Woops… been a while! Back doing what i love best with a monster funk session, a frenzied crate digging of funk compilations sinks its teeth into this, the ping pong session. Soulful, gritty, soundtrackish funk keeps it funking for over 2 hours! Enjoy! Peace! Great music to play ping pong too…

Legendary Jazz DJ Paul Murphy graces the jazzcasts with this excellent groove session from Budapest! An introduction by the man himself:
“Back in the night in the day I used to play a lot of what were then seen as straight ahead Jazz records. Before the heady 1990’s days of Acid Jazz, before the Jazz Not Jazz trips, and well before the Nu Jazz times too. I usually played in dive bars below seedy hotels, old Victorian pubs still full of Withnail and I types, South American restaurants full of extras from Scarface and ex-strip bars. All very downbeat and sordid. And, amazingly, people used to come down to these places and dance their asses off. Heady times! What goes around, comes around, happily and now on my travels I’m playing these old sounds again. And people are still digging them.” Wish i was in Budapest right now… Enjoy!

Africa… the source of all life, the rhythm roots of all music, specially the music we all know and love on jazzdj.co.uk :) i just managed to cut this down to 90 minutes, the brief was simple, any music with Africa related title, album or artist. We def need another session… this one is in the feed only. Enjoy!!! Peace, Happiness and Love for Easter xXx

So here is the reggae session i promised an age ago… the perfect soundtrack to any summer sunshine, chillaxing with the peeps! I love reggae and remember fondly all the dances that i used to frequent, including Jah Shaka at the Rocket in London town… and all the smaller parties (some behind some butchers in Brixton town) and the regular sessions at peeps homes. Am most thankful over the years for all the mixtapes that some of the real reggae heads would splice together for me… In this session we have some seventies reggae and dub sounds in part one followed by some reggae and ska sounds in part two, timed to perfectly fit on an audio cassette old skool stylee, or your iPhone… Enjoy!
