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. […]

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 […]

ZIP:  Matt Shea’s “Disassociated Summer Jam” The thought of summer in Brisbane is better than the actual season you’re backhanded come October or November. The first few weeks are fantastic: you bust out the shorts and barbeques, sipping beers and vodka tonics. But by February-March, the whole thing gets a little tiresome. Wetting your underpants […]

Reader Michael Kim asked me earlier today if I still had the files to the Summer Smoke mix that I made for Soul Sides last year.  Turns out that I do — along with the remains of the Romanov children, a T206 Honus Wagner baseball card, and the never-before-seen too-hot-for-TV episode of Frasier where Niles […]

This mix is inspired by all the nights I’ve spent of late sweating on the balcony of my downtown Edmonton apartment. The heatwave that’s struck the city, coupled with all the intermittent thunderstorms has created some damn hot and humid evenings this summer. It hasn’t quite reached Do the Right Thing levels of sultriness, but […]

Sach is currently somewhere in Europe. His exacts whereabouts are unknown, but rumors put him somewhere near the Rhine River, heavily bearded and cavorting with a trio of attractive Latvian women. He only left behind this mix and a desire to be buried with the funk. No one is quite sure what that means, but […]

Barry Schwartz finds your anti-blunt rhetoric despicable.  I’m going to give this year’s Mr. Softee a stern talking to. He decided not to get the thing that makes Mr. Softee milkshakes the bomb and opted instead for a bullshit blender I could get at fucking Fortunoff. He’s cutting corners. That’s unacceptable. I should be drinking […]

Jeff Weiss is nowhere to be found. He is believed to be spending the rest of the summer following Moe cross-country and playing semi-professional hacky sack.   Download: Jeff Weiss’ “Topanga Daze” Six summers ago,  I smoked myself stupid and serene, supine in a rented Swiss Family tree house in Topanga. Wind chimes and crystals. […]

We call this one “Let Me Put My Rhythm In You,” and we mean it. Really. Let us do that. Download: Let Me Put My Rhythm in You Andrew’s words: During my last week helping a local civic group clean up the Gulf coast after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, I decided to use my […]

  Rumors have circulated that Crambe Repitita is the alter-ego of Todd Burns, editor-in-chief of Resident Advisor. However, neither has been spotted wearing dungarees at the same time.  Download: Crambe Repitita – “Pants Mix” Summertime, schummertime. It’s always a good time for house music. And it’s always a good time for pants, hence the title […]
