Yo we got lots of new music for you and your fin de semana. YAY! I can't wait. There's no particular theme today, just a buncha stuff to dump onto your iPods and jam with it! But just before you head out, please take time to read about Myanmar and how YOU can help victims who have lost their family members and homes. These are our brothers and sisters, and we have the tremendous opportunity and responsibility to respond to our fellow human beings. Give here, here, and here. Also you probably heard about the quake in the Sichuan Province of China. Read all about it and apply yourself. When you're done reading and educatin' up, get some music!

Okay so it's not Friday! But we still got some fresh music for you. I got busy, it happens. Actually I'm in the mood for lots of Jazz so I decided to dig up so new and old Jazz-esque tracks. Some old, some nu, acid etc. It's all really dope stuff. If you just listen to this mix you see that the Jazz sound has evolved so much and the dynamic of what people are doing to it these days is incredible. The elders never saw it coming. But soon after all the sound has changed, going back to the old LPs will be the fresh stuff. I'm listening to this mix at sbx, headphones on, reading Dwell. Check it out!
