Forgotten Treasure : Nohelani Cypriano “Lihue” (1977)
I’ve been known to let videos speak for themselves when it comes to the 80’s. (Check out this post on Midnight Express’ “Danger Zone”) Well this track is no different, when I heard it on a Hawaiian music compilation LP (Home Grown vol.2) I was blown away by the bassline …

TENDERLONIOUS – in 10 Records
Seeing as we are huge fans of 22a music, we wanted to ask Tenderlonious, one of the founding members of the collective, about some his influences and favourite records. 22a is a London-based label which specializes in vinyl only releases and despite only having 3 releases so far, they are …
Forgotten Treasure: Victor “Go On Do It” (1984)
I am sharing this one especially for our friend and MIMS collaborator Doc’trin. He’s really quite the disco aficionado and heard me play it in a club and went bananas asking about it. In fact, now that I think about it, this track was featured on the monthly MIMS Show …

MNDSGN – In 10 Records
We have been fans of MNDSGN (pronounced Mind Design) aka Ringgo Ancheta for quite some time now. Since the late 2000’s the Philly born, LA-based has been making a name for himself in the “beat scene”. But contrary to most of the movement which tends to follow formulas, he makes …
Lexis “1994 Bristol State of Mind” (Recorded on WeFunk Radio)
Whenever I’m invited to do a guest session on the great WEFUNK radio show I try to put together a selection that probably hasn’t been done before. And when you’re talking about a show that’s been going strong since 1996 it’s not easy to do something new. But as you …

Forgotten Treasure: Kevin Johnson “You Walked Out On Me” (1983)
Post by Walla P following his guest set on WEFUNK Radio Show 781 Being invited to play on the infamous WEFUNK Radio show is always an honour. I’m always looking forward to kick it with Groove & Static, and I challenge myself to play tracks that haven’t been played on previous …
DJ DAY – in 10 Records
Despite his incredible production and DJ-ing skills, California’s DJ DAY is in our opinion still under rated. He’s the type that fits the expression “your favorite DJ’s favorite DJ”. In 2014 artists and labels often resort to gimicks and shouting louder than the next guy. Not DAY. The man is just too busy …
