AC, turn it up for me and press play, not sure this will help you cool off but it will keep your head nodding! Tuxedomoon “Jinx” Ketty Lester “Love Locked Out” Tha Eastsidaz ft. Jayo Felony & Blaqthoven “Got Beef” The Jackson 5 “The Day Basketball Was Saved” Earl Zero “Heart’s Desire” Music Makers Band “That True Love Of Mine” Fat Joe ft. Nas, Big Pun, Jadakiss & Ra...

A day late and too many dollars short to count - that's the cost when you are sick I suppose. While I didn't take full advantage or my time laid up to dig through the hard drive I still found some gems to bless y'all with this week! As always, thanks for riding with us and drop me a line if you would like to hear something in the mix.
