Back to the old school and done the old school way (All vinyl, two turntables and a mixer). This mix showcases a different aspect of the sounds I like - soul and a bit of disco funk. It's more about the journey and selection here; not claiming to break the ultra rare and elusive, although you certainly won't find a couple of these easily and/or without paying good money for it. :)
The mix is roughly the set I played for the Beat Swap Meet in Los Angeles on September 15, 2013; roughly because I recorded this after and not when I played and because I can't be certain that the tracks in this particular set are identical to the Beat Swap Meet set.
The track listing is as follows:
Atmosfear "Xtra Special" (Dry mix) [Elite Records Ltd., 1982]
The Cool Notes "Spend the Night" [Abstract Records, 1985]
Patrice Rushen "Feels So Real (Won't Let Go)" [Elektra, 1984]
Gladys Knight & the Pips "Save the Overtime (For Me)" [Columbia, 1983]
Whodini "Five Minutes of Funk" [Jive, 1984]
I Level "Give Me" [Epic/Virgin, 1982]
Gwen Guthrie "Should've Been You" [Island Records, 1982]
Project Future "Ray-Gun-Omics" [Capitol Records, 1983]
Love Unlimited Orchestra (presents Charles Webster) "Welcome Aboard" [Unlimited Gold Records, 1981]
Charles Earland "Intergalactic Love Song" [Mercury, 1976]
Bloodfire VIII "Bloodfire vs. Creative Source" [Bloodfire, 2011]
GQ "Someday" [Arista, 1980]
Enjoy!
