Well, last week it was BLOG VOLTRON on the roof of The Standard DTLA. (those links are to pictures) There was much fun to be had, and met some really cool people. I also played a really shitty set consisting of really good music.
Anyway, I’ve been listening to a lot of funk and today’s funk was provided by Nytro.

I can’t wait for DJ Mehdi’s new EP, Pocket Piano/Tunisia Bambaata to come out.
You can’t wait either.

You can hear another cut from this EP in a post I did not too long ago here.
…and I still can’t get over this stuff. Probably won’t. ever. Discorockets out of SF/Portugal are burning shit up. on the real. Check them out ASAP. (it’s hard to botch this song either way) If you need more proof check the Discorockets myspace page.

DFA = Disco’s Fucking Awesome
September 15, 2008 | Filed Under day to day | 3 Comments
Laid back disco is what I’ve been feeling lately. One larger label who probably reps disco the hardest these days is DFA.
I’ve been following a seasonal mixtape series that DFA’s been putting out since ‘05 and they’ve never failed to satisfy.
This one’s Spring 2008, mixed by Justin Miller (for those of you who are wondering, please do not mistake with another j. miller douchebag) and Jacques Renault -the latter of which who brings funk to the EXTREME. (more on him in a sec).
Sit back, lay back: DFA RADIO MIX SPRING 2008 (right click, save as)
Onto Jacques Renault –FUNK OUT OF CONTROL!! I can’t quantitate the level of funk in this track, but it makes me want to do gangster shit. I’d never heard of Jacques before this track, so has anyone got the dirty on this fool? Is this track a fluke? is he legit?

Buffet Libre saved my life
June 9, 2008 | Filed Under music, photography | 9 Comments
I have more than 1 reason to be thankful for these guys right now. Pizza, double cheeseburgers, spaghetti, delicious… all you can eat in Buffet Libre.
1.
For the past year or so, these guys from Spain have been putting out some of the most tasteful mixtapes I’ve laid ears on (aka the Verbena series). It’s less of the ‘computer mixing trickery’ and more of just straight pure awesome track selection. The mixing is smooth, to the point, and seamless. No tacky trickery here to make up for the mindless process of building your tracklist around what ‘the blogs you follow on hypem‘ post weekly.
2.
Today after my hellish first block of finals, I was looking for some relief and Marc from Buffet Libre was chillin in my mailbox to the rescue. I may not have ever mentioned here, but for the past months, a song has been haunting my memory. Ever since the day I tried to remember the title of it to play at a party. It would NOT come to me. From then on, a day hasn’t passed without me hearing the intro/vocals/rhythm of that mystery song.
That went on for about 3 months………and finally ended today. All thanks to…

I can’t believe I forgot the artist/title of this track. It’s even 4 starred in my library. I’ve even blogged about The Shoes before. Hmm funny, that was right around finals time as well. anyways. time to study more.
