THIS WEEK! July 17, 2008
ROOTDOWN INVADES AFRO FUNKE'
featuringguest deejay:

MUSIC MAN MILES
He used to be 'This Kid Named Miles', but now he is simply known as 'Music Man Miles' -- "a mellow kinda fella trying to find a good melody to go with the groove." You have probably heard of his weekly parties in LA: Rootdown or Funky Sole (every Saturday at Star Shoes with Egon from Stones Throw), or maybe you know him as the bass player/producer for Breakestra, either way - with record in hand, or strapped with his bass, Miles will make you get up and dance.

J-BOOGIE
celebrating the release of "OM: HIP HOP SESSIONS"“Om Hip Hop Soul Sessions” is a return to basics with everyone’s favorite hip-hop soul DJ / producer J-Boogie. This Japan-only album is also available worldwide as a digital release both in separated tracksand as a mixed version. Featured on the iTunes “Hot Stuff” front page, the album has already reached the top 20 electronic album downloads!

It’s the next step in J-Boogie’s classic mix series that includes Leftism, Live in the Bedroom and In The Mood. The sound represents the SF Bay Area with some of his favorite Om beats from the past, present, and future. Down tempo, hip-hop, soul, breaks, house, Latin, electro and dub take you back to a Summer BBQ in the park or a long roadtrip down the coast. Lovers of the classic Deep Concentration series, Mushroom Jazz, Om Lounge and Om Hip-Hop will enjoy this mix that proves musical boundaries are for trends and tempos only.
