click to enlargeOur very own Vivrant Thang pulled me out of "retirement" because she's a jet-setter and needs riding music. So I thought, what better way to test out our little podcast feed than with a mix? (If it doesn't work, let us know.) This is the first in a series called "Blended & Beat", because dope music is a good "look." Get it? If not, then there's nothing I can do for you. At any rate, enjoy the blend, which includes dance tracks from across the decades. Your eyes aren't fooling you, that is Sting, Prince and Stevie in the cover. I was also able to sneak in some De La Soul and Kelis, as well as House faves like Kenny Dope, who along with Louie Vega comprises Masters-At-Work and Nuyorican Soul. Props to Stylus for the inspiration. DISCLAIMER: This mix is for those that love to dance. You might elbow someone in the eye. Tracklisting after the bounce.

definitely impressed with the selection on this one, particularly the inclusion of The Police, the posse cut from De La's "Saturdays" 12", and the Prince/Andre Cymone cuts. this mix along with all the screaming over Common and Busta's forthcoming dancier material definitely makes the Soulbounce stance clear: yay house, boo techno. got it. duly noted.

(i mean honestly, you'd think techno was the harmonic equivalent of AIDS on this site or something, the way everyone carried on...i'm just saying...)

anyhow, looking forward to volume 2.

I just finished listening to the mix, while shakin' my booty to the tunes. "Love & Happiness" is one of my favorite house tracks. A lil' bit of everything was all up in there. WICKED mix y'all. :)

So honored to be the part of the inspiration for this work of art. Some of these artists I'm not even familiar with so you know I can't wait to press play and ride out!
