Thievery Corporation

Thievery Corporation by On The 1 on Mixcloud

This is a mix of Thievery Corporation tracks because they are one of my favourite acts because of their international flavour. The music is interspersed with interview snippets to give you a little picture of the guys behind the music. 

Thievery Corporation hail from Washington, D.C and consist of Rob Garza and Eric Hilton and a broad range of contributing artists. They are known for the eclectic range of styles and languages they incorporate, dub, reggae, acid jazz, bossa nova, Indian classical, Middle Eastern and Brazilian all feature. As does English, Portugese, Hindi and French. So if you'd like to know more about them have a listen.

Funkshine

Funkshine by On The 1 on Mixcloud

Back with a slab of funk for you to get down on the one in the sun! A whole lot of deep funk from some masters Tower of Power and The Nite Liters. A bit of swing from Buddy Rich, electrofunk from Cro Magnon, Ozone and Teena Marie and plenty bass and drums workouts too. 

Get up, get down and get on it!

Listen | Flying Lotus - Lovers Melt 3

Flying Lotus has once again given us a lovers mix for the summer, the third of his Lovers Melt mixes. He says:
“Another mix for your summer
some things you know
some things you may not
love”


Download here: http://t.co/N6jx0Muy


To be honest the first Lovers Melt I don't think is that great. Mostly because a lot of the tracks are well known to me and I listen to regularly. Most though its a bit rambling and doesn't really have a flow which is a major problem if your going for the lover thing. The second one is a bit better but I wasn't too fussed with that either because, again it was a bit rambling. To be honest if he wasn't Flylo these mixes wouldn't get any coverage, but hey that's how it goes. In terms of summer mixes, Jazzy Jeff's summertime mix series is top of the pile for me. Enjoy.

Zentrip 12 by On The 1 on Mixcloud

Number twelve, this is one has dreamy mood. It starts off cosmic and then is a bit different to the usual with a fair helping of synthpop/blade runneresque sounds. It then goes all jazz/swing, I hope you drift away and make sure to check the Roswell Rudd number, fantastic stuff. This mix is indebted to the inventively written and musically insightful 20jazzfunkgreats blog.

Watch | Grimes Live

Grimes has been on my radar for a while, I listened to Halfaxa a while ago and quite liked the sound. I like the washed out, layered sound with her beautifully delicate and abstract vocals. It has a melancholic depth to it I appreciate . Weird thing is I came across this half hour video of her playing live in a studio for the Vancouver radio station KEXP and it sounded new to me - love it when that happens. 

Watch How To Dress Well Perform With New Live Band

Potholes In My Blog » Watch How To Dress Well Perform With New Live Band

Thanks to the excellent Potholes In My Blog site (linked above) here's a video of How To Dress Well playing a song off his forthcoming new album with a live band in Vancouver.






Incidentally, have you heard the one time only orchestral EP Tom Krell released on this day last year? It comprise orchestral versions of the three Suicide Dream tracks and Decisions off his first album. Its beautiful stuff made in memory of his best friend who died in August 2010. Its available on 10" and digitally. $1 dollar of every 10" sold will go to a mental health charity.

You drift into consciousness, the sensation of motion – you’re on a journey. It’s vast, unknown and wondrous. You’ll experience vast beautiful soundscapes of many colours, feelings and sensations, at once soothing, epic and inspiring. Afterwards things might just be a little clearer - at the very least you will have been there and had the experience.
