It’s that awesome time of year again when we get to celebrate ancient pagan rituals under the guise of remembering Christian saints, and for most people this translates as just an excuse to expose their inner freak publicly under the protection of masquerade. It’s always been one of my favorite holidays, partly for the shared creativity of coming up with costumes, and partly because I get to play “Thriller” again. Really excited about going up to Nevada City this Friday for a massive bash with my brother-in-beats DJ Nadi, anyone in Nor-Cal looking to rage should meet us there. Then I’ll be back in LA on Sat for my regular grimey get down at The Virgil. I don’t know if I’ll be looking as badass as the homie pictured above, but I hope someone on the dancefloor is! The pic is taken from this great collection “Wilder Mann” by Charles Freger, check it out.

P.S. – not sure why I lost the playlist function, I’m going to try to get that fixed for the next post.

Happy Tuesday everybody! I’ve been wanting a way to mix this song into my sets, so I had to cook up a remix, and since I don’t like being stingy, I figured I’d let it fly out into the world. Grab the download while it lasts (fingers crossed the soundcloud overlords take pity on me and don’t ban my account). Vibey, tropical, chill moombah-house type of thing. I’m hoping you agree it’s danceable.

So many good records coming out right now, yet still I’m digging up more things from the forgotten past that I feel obliged to share as well. The new Solange record has been my number one on repeat lately, if you haven’t given it a proper listen yet, remedy that quick! Maybe it was being so grateful at hearing her keep the funk alive that made me want to return to some old dusty joints today- from here and abroad. So I’m tipping you off to one other new release by Pegasus Warning, but then taking you into some oldies, including joints from Brazil, Turkey and South Korea (that are mostly new to me). Artwork today comes from the very dope Katherine Bernhardt. Hope you dig!
