All 45s Mix on Eaves Drop Radio (2/27/15) - Cosmo Baker
Cosmo Baker Presents Genius: The Sound Of Raphael Saadiq
I've tried to think of an artist of my generation more under appreciated than Raphael Saadiq. He certainly gets love, but nowhere near the love an artist responsible for such timeless music deserves.
I'm originally from Philly, and so you should probably understand my inherent connection to soul music because of my rearing in this great city. Soul music, in its many forms, is what it always comes back to. And when you think of people of our generation that embody "soul music" one shouldn't look any further than the one and only Raphael Saadiq. A product of another great soul city of this nation, Oakland CA, Ray Ray is the quintessential R&B artist of the 90s and beyond in my opinion. In 2008 when "The Way I See It" was released I was enlisted by the label to do this official mixtape of Raphael's work, including rarities, remixes, productions and appearances... Erykah Badu, Common, Earth Wind & Fire, Joss Stone, Lauryn Hill, Devin The Dude, Kelis, J Dilla, Deedra Moses, The Roots, A Tribe Called Quest, DJ Quik, Nappy Roots, 2Pac, Amp Fiddler, Mashonda, Total, Snoop Dogg ,Q-Tip, Total, D'Angelo, Freeway, and lest we forget... Tony! Toni! Toné! & Lucy Pearl. What do they all have in common? They've all worked with the great Raphael Saadiq. So in honor of his birthday I'm proud to share with you Cosmo Baker Presents Genius: The Sound Of Raphael Saadiq. I hope you enjoy it!

Cosmo Baker Live at Do-Over
Props to pipomixes' supporter Cosmo Baker for a dope set amidst severe distractions directly in-front of his tables. Tough question for all of you to answer: Which is better, Cosmo's set or the distractions?
Cosmo Baker's Top Ten (March 2011)
Shout out to Cosmo Baker for putting out at least a mix a month for all of us mix skanks. Cosmo's description of the mix below.
Back up in this motherfucker with another one, it's the brand new Top Ten Mix for March. Again, here's a selection of records that really moved me this month, from all across the board. Now let me shout out my dude Mikey Palms who for the longest time was trying to get me to do a mix series called "Baker's Dozen." There were so many great songs that I came across this month that I decided to extend the bonus round out with 3, so we have a true Baker's Dozen with 13 songs in total. So let me rap a little about these tunes. I once told a friend that I was resolved to "say less with more" but to hell with it, I'm a verbose motherfucker so let's go...
The first song is a remix of Kanye West "Monster" featuring Nicki Minaj who, honestly is the only person I want to hear on that track. The song was adventurously re imagined by a new group Teachers that you will be hearing a lot more about very soon. Next up is the new Holy Ghost! record that sounds like they've been listening to a lot of Jan Hammer. I'm not mad at that. Third is Pools, which is the brainchild of my dear friends Thee Mike B & DJ Morse Code. Last year I spent a lot of time in LA, and a good amount of that time was spent at pools. This pretty much sounds exactly what it was like. Fourth is the new Steve Arrington produced by Dam Funk. Nuff said. After that is the brand new Beth Ditto off her self titled solo EP. This is new territory for her, and it fits like a glove in my opinion. I had to give a nod to the Moombahton movement and include my homie DJ Apt One with "Bells And Whistles" which is based around a very healthy Sergio Mendes sample.
If you know me, you know I LOVE brass band music. The seventh song on the mix is from the UK's Hackney Collier Band. They do it really right with their version of the Toto classic. Following that is a remix ofHeadman by Finland's own Hannulelauri. Such a groovy tune, I first heard it on a mix by The Magician AKA Stephen Fasano, formerly of Aeroplane. The ninth song is a little older but I just got hip to it. Simian Mobile Disco as envisioned by one of my favorites, Maurice Fulton. Rounding out the ten is one of my favorite songs right now, Adele "Rolling In The Deep" - with a dancefloor workout by Brooklyn's own Cousin Cole.
The Baker's Dozen bonus starts with a unique take on the Sex Pistols "Pretty Vacant"by Drop Out Orchestra, propelling this punk anthem into a groovy downtown disco dancer. The last two records come straight out of Los Angeles. We'll start with the groovy dance number by my friends Posso, who absolutely kill it live as well (as I witnessed in New York several weeks ago.) Finally, finally, finally... OFWGKTA. You all heard thename, you all know the steez. But out of the camp comes Frank Ocean, with one of the best releases I've heard in a long time. This is 21st Century soul music at it's finest. So I hope you all enjoy this mix. Download it, share it, rock out to it. Thanks a million, as always.

1: Kanye West "Monster feat. Nicki Minaj" (Teachers Exclusive Nicki Minaj Monster Remix)

Scumbag Funk Volume 2 - Mixed by Cosmo Baker
Cosmo isn't playin' on this one right here. This is a funk mix with some hip hop flava (if that makes any sense). Called what you will, but I'll call it Highly Recommended.
Love Break 3 - Mixed by Cosmo Baker
I have to say that I've been posting some serious heat the last few weeks. Now, I mean that more as a compliment to the deejays than as a compliment to the blog. But, I'll take a compliment whenever and from wherever I can (even if it's from myself).

Still Good - Mixed by Cosmo Baker
Since so many of you enjoyed the original Feeling Good mix, I thought you'd like to hear the sequel. Below is Cosmo Baker's description of the mix."This mix is the sequel to my early summer mix 'Feeling Good.' In that mix I tried to capture, using songs that I love and that have a very special meaning to me, a certain feeling that I equate with the beginning of summer. There's a certain energy and electricity that is about during the first few weeks of the season, when everything seems alive and in it's right place.
For this mix I wanted to try and capture the stillness of summer, when the air is hot and the days are long, and time seems to be moving at a slower pace than normal. This is a companion piece to 'Feeling Good' but it takes a different direction and deals with another type of - but no less intense - energy."

Feeling Good - Mixed by Cosmo Baker
Here is the description of the mix from the man himself."Often times I'll wake up in a certain mood and I'll want to make a mix that will accompany me during the day. This is how the first "Love Break" came about - just a mix for me to listen to in my car during a road trip. Anyway, a few weeks ago, I woke up and it was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, the temperature was just right. It made me think of a certain sound that just means "spring/summer" to me, so before I headed out I made this mix to listen to while I ran around New York. There's nothing like New York in the springtime."
