AlphaTrion (RftA/WMD) | South Got Something To Say
A b-boy mix featuring new and old funk, all stuff I've been playing at battles for years. If you've ever asked me about a track, chances are it's on here.
Part of a DJ’s job is education, expose people to new music. To that end, I’ve provided a tracklist for everything I played in the mix, if you download it. However, rather than providing just the artist and title so you can plug it in YouTube, I’ve only provided hints. It could be the name of a Label, a studio, an engineer, a musician, re-editor, a place...you get the idea. You’ll have to do some googling. For newer artists I’ve made it pretty easy so you can get to their website or their label’s within probably one search, other stuff is gonna take some digging.
Along the way, hopefully you'll learn a lot more about the music of this culture than just a new url to bookmark. Thanks for your support.
Providing the mix for free, but if you dig it and want to support, there's a donate link above.

Anushka | Never Can Decide
Anushka is Brighton-based duo made up of producer Max Wheeler and singer/songwriter Victoria Port.
The sweet tones of 'Never Can Decide' distill Anushka's charms into 4.33 of bubbling effervescence. Victoria's heart-torn lyrics twist and turn over the vicissitudes of romance.
Meanwhile, Max's production brings to mind the dusty soulfulness of Moodyman, the futurism of Jacques Greene not to mention a hint of pop-wise love songs of Brit electro classics.
Songs with the laidback charm of 'Never Can Decide' are why Anushka are on course to make a load of new friends in 2014.

Lady Alma | It's House Music
)
Yoruba Records is honoured to bring to you the incomparable Lady Alma.
Coming from the roots of that Philly soul sound, she quickly became synonymous with house music. Her powerful voice and empowering lyrics lift generations to fully understand self-worth and self-love.
Osunlade is a force within the foundation of house music. Born at the intersection of funk, jazz, blues and rock n roll, he injected new sounds into house with his pristine production and respect for the harmonizing roots of all music. These two dynamic souls join forces in an explosive song.
It's House Music takes us back to a time when one would stand in the alley of the warehouse district in sub-zero weather to hear the latest grooves of the night, dancing till dawn and emerging only for breakfast and a bed. It's House Music’ will have you dancing all night long with its infectious hook and anthem to house music itself.
Lady Alma's soul stirring powerhouse vocal perfectly marries the mood and movement of this multidimensional sonic offering. This mix will have the world passing the plate from the dance floors of Chicago, Detroit, New York and Philly to the shores of Cape Town and Nigeria.
Written by Osunalde & Alma Horton

Shon Roka - Erykah Badu (Quick Mix) | True Essence Of Love
Usually when I put out a mix, it tells you how I'm feeling at the moment. This one is so mellow, so Soulful and R&B, I don't think it truly tells you what's on my mind. I once was told, every mix I put out, there was something going on in my life. This is true...This mix was done because I'm content with my emotions, but I still struggle with the pass. Anyhow, enjoy, hate, love, whatever you feel is necessary. #BHZLife Blog
