NICKODEMUS RADIO MIX(NOV. 23/09)





Nickodemus is definitely one of the raddest producers in recent years for me. I'm always curious to see what he's doin' next and his tracks have always been a staple in my record bag for years. I always liked how he fused various ethnic music genres together to rock the dance floor.

He's worked with some major heavyweights such as Quantic, Jay Rodriguez, Zeb as well as Nappy G. Aside from his own production, he's done remix duties for the likes of Nina Simone, Billy Holiday, Thievery Corporation and label mates Pimps of Joytime.

Not only does Nickodemus make dope music but he throws amazing parties as well. His "Turntables On The Hudson" parties are probably the longest running jam in NYC and if you've ever been to one I'm sure you get what I'm talking about. His DJ sets, like his production, are influenced from all angles of the planet. Expect to hear everything from raw funk, hip-hop, dub, samba, latin, afro, callipso or even middle eastern traditional music.

Here's his newest mix which he did for Eclechtech Radio. Listen HERE

RUBIX // BAISER SUR LA DISCO



Lately i've really been feeling that filtered disco house sound that has been filling dancefloors across the globe in recent months. I think 2009 has been a great year for electronic music in general but in my opinion, there are more appealing house jams that have dropped in 2009 alone than in countless years past. This track reminds me a bit of the jams DuckSauce (aka: Armand Van Helden and DJ A-Trak)have been dropping and although Dutch producer Rubix doesn't have quite the discography as these two heavyweights this jam is still a dancefloor killer!!!

THE LEGENDARY LARRY LEVAN



I got a fever...and the only prescription...is more DISCO. More and more these days I find myself digging for those old disco/electro boogie jams that I just can't get enough of. After spending hours trying to track down some of these gems i'm no longer surprised at how often i see the words "Larry Levan Edit". So many classic tunes come to mind when I hear the name Larry Levan, and I can thank the homie DJ Hubbz for putting me onto him with his routine using the Larry Levan edit of "Walking into Sunshine" by Central Line.

Here are a couple of tunes from the man himself to get you through the week, and if your looking for more info on this legendary disco bad-ass you can find his biography HERE

SANGRIA // TO THE BEAT YA'LL



As were nearing the end of the 2009 calender year, I can look back and honestly say that this year has been great for new music. There have been so many huge tunes that have dropped this year and it has brought new life to some of the genres i've paid little attention to over the past couple years. With that being said, every once in a while i'll come across an older jam that instantly becomes the hottest shit in my crates.

Huge thanks to the homies over at Dollar Bin Jams for putting me on to this record. If you haven't checked out their page before it's highly recomended, I give it 2 woos' way up.
