A Downtown Affair – August 20, 2010

Last week Mike and I brought through a bunch of staples and favorites. There’s also a healthy dose of Leroy Burgess in celebration of his birthday. You’ve heard most of these on the program before, but we never tire of them. Hopefully you don’t either!

Hippie Torrales on A Downtown Affair

Wow, what a treat! Last Friday we had the illustrious Hippie Torrales of Zanzibar fame join us in the studio for a special guest set in anticipation of his upcoming European tour and record releases. Hippie brought by a selection of music that illuminates the crossover sound emerging in the late ’60s and early ’70s which later defined DISCO along with a few edits and reworks of treasured club classics. A tried, trusted and true selector whose reputation and taste are only topped by his warm and friendly personality. Thanks for this one Hippie!

In part 2, Tackleberry and myself weaved through modern soul, deep disco and select classics to close out the second half of the show. Next week DJ BLT joins us for a guest set on a Friday evening that happens to fall on the 13th of the month. Should be anything but ordinary!

Big thanks to Peter Reyes for making the connection on this one.

Teddy King is back on A Downtown Affair


Teddy King dropped by last Friday before heading over to his weekly ILL Banger Fridaze party at Stay Lounge. This time around he played a mix of classics and hits suitable for any dance floor. Since he was last on our show in October, he’s resurrected Boundless Radio and is uploading new videos and guest mixes each month. I closed the night out and dropped a few new tracks including the Jerline & Friends 7″ on Street Soul (special thanks to Underground Paris for hipping me to it).
