Count to 20 - A Count Bass-D mix by Bowls


Real quick....this was recorded LIVE on June 24, 2009. This is the first in a series of five mixes, all of which will feature 20 joints that Count Bass-D either produced, rapped on, or sampled. It was hard picking songs for this first volume, as there's gonna be 80 more tracks that I'll be spinning in the future. I tossed these together and it felt right. This was made with all vinyl, no MP3's or CD's, and Part 2 will be recorded the same way. All "mistakes" have been kept intact to preserve the vibe. Enjoy, and definitely be thankful for your man Dwight Farrell and his music.

I'm DJ'ing at the Blueprint show on Friday

If you come down to the Exit/In on Friday evening, you'll be able to catch me DJ'ing for my friend Oriana Lee, as well as providing the music inbetween sets. I don't know too much about the artists in the lineup, but they all sound good from what I've heard. Peace to Sean Maloney from the Nashville Scene for this write-up.

I heard that Eastside Fish is gonna be providing food for us backstage. That might be the best part of the show, considering I've never tried the crunkest fish in town. I'm counting down the days....

Until next time,

Bowls

PS: R.I.P. Funky Good Time and Boom Bap. I suppose all good things must come to an end. I'm not trying to miss a beat though, so stay tuned for what's to come in the next month.

One Night Only - A Live Jazz Mix by Bowls

Here's a little something I've been wanting to do for a while. A quick, one-take mix of some of my favorite jazz joints. Lots of funky business here, and quite a bit more melody than any other mix I've put out. Get this one while you can, because if everything goes according to plan....another version of this mix might be going up pretty soon.

All original wax pressings. No MP3s or CDs were harmed during the recording of One Night Only.

Stay tuned for a tracklisting and more info.

But for now...

Stay cool.

Yeah, that link is dead. It wasn't called "One Night Only" for nothing. So peace to the 50 of you who downloaded the mix, and to all those who slept.....the dirty version will hopefully be here soon.


Until next time,

Bowls

PS: I plan on killing it at the Blue Bar tomorrow night. BPM The Street Going-Away Party. It starts at 9:00 and ends when they turn on the lights. Peace to Case and Coolout.
