A Downtown Affair – October 21st 2011

Last week Mike and I were back in the studio for a nice “residents only” set. We shook the dust off some classics that haven’t gotten much play from us lately and debuted the Rim and Kasa edit off Red Greg’s amazing Under The Influence Volume 1 compilation. There are a limited number of vinyl pressings floating around, so don’t sleep! The set starts off a bit melancholy with Trevor Herion’s best Labyrinth-era-Bowie and slowly picks up with Mike digging out album cuts from Orlando Johnson, Rene & Angela and Leroy Hutson. Enjoy!

Love On The Run On A Downtown Affair

We coaxed Love On The Run back to the air for the first in-studio he’s played for us in a while. Always one to set a proper vibe, he graced us with a mix of disco and soul that he’s calling Analog Bedroom. He’s got a few events coming up, so be sure to check out Secret Rendezvous, but we definitely want to plug this Saturday’s union of Sharegroove and Love On The Run at Tandem.

camp debonair meets play it loud!

We held a little Camp Debonair pre-party in the studio on A Downtown Affair a few weeks back. Doug Gomez & Son of Sound from Play It Loud! joined us along with our good friend Stegs from Vietcong Disco for a disco boogie set done carousel style – three selections before stepping off the decks and letting your partner on. The Play It Loud! deejays put on one of our favorite parties, so it was nice to find out that things vibed real well! What resulted was a nice preamble to the next night’s Camp festivities. Counselor Stegs still holds the master tapes for the wee hours wind down… Future release TBD.

MAMABEAR FROM SWEATER FUNK ON ADA

Last week we were joined by Mamabear from the Sweater Funk crew who have been doing their boogie-centric party on a weekly basis out in SF for a few years now. We chatted for a bit and got some context around the illustrious boogie-funk party, the jackets, the Chinatown vibe and more. Mamabear put together a pretty stunning set of boogie & soulful disco material, touching on some classics and a few lesser known cuts that threw us for a loop! Tackleberry and I closed up shop in complementary style. Big up to Monk One for linking this one up!
