It’s back to two-hour mode this week, and lots of new goodies alongside a few old faves, and even some old faves getting the remix treatment. Good? I hope for you it is.

Got the dates for the mid-year Halfway Rewind Special, an annual deal where i get to play tunes from some of the dope talent presented on the show during the first six months of 2008. Maybe there’s music you might have missed along the way, or you just want to find out how cool the music was when you listened for the very first time. Whatever tickles your fancy, it’s coming up quick. Here are the dates:

• June 19 - Part One: The Albums
• June 26 - Part Two: The Singles and EP’s

I hope you’ll be able to join me, live or via the downloads/podcasts.

Be sure to check out the web site when you have a moment. New content includes a Snapshots interview with Brownswood Recordings crooner Jose James, posted earlier this week. Keep your eyes peeled for more exclusive Snapshot interviews coming soon, plus more content from me and my contributors.

Enjoy the show, and have a fine weekend!

After recuperating during my week off, I’m back to make up for my absence with a three-hour broadcast. The styles go all over the place per usual, so there’s bound to be goodies that you’ll dig.

The Halfway Rewind Specials are forthcoming, looking back at the quality music during the first hald of 2008. Dates will be announced soon.

I’m quite busy at the moment, so will leave it there. Enjoy the show, and will catch you next week.

Time to hit you up with some really fresh goodies, including a new Marcos Valle comp and a terrific new full length by the Ipanemas on the stellar Far Out label. Also got remixes from the Latin-tinged Fania label by way of a new comp put together by Mr. Bongo, and a couple of 7″ singles from Futuristica Music. Among the other goodies that should not be outdone, the long-awaited Soul Designer album from French producer Fabrice Lig is coming soon, and I’ll play you a track from the EP that’ll precede it.

The kicker of the week, though, is this week’s guestmix from Domu. So much has been said about him regarding his productions under his various guises (Sonar Circle and Umod among them), and his TrebleO label has been making waves since its launch not long ago. Given that he has a busy DJ and production schedule, as well as doing some on-air business for BBC’s Radio 1 Xtra, he’s found time to concoct mixes to coincide with the release of Here Comes Treble, TrebleO’s first compilation that should be out in both CD and digital formats by the time you read this. The mix is an exclusive to the show.

Time to move on; back atcha next week.
