Exclusive Mix – The Mixtape ClubOctober 29th, 2012
Had a ball selecting 10 tracks for the Mixtape Club…dope concept, each curator hand picks 10 tasty tunes, no more, no less. I present to you ‘Free’ Push the Fader Radio – Season of Versions September 2012September 12th, 2012
*You can download every Push the Fader Radio Podcast on iTunes for free by subscribing here More than a few people know I have a thing for cover versions. Both subscribers of the podcast and party goers alike know that I always like to keep a fresh batch of alternate versions in my bag. After years of moving dance floors with songs that have become certified classics, new interpretations are breaths of fresh air. When a cover is so well done that it can stand up to the original, that’s a piece of gold. This month’s Push the Fader Radio podcast highlights some of those versions. Songs that nod to the past, with an updated flavor. Perfect timing in my mind, as we make that transition from Summer to Fall and the season eases us in. In NYC it’s not cold yet, trails of the familiar summer are still there, but a little different. It’s almost like a seasonal cover or interpretation during this period. Seasons change, mad things rearrange… DJ Center – Push the Fader Radio | Season of Versions | September 2012 (Download) Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip.

Center Bumps – Paris DJs Special (Download)September 8th, 2011
* All Vinyl Mix | Cover Artwork by Andrés Jiménez This month’s podcast mix comes to you courtesy of the Paris based website for all things soulful, funky and deep – Paris DJs. I’ve been checking for Paris DJs for a number of years now, always updated with the latest info on some of my favorite artists and releases. When the opportunity came to do an exclusive mix for their site, I was more than happy to put this together. Below are a couple questions you may have regarding the mix and you’ll find the link to download it straight to your digital player here. What are Center Bumps? Center Bumps are tunes that I’m feeling that particular week and/or month. They are songs in constant rotation and highlight new and old music that I’ve dug up in that respective time period. I use to include charts in my mailing list emails and people would always write back asking how they could hear that music. Well, now you can courtesy of these monthly mixes. Why did you choose to do an all Vinyl mix? To be honest I’m still high off of Everything in Time being released on vinyl. Vinyl is still my favorite way to listen to music. I have so many gems that haven’t been released digitally, so it made sense to spread love the analog way. Why Paris DJs? Djouls and crew been putting it down for years on that side of the Atlantic, always keeping it fresh. With so many people in common, it was only a matter of time til we connected online for a release! Live at Devil’s Pie, NYC (Download)September 6th, 2011

I bring to you my set live from Devil’s Pie, NYC. Hosted by Dee Phunk. Enjoy.

Today is the first in a series of free downloads from the forthcoming, Everything in Time Remixed project, coming to your digital player this October. Remixes are always refreshing to me as I get to see how other folks re-interpret the works. An all-star remix cast formed over the course of the last year to re-work songs from Everything in Time. That lineup included- DJ Spinna, Waajeed, J.Rawls, DJ OBaH, Sam Champ, Captain Planet, DJ Eleven and others. “You Got the Love” is one of my favorite Rufus and Chaka Khan tunes and Gretchen Parlato and I had a ball paying tribute with our cover of the song from my LP. Now, Sam Champ brings a completely unique and lovely flavor to the song on his remix. Get it for free for the next week below. One for Gil- A Tribute to Gil Scott-Heron (Download)June 21st, 2011
*All Vinyl Mix | Cover Artwork by Haylow for the Roy Ayers Project It’s been just over three weeks since Gil’s passing. Like all death, it is extremely hard to initially get the news, but as time goes on, we find ways to move on and the reality of someone passing fades, deep into our memories. Well, to me, this one is different. The reality of Gil’s passing and the void that has been left with his absence, has been hanging over me since Friday, May 27th. Gil had a voice and spirit like no other- beautiful, soulful and real, with every word he spoke. Whether it was through his critique of America and the ‘deals in back alleys where politicians often hide’ or his call to unify the Black community, shining light on the injustices done to people of color, Gil did it like no other and to the death.

I love this record. It just feels right! One of my all time favorite dance floor classics, “Give me the Night“, flipped so lovely. The fact that Erro enlisted Chubb Rock for mic duties (!!!) means instant CLASSIC. Brooklyn, BBQ, summer time anthem bizness… Eric Roberson feat Chubb Rock – “Summertime (So Hot)” (Download) |
