Start the show as a tribute to DJ Mehdi, we miss you man....
DJ Shadow is back with a new album and this song features Yukimi from Little Dragon; a couple classics by Marvin Gaye and Al Green, into a sick remix by Tall Black Guy and a fresh new tune by Onra... going uptempo with Ben Westbeech, Brandt Brauer Frick and a tune from my partner in crime Simbad. Fresh new talent sounding old, its Nick Waterhouse, very impressive. Houseshoes just sent me a bunch of beats last week, and fresh new hiphop by Nemo Achida and M.E.D. Quadron's Robin Hannibal has a new ep called BOBBY, and it sounds very nice. Great steel drums track from Amral's Trinidad Soldiers, right into some dubstep from The Two Fifteens and Belgium's Ducap from Uphigh Collective. Ayanna's beautiful voice and end up with a classic banger from Incognito.
In hour 2, my homeboy Anthony Valadez takes over, he has a regular show on KCRW radio in Los Angeles, and is a very active deejay in the city. Check him out...
