Kamui on A Downtown Affair

Earthquakes and hurricanes have inflicted delays on the posting over here recently. Very pleased to be getting back on track with this guest mix from Kamui. You’ve heard him on the show a few times before and, as always, I have to say I really love these all 45 sets. Perfect sounds for closing out the summer. Keep an eye out for the next Chicken & Waffles + Hot Peas & Butta at Macri Park in Williamsburg on September 11th. Kamui’s been playing there every second Sunday alongside Skeme Richards, Wes and some very special guests.

Sunday Gospel [07]

This week’s gospel set centers on cuts from the late eighties. A bit of an acquired taste, but some bright moments shine through the dated production, cheap keyboards and emphatic vocal deliveries.

A Downtown Affair with Sport Casual

Sport Casual was a guest on the show for the first time last week. He played an eclectic set bringing together reggae pop covers, disco rap, inept boogie obscurities, and a even a touch of Brazilian. If you enjoy the sounds in the first hour and a half, be sure to check out Future Funk for more mixes. Mike and I closed out the evening with a brief set.

the boogie man on a downtown affair

This past week we were joined by Pablo Salinas, aka the Boogie Man, who graced us with a seriously nice extended 45s set… It was all Boogie Man for this week, with a finely programmed mix of soulful sounds across the disco & soul spectrum. He touched on some classics that we’ve slept on while stringing together breaks on doubles and not missing a beat.

He’ll be playing alongside some folks who’ve also put down some really fantastic mixes on the radio program: Old Chris, The Honeydripper, and Sami Dariush. Their party Main Squeeze will be going on at Zebulon (235 Wythe Ave, Williamsburg BK) this Friday night at 10pm. Don’t sleep! Sure to be a music lover’s get down!!!
