Mixtape Mondays: DJ Clark Kent, Freddie Joachim x Question, Nice Rec
DJ Clark Kent - Grown and Sexy Mix Volume 13:
The legendary DJ/Producer DJ Clark Kent has been putting out this mix series for a while. Volume 13 (yep, he's been busy) delivers more disco, boogie, funk, and soul classics from the vaults. There's no tracklist so you're gonna want to have Shazam at the ready.
Freddie Joachim & Question - Mellow Orange Vinyl Podcast Vol 2:
These Cali dudes have been producing some really dope instrumental beat projects and remixes on their Mellow Orange label for the past few years. This video provides visual evidence that they're also serious vinyl collectors and DJs. For fans of classic jazz (Geoge Benson, Cal Tjader, Ahmad Jamal), legendary hip-hop production (Dilla, Dilla, Dilla...beats beats beats), and rare breaks (Leroy Hutson, Ivan Jones), this mix will do the job. Watch or download via the link below (and get Vol. 1 here)
Nice Rec - Boogieman 3:
When he's not funking mu'funkas heads up as 1/3 of Pittsburgh's hottest electro-funk band, E.L.Q., Nice Rec is hitting up the likes of Jerry's Records and eBay, unearthing late 70s-early 80s boogie and funk rarities and blending them to seamless perfection for his Boogieman mix series. No intros, no vocal drops, no intermissions…just feel-good, rollerskating-ready bangers good enough for a Jheri Curl showdown. Volume 2 is also available for taking via Nice Rec's Soundcloud.
