TROPICAL DISCOTHEQUE MIX

The crew here at THINKTWICEPRODUCTIONS have been pushing the tropical vibes a lot in perth at the moment. Every sunday at defectors bar "upstairs at the flying scotsman" and a monthly sunday at fremantle arts centre. So I have put this mixtape together of some of the flavours we will be spinning at these party's.

Handsome Paddy - Back to the boom bap

 


90's hip hop mix tapes are a dime a dozen these days all using the same old cliched jams. However handsome paddy comes through with some heavy underground 90's boom bap selections on this.

PERSONAL SPACE

                                     PERSONAL SPACE -  ELECTRONIC SOUL 1974-1984


This is seriously one of the best compilations I have ever, ever come across. Soul comps are a dime a dozen these days. Usually with all the same mayfield, o'jays e.t.c tracks showing no research or originality. Then there is those comps that are just perfect. Perfect track selection, perfect packaging, perfectly written liner notes.

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE COMPS.

The theme is to showcase some of the first ever recorded examples of drum machines and synths used in soul music. Usually recorded at the home on 8tracks I guess this is a compilation of some of the first bedroom producers. A unique sound of soul, jazz and blues with strong syncopated drum machine lines and synth pads and lead lines. Amazing music. Put out by chicago based "chocolate industries"this is definitely one to cop. my fav jam on the comp is probably "Key and Clearly", "A MAN" Peep below.



Key & Clearly  -  A Man

Menahan Street Band "The Crossing"

Menahan street band come drop their incredible new single "The Crossing". A deep raw funk/soul instrumental with awesome drums, the signature daptone horns and some harp goodness almost reminiscent of "Dorothy Ashby". If this tune is anything to go by the new album could even surpass the debut "Make the road By walking" if thats even possible. to stream click link below.

SCRATCH BASTID - SOUL SISTERS STAND UP

                                                SCRATCH BASTID - SOUL SISTERS STAND UP

Canadian dj Scratch Bastid drops his latest mixtape soul sisters on us, an all sister soul and funk double mix. i had the pleasure of booking scratch for my club night early this year and he was hands down one of the best party rockers I'd ever seen. details and links below.


Dear fellow music junkie,

This is the Skratch Bastid writing to you on behalf of The Gaff and myself from my melted igloo in Toronto, Canada. Today, July 17th, we are releasing a mix that we've been working on for quite some time (read: forever) and I would love for you to have a listen to it. Prime summertime extended listening action here.

Soul Sisters, Stand Up! is an 80-minute mix filled with 100% Female Funk/Soul/R&B/Breaks. 2 DJs. 2 years in the making.  Featuring the sounds of soulful ladies from the mid-60s & mid-70s – a snapshot of love, pain, happiness, oppression, strength, struggle and more from an era where records were the primary outlet for these voices. These messages are driven home by the beats and grooves from what is undeniably the funkiest decade in music history. From Freda, Aretha, Nina & Diana to Betty Everett, Lavette & Davis, we take you on a journey to a mindset, using tunes both classic and criminally overlooked to tell the story. Mixed together in classic mixtape fashion... you know, with mixing.
