Music Is My Sanctuary – 50 tracks for 2010
Ok, so I totally wussed out of making this list into a podcast. Reason #1: I’ve been playing some of these tracks so much in DJ gigs and one year worth of podcasts that I wasn’t super motivated to play them yet another time. Reason #2: Picking the list was …

Forgotten Treasure: Beatconductor “Sumthin Betta” (2006)
Since New Years Eve is right around the corner, I thought I’d share one of my favorite late night classics. This is one of the jams that you put on right before closing time when everything is just going right! It’s on that epic “we are the world” type shit. …
Future Classic: Altered Natives “Danny Does Acid EP”
Talk about a holiday treat. Mr. Altered Natives, definitely one of the producers that killed us in 2010 is hitting us up with a free EP working on his Acid influences. Acid House that is… I was having a chat with him about some his influences (read the post here) …
James Brown wishes you Merry Christmas
I had this little thought for James Brown today because he died on a December 25th in 2006. He was on tour and I had tickets to go see his show with my dad 4 days after. It was not to be. One more legend I never had the chance …
Forgotten Treasure: Black Uhuru “Youth of Eglington” (1981)
This is one of my favorite Black Uhuru tracks. They are a legendary Jamaican group whose members changed over the years but have always been backed by Sly & Robie on production. At the time this record was being made, Brixton was ablaze with riots, and this song is like …
Future Classic: Dj Premier + KRS-1 & Grand Puba “5%”
For real hip-hop heads, these kind of moments are few and far between. This is a Dj Premier produced track for KRS-One’s upcoming 2011 record called “Return of the Boom Bip”. Never been the hugest KRS guy but I can’t front on this track. Dope!
Future Classic: DAMU the Fudgemunk “More Supplies”
Been really digging DAMU these past few months. I’ve played a few of his tracks in previous podcast but I think this EP is definitely the first one that I need to buy on vinyl. “More Supplies” is a really strong 5 track EP on clear vinyl. We definitely need …

MURS “H-u-s-t-l-e” (2004)
My good peeps at Potholes in my blog just posted a new MURS video which is a cover of Common‘s “I Used to love her” (check it here) and we were both agreeing that MURS and 9th Wonder’s better days are sadly behind them. Well, I figured i’d post one …
ALTERED NATIVES presents “My Most Influencial Tracks”
2010 was a massive year for Danny Yorke aka ALTERED NATIVES. His two full lenght projects “Serial Vendetta” and “Tenement Yard” were pretty much game changers when it comes to dancefloor stuff. He brought back that warehouse rawness to UK Funky, Broken Beat and whatever he chose to touch. I’m …
80 Blocks from Tiffany’s
The history of cinema includes countless films that have remained, for a variety of reasons, in total obscurity. Sadly, many of the films that get ‘lost’ are the ones that really need to be found, and 80 Blocks from Tiffany’s is one such film. Here is a film that has …
