Our Synths Weigh a Ton: Inside Stones Throw Studios



Yes, geeking-out on the equipment is the selling point of this video.  However, the real news for me was the mention of a NXWorries remix album in the works.

Delroy Edwards Interview & Home Studio



If you've listened to my latest mix, you know it was heavily influenced by Delroy Edwards' music.  Here's a relatively rare interview with wonderful camera angles where you can see his home set-up.  Side note: I've never heard L.A. described as "sleazy" before, but it's the absolute perfect word to describe Los Angeles (and I don't mean that in an entirely negative way).

Ahmad Jamal 'The Awakening Mix' - Mixed By Chris Read



Highly Recommended mix of cuts from Ahmad Jamal's The Awakening, seamlessly blended with hip hop songs that sampled from this classic LP.

Micro-Chop: STLNDRMS


Excellent read that should inspire all deejays/producers/artists with a "day job."
Another benefit of regular posting is it helps maintain consistency, a crucial element to the STLNDRMS’ creative process. Balancing music with an engineering day job, daily beatmaking involves an hour or two of practice on weekdays with the potential for more on weekends. “I call it push ups. I make sure I get some in everyday. Trying to keep the muscles good,” he says.
And just as much as daily reps and consistency are important aspects of his own career, he also wants to model those good habits for his sons. “I got two boys at the house. I’m trying to be a living lesson for those guys and fully illustrate that you can do whatever you feel like doing as long as you’re consistent day to day,” he says.

Pullin from the Stacks 64 (K. Riggins Dedication) - DJ Ian Head



Headnod Suite is an album you should buy.

One of my all-time favorite DJ mixes is Karriem Riggins "Music Kaleidoscope." It put me onto several great records, and also made me go back through my own collection to re-examine things overlooked. This episode I thought it would be fun to play several (not all) selections in full that Riggins used on his epic mix. Salute to Riggins and to great music!
