Summer Jamz, 2011: Do You Feel Like We Do by Sleepyhead

One more because not all hemispheres are built the same. Perth is a strange place. It’s a sprawling stretch of suburbia caught between the Indian Ocean and a dry-as-fuck interior — thousands of kilometers from the next major Australian city. It’s constantly derided for being boring as shit (and quite often is), but artists like… Continue reading »

Summer Jamz 2011: Jeff Siegel and Ian Mathers: Galapagos

Jeff Siegel creates clandestinely at the Private Sector. While Ian Mathers is immune to nearly any weapon. Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?4n0o5nw8ulv8z3m Making this mix took longer than we thought it would, but that’s fitting; it’s summer, and everything takes longer in the summer. Either it’s hot and humid and you don’t want to move, or it’s beautiful… Continue reading »

Passion of the Weiss Mix Series: Danny Swain’s “Hour of Power”

Download: Passion of the Weiss Mix Series – Danny Swain’s “Hour of Power” The rap game forces patience. Barring the occasional Odd Future fluke, ascent is usually a war of attrition. The Curren$y and Atmosphere model is more common. Slow persistent build, one underground show and mixtape at a time until you force your way… Continue reading »

Summer Jamz: Abe Beame’s “Scenes From a BBQ”

Download: Abe Beame’s “Scenes From a BBQ” Here’s my go-to recipe for a grill out. I don’t apologize for ripping this directly from the Babbo cookbook, without alteration in the slightest — you don’t fuck with perfection. Start with a pair of pork chops in a brine: composed of 4 quarts of water, one cup… Continue reading »

Summer Jamz: Blanca Mendez and Andrea Hart’s “Dirrty Dancing”

Download:  http://www.mediafire.com/?shb8nqlbiq497z8 Bio: When Blanca Méndez and Andrea Hart get on the dance floor together, it’s frightening for everybody. They are less scary when they host Fonocast for Club Fonograma. We don’t live in the kind of place where summer involves sipping tropical fruit juice in the shade of a palm tree overlooking a quiet… Continue reading »

Summer Jamz 2011: Floodwatch’s “Twinlights Dub” Mix

SOME FUN FACTS ABOUT FLOODWATCH’S TWINLIGHTS DUB I don’t normally assemble and sequence 80-minute mixes but Twinlights Dub was originally meant to be split into two halves of a 90-minute Maxell for my car, so I actually had to trim and truncate it a bit to get it down to somewhat manageable, if still bloated,… Continue reading »

Summer Jamz – Son Raw Live @ Bassdrive

Son Raw is Sach O for those who don’t know. Summer Jamz is an ever-changing experience for me. When I dropped my first mix in the series way back in 2008, I was traveling the South-Asian seas and decided to send something in a whim because I hadn’t done any music writing in 6 months.… Continue reading »

Summer Jamz #14: Andrew Necci’s Last Jam of the Summer

Andrew Necci is based in Richmond, VA. He blogs at http://andrewtsks.tumblr.com/, and is the music editor at http://rvamag.com/. I’ve lived in Virginia all my life, and while I doubt many non-natives think of my home state as a particularly warm place, I can tell you that summer lasts longer here than any other season. Weeklong heat waves… Continue reading »
