This mix is about the tension and harmony between seasons, facets of the self, and the continuum of existence. The music featured here moves across a variety of (sub)genres and styles to highlight the melancholy, joy, love, rejection, and other emotions that compete for our total attention at any given moment. More importantly, these songs transport listeners across state-constructed borders and lifts them beyond the gravitational pull of planets. The tracks work together to obliterate time and space as we know it, thanks to the various vessels through which this audio communication was gifted to us.
Several inspirational people transitioned back to the spiritual essence during the long process of curating this mix. Some were personal friends and acquaintances. Others existed outside of my personal space. All taught me some important lessons about humanity and provided glimpses of how we can work together to heal it from its current ills. I dedicate this mix to them, as well as to my people who still travel with me in their earthly form. Some of you just arrived. Others have been here for a few years. I love and cherish you all.

I caught this about a week ago via Twitter after I saw Vikter Duplaix and Questlove tweeted about it. After a pretty busy schedule of putting in work and family, I finally got around to it. A man who's very well deserving of being called "The Magnificent", DJ Jazzy Jeff, a heavyweight in his own right, comes back with another classic banger with a talented vocalist by the name of Ayah. Some things you pretty much know are going to be sweet based on name alone, but it's even sweeter when something amazing is given to supporters for FREE. Visit their Bandcamp page now and get it while you can. Enjoy!
Since June 2009 Saturn Never Sleeps, composed of the legendary Philly natives DJ/Producer King Britt and Rucyl, formerly of the G.O.A.T.S.

I know this is not a music artist, however this is an important artist who is music related and an important figure in the world of dance. Dancer, choreographer and professor Judith Jamison, born May 10, 1943 in Philadelphia, PA, got her start in the world of dance as a child at the Judimar School of Dance, then later attending Fisk University. She left Fisk to attend the Philadelphia Dance Academy, where she eventually became a visiting professor. 
Here's some HOT new flava from Philly based singer Nyoka Ny-D from her Zealot Mixtape Vol.1. "Get Ah Move On" displays her MC side. Check it out and ENJOY! 
This past weekend, I celebrated 35 years of professional service in the art of DJing. So far to date, I have played in 10 countries and 29 states. This comes from countless hours of practice, music selection and digging for good tunes to present to the masses, even if they aren't familiar. I also have experience as both a music and stage producer. None of this came overnight or simply because I bought some easy to do product. Nor did I just sit back and wait for the next Top 40 list to appear on iTunes to download and play to an audience. Most of all, it was never about women and drinks. I do it for the love, yet I do want to get payed fairly to help take care of my family because of my experience, hard work and time put into my craft.
