Yes folks, it’s time for a new show. With it, you get yet another exclusive Urban Landscaps Guestmix, coming this time from DJ Nova. If you’ve been following the show in recent years, you know that he’s an ardent supporter of Urban Landscapes, broadcasting the show as part of a weekly late-night lineup on Rodon FM in Serres, Greece. He has his own shows including Nova Planet, and is an extremely hard-working tastemaker…hosting events, spinning at gigs, and even taking time to put together compilations. He comes through with an excellent jazzy mix that I think you’ll enjoy.

So suck it up, and enjoy the show. Back atcha next week…peace.

Lightning struck yet again at another valiant attempt to record last week’s show live. It was a workaround after my attempt from the week before. Though the method itself worked like a charm, enough of the audio had enough noise in it that ultimately it was discarded. Once again, you’re getting a new show minus my voice. Things should be fine next week.Oooo but the music is a good mix, including new Atjazz from his forthcoming album, the brand new full-length from 2 Banks of Four (sent to me by Demus himself…big ups, sir) that’s the first great album of 2008 (as will Atjazz when it finally hits the streets), another taste from the forthcoming Daru & Reggie B. album on 4Lux White (yet another winner), and a great re-edit blending Jhelisa’s “Friendly Pressure” and Dudley Perkins’ “Flowers” (I’ve waited nearly four years for that to see the light of day…thank you thank you thank you!!).

This show also marks the first Urban Landscapes Guestmix of 2008, and the mix is an exclusive coming from DJ Offbeat from New York. He’s the host of a podcast called Soul Funktion. He’s asked me to do a mix for his show, and in turn I’ve asked the same from him. Well he delivered the goods on his end first, and I’ve yet to keep my end of the deal. He will get his in due time; meanwhile, enjoy the one-hour mix that he’s put together.

The new site construction is still coming along nicely, and I’m going to have a few people contribute to the blog. I have to tell you, all of them are keen music lovers. I’ll let you know more about this very soon.

Have a good week; another guestmix is coming your way on the next show. Peace.
