It’s good to be back with you to round out the rest of the year for the show. As most of you know, I needed a bit of a break for the rest of the summer. Now, I’m ready to share more musical goodness with you.

And believe me, the goodness is in such abundance at the moment that you’ll get just a small sampling of what I have piled up to the brim.

There are also several guest mixes that have been in wait. This week’s guestmix is another exclusive, this time coming from Replife. We’ve had a bit of an accidental meeting during the beginning stages of Co-Op: Miami at WMC 2007, informing me that he was having an album soon to be released on Futuristica Music. That album, The Unclosed Mind, dropped last spring and has been getting plenty of notice in the underground, with production fronted by some of the finest in the scene. He wanted to do a mix for the show, and he came through in fine form. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by some of the tweaks he’s done, so check it out!

Enjoy the music; back atcha next week!

When I was in Miami in March 2007, I had the pleasure to meet a true goddess in Monica Pineda, who goes by the moniker of DJ Moni. She is part of the lovely DJ crew based in NYC known as Ubiquita. She’s been getting her own thing going during the last few years, with her profile elevated through her association with both Giant Step and Gilles Peterson among others. She’s been touring her skillz globally, and has put out a compilation for Scion A/V.

Along with creative partner Mike Vargas, Moni has started Friends We Love, a video series showcasing creative luminaries great and small, as they share their love and passion of their respective works of art and culture through their words.

Here are a sampling of what Friends We Love showcases…

The first one profiles DJ/tastemaker extraordinaire Gilles Peterson chatting about his obsession with football (that’s soccer for us stateside peeps).

The next is of Brand New Heavies vocalist N’Dea Davenport about a serious medical condition affecting women.

Finally, here’s the very first Friends We Love video featuring DJ Bobbito.

Shout-outs to NYC-based singer/songwriter/activist Nanette Natal (introduced to my ears on Raggy’s Off Limits Radio show), who sent me a message on the show’s Myspace, asking me to check out one of her most recent videos for the tune “Six Years Down.” The song is from her 2007 album I Must Be Dreaming. Take in the stimili…

Time for one last go-around before definitely packing it in for the summer. Between the time I took the impromptu summer break and now, the good music has been piling up. Just as I was planning out the Isaac Hayes tribute special last week, I realized that it would have been a cryin’ shame to have the new music pushed aside due to time limitations and the like.

So to make up for the wait that you, the passionate Urban Landscapes listeners, have patiently endured, I’ve decided to drop by our fine radio station and present a three-hour edition of the show. I wasn’t able to get everything I wanted to into the show; for instance, the Stacy Epps album whose promo I’ve just gotten hold of mere hours before the show (and that I said that I’d play later during this week’s broadcast) will have to wait until I return. But there’s plenty, and I do mean plenty, of quality music from all around. You want funk, reggae, house, hip-hop, or jazz? It’s all here, and then some.

Gotta fly, but will be back atcha you again come mid-September. And please, spread the word about the show to whomever you feel will dig the sounds. Peace.

Well the audio player/download links combo worked so well, I’ve decided to spend a surprisingly short amount of time adding them to all of the previous 2008 shows (11.01-11.24).

The quickest way to find the previous shows is to use the Search box at the top of the right sidebar on the show’s home page, and enter the show number (or whatever helps to make it easier for you). Please make sure that you use the Search feature from the home page; otherwise, you may get stuck with a page error.

Hope this helps you out; enjoy the shows! I will keep you posted on adding the goods at the bottom of the playlists for 2006 and 2007.

Greets.

I’ve sorta been working on this on and off for awhile, and until tonight haven’t been able to figured out how to make things play nice. It’s funny sometimes how I can leave something I’m stuck on alone for a few months, return to it and then make everything work smoothly. Well such is the case tonight, and I’m pleased to let you know about this.

From this point forward (including the last two shows), scrolling to the bottom of the page of each playlist will allow you to view an audio player, as well as some download links, for each show. These are additional features for your convenience. If you use iTunes, Feedburner, or Feedblitz, things should work fine. If you experience issues relating to either listening or downloading the show, please let me know.

Also, I will add the player for all of the 2008 shows, as well as the 2007 and 2006 shows when time permits.

Please enjoy, and comments are welcome.
