blindfold music 026 . jdisco

this installment comes to you from jdisco, the man responsible for bringing you top shelf recordings, and he’s got some gems that we all should be grateful for. jdisco has played disco and house cuts among the heavy hitters in los angeles for quite some time now. i first met him upon arriving in los angeles when he was stocking the bins for the boys over at wax records. needless to say, he got some first hand schooling on some classics and he’s here to share his knowledge years later as a local vet.

blindfold music 025

so, i finally found the trus’me wax i’ve been looking around for. the title of the album is working nights, and i haven’t been this excited about a house LP in quite some time. it came out last year, so i’ve searched many bins for this one. coming from fat city records in manchester, trus’me brings a kenny dixon jr. sound of detroit into a new swing of modern house…sick music as far as i am concerned, so have a listen to a couple selections on the latest blindfold session.

blindfold music 024

so, i ran into mark rae, from rae & christian fame at a wicked party in venice, however he declined to lay down a set for us here at blindfold. who can blame him? he’s off and running with promotion for his new album and collaboration with rhys adams, known as yes king. i believe the album is due to drop march 25 worldwide with an early release on itunes and emusic February 26. that’s tomorrow!! we are fortunate to provide a slight preview of this fusion of hip hop, dancehall, ragga and ska into their own unique brand…

back in session

what’s up people?

so, i’m back…i know, you’re wondering why you didn’t get a podcast on tuesday, right? well, i’ve spent a week in the mountains and needless to say, i left my laptop in venice. i didn’t even have cell reception for days. that’s quite a relief, you should try it.

what’s in store now? well, chester has taken his time to select some of the finest jazz/funk selections for two installments of his classic funk excursions. if you’re not aware of chester, you should know he’s spent years digging through the archives at blue note as well as many years behind the counter as a vendor of fine wax.

keep posted, and i’ll have it up shortly…thanks
