| Summer Jamz 2012: Duke Bloggin Meets the Congos in Midtown | August 31, 2012 |
We have Alex Piveyski and Jah to thank for this. Download: ZIP: V/A – Duke Bloggin Meets the Congos in Midtown (Left-Click) I have a confession to make: this compilation is actually a failed album review. Icon Give Thank, a collaboration between venerable reggae legends The Congos and mad experimentalists Sun Araw and M. Geddes […]
| Summer Jamz, 2012: Jeff Siegel | July 9, 2012 |
Like we always do about this time. Let me tell you what being shackled to the computer during the hottest months of the year without air-conditioning is like. I’m surrounded by all the fans I can find. It is not enough. I’m as naked as possible for as long as possible, but again. There are […]
| Summer Jamz, 2011: Do You Feel Like We Do by Sleepyhead | October 18, 2011 |
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 […]
| Summer Jamz 2011: Matt Shea – “Steamy Nights” | September 7, 2011 |
Matt Shea is over 30 and single. His relationship advice should not be trusted. Download: Matt Shea – Summer Jamz 2011: Steamy Nights It’s coming towards the end of summer and that means one thing: time to quit flaking and step your love game up. Winter hibernation under your Surfing With the Alien duvet ain’t […]
| Summer Jamz 2011: Jeff Siegel and Ian Mathers: Galapagos | August 22, 2011 |
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 […]

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 […]
| Summer Jamz: Abe Beame’s “Scenes From a BBQ” | July 14, 2011 |
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 […]
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 […]
| Summer Jamz 2011: Floodwatch’s “Twinlights Dub” Mix | June 15, 2011 |
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, […]
