As always, peace and respect to my man Velanche. It’s been a while since I posted anything on the Urban Landscapes site, so glad to see it constantly moving forward week after week. I thought you guys might wanna hear my latest show of vinyl madness. Show number 60 is available now to download on to your iPod/mp3 player, just go to my site and follow instructions.

I know that Velanche will dig the sounds on No.60, you’ll hear R-A-R-E jazz, funk and soul vinyl stretching across the globe from South Africa, France, USA, India, Israel, UK, Japan… and a few S-E-C-R-E-T tracks too… It’s a tight show, enjoy

PEACE “V”, you take care…Raggy

Time to revisit a theme I’ve wanted to get back to for most of the year, as this week seemed to have been as good a time as any to play another round of favorites from Urban Landscapes’s 10-year run. I’ve pulled out a small subset of 12″ singles from my vinyl collection.

Unlike the first round in January, most all of the music is from early 2000 onwards. I would need to have many, many more hours to try and play all of the music featured on the show that have withstood the test of time. Given that there are only two hours in this one, here’s hoping that you find the collection of music worthy of the spirit of what Urban Landscapes is all about; global club culture, made fresh weekly.

Enjoy, and the show will return next week with fresh new music. Peace.

Unless you’ve been on a deserted island with no means of communication whatsoever, this week was all about the presidential election here in the United States on Tuesday November 4th. Voter turnout was massive, with long lines of excited people casting their votes. By the end of the day, at about 8pm. U.S. Pacific time, Barack Obama was projected as the winner of the U.S. presidency.

The euphoria was electrifying, not only in the states, but throughout much of the world. For the first time in many decades, there was a feeling that a person’s vote can make a difference, and that the possibility of the status quo no longer to be the order of the day.

It remains to be seen just how things will go, but the sense of hope and optimism cannot be underestimated. It’s a special time, a historic time, a time that change is anticipated in a new, progressive direction. Let’s all hope that true change will occur, but there’s no denying that things are off to a memorable start.

This week’s show starts off with some tunes that are as timely now as they were when they were originally released back in the 1970’s, and are as relevant today as they’ve ever been. Following that, plenty of new music.

Keep the faith, and have a good week!
