Spring time finally hit Oakland last week and for some reason my response was to stay indoors and mix two hours of breezy warm weather sounds. The tracks are mostly late seventies/early eighties disco and soul records but I took some weird turns somewhere in there. There are also two new releases I really like from Trusme and U-Tern.

The mixing is kind of casual. I let a lot of records play long, which meant I had the time to make a sandwich, go to the fridge for a few beers, eat a sandwich, etc. while recording. This enhanced my relaxation and contentment while making the show. I hope the mix does the same for you.

A non-stop mix of dance music that kicks off with 1980s-era disco before flowing into some house and other stuff. There are some old favorites, some new ones and some random nonsense, but I think it flows well. The mix was recorded live at All Day Play's studios but I went back later and edited out the back-announcing.

DOWNLOAD: 2 Busy Saying Yeah: Why You Gotta Keep Bringing Up Old Hits?: 2009 Reissues

In this episode I play and talk about some of my favorite songs that got reissued in 2009. The bulk of it is soul and funk, although there's also disco, psych, gospel, rap and weird foreign hybrids of many of the aforementioned styles.

Most of the selections are from releases that are legitimately licensed and carefully assembled, with proper mastering, handsome packaging and thoughtful annotations. I have a lot of respect for those who take the time and effort to do it right. I hope you support them so that they can continue the work that they do.
