Fooling myself.

Oldie from British production duo King Kooba. Vocals provided by Melissa Heathcote. Mellow, Sunday afternoon chillout steez.

Freaks.

This track still gets pulled up a few times on my iPod when it comes up in the shuffle. 5 star rating.

This track features Krayzie Bone and Adina Howard on the vocals and is sampled from the infamous "Moments In Love" by Art of Noise.

This track has a nice balance of musical chill and vocal aggressiveness.

Please to enjoy.

Moan.

Sexy house from Denmark's Trentemoller. This is his remix of his original, so you know it's official.

Vocals courtesy of Ane Trolle.

Round and Round.

Anyone remember Jonell? She was around for a hot second in the beginning half of the 2000's but quickly disappeared apparently to never be heard from again.

This version of "Round and Round" is the remix featuring Method Man which was featured on the soundtrack of 2001's "How High".

Produced by Hi-Tek, the original version featuring only Jonell appeared on his 2001 LP "Hi-Teknology".

In 2005 she was working with Hi-Tek on her debut solo album on Def Soul records which never came to fruition. I have a promo 12" of the first single "Let It Go" and it's a good track. Not sure as to why that project fell through.

Velvet Rope.

Classic title track from Janet's 1997 LP "The Velvet Rope".

Happy Friday!

El Momento.

Super sexy instrumental from Danish producer Jens Gad, formerly of Enigma.

Camioux.

I've been bumpin this on my iPod a lot as of late. Super smooth (as always). Great chillout track that makes your head bop.

Boozoo Bajou - Camioux

Planet Caravan.

I'm gonna take it back pretty far to way before I was born or even before my parents met each other.

Black Sabbath's 1970 LP "Paranoid" is an obvious classic (they are the pioneers of heavy metal). I love this track. It came up on my iPod's shuffle today as I was walking down White Plains Rd. this afternoon and complemented the beautiful post-allergy season weather perfectly. Had to pull it up a couple times since I haven't heard this track in awhile.

randy flash memorial mix.

I recorded this mix in memory of DJ Randy Flash, for Sundae Philadelphia.

A mix of old and new, mostly chill r&b and nu-soul stuff. You can download it for free from the player below.

luvstep live.

Philly friends Dirty South Joe & Flufftronix have released a new Luvstep mix, this time a live recording of their set at last week's Mad Decent block party in Philadelphia.

For those who know not what Luvstep is, check this link and get up to di time.

This mix is hot. Definitely different from what anyone else is doing right now.

your time.

Here's a non-released gem from Queens twin-sister duo Nina Sky. I am a big fan of theirs. Can you think of many artists who score top-10 hits in multiple international genre's (dancehall, reggaeton, r&b)? That's pretty impressive.

Oh, and they DJ now as well. I would like to check out one of their parties sometime.

Anyway, back to the track at hand. This is on their self-titled debut album from 2004. The track was produced by Cipha Sounds and the late Disco D.

Nina Sky "Your Time"

*EDIT*

I want to apologize for my earlier post stating that the benefit for Randy was scheduled for tonight, July 22.

It clearly states on the flyer that it is scheduled for next week, the 29th.

Again, I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. It's been a long week. Not a lot of sleep and long days into nights are taking their toll on my brain. Looking forward to a full 8 hours of sleep tonight.

RIP Randy Flash

Last night, Monday, July 19, Randy "Flash" Miller passed away. Randy was in the hospital in critical condition after suffering a gunshot wound to the chest the previous Thursday, July 15th at a party.

I can't believe he is gone. I had run into him about a month ago at the Chinatown bus station in Philadelphia. We were both waiting for the 6:30 am bus to NYC. It was great catching up and talking shop. Sad to think that that was the last time I was to see him.

A memorial event is taking place this Thursday, July 22, from 6pm-2am at Octo (221 N. Columbus Blvd. aka Delaware Ave., Philadelphia). Admission is $20 and all proceeds are going to the Randall Miller Memorial Fund.

THIS WEDNESDAY 7/21! SoundLib in Brooklyn!

Check me out this Wednesday at SoundLib alongside DJ Lil Tiger in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Some Nite Cap Selection flava is going down that night.

/// This week's SOUNDLIB will feature the Bronx's double L, a founding member of G13 Sound International who made a name for himself over the past decade spinning hip-hop, reggae and dancehall at parties and clubs as part of Philly's reputed DJ scene.

A classically trained musician with a love for music across genres, double L's range extends well beyond the usual party fare. Lately, he's been showcasing his diverse tastes and mixes through two music blogs: Nite Cap Selections (http://nitecapselections.blogspot.com), focusing on downtempo and soul; and, In Your Blood Clot Face (http://bloodclotface.blogspot.com), dedicated to reggae, dancehall and soca.

We're excited to have him demonstrate some of that musical versatility in person on the decks at SOUNDLIB this week.

DJ LIL TIGER will also be in the place with his trademark selections of soul (new and old), funk, Hip-Hop, afrobeat, reggae and much more.

As always, the party is FREE all night. We start and end EARLY (9pm-1am), so we won't keep you out too late. Hope to see you there. ... ///

my inner me.

I might need a late pass for only discovering Parov Stelar recently (within the last month or so). But I must say that I am blown away at his work and consider myself a fan.

I definitely recommend checking out his site and supporting on iTunes or your preferred digital download store.

This track (featuring the lovely vocal stylings of Phoebe Hall) is getting a bunch of "pull-ups" in my iTunes rotation as of late.
