I’m finally posting the followup to a sexy brunching soundtrack mixed live by myself and Adrian Loving. If your brunching tastes are sophisticated, you need the proper musical accompaniment for your dining. Here it is.

Here’s a double dose of great news from the Sol Power All-Stars camp.

Get your crates ready for three fresh slices of afro-funk goodness courtesy of our first official release on G.A.M.M. Enterprises. It’s a label that has provided us with bangers in our sets for years, so we’re excited they’re dropping our first project. The digital release will follow exclusively on Juno in a month with an added bonus cut.

While you wait for the vinyl to arrive in the mail, grab our freebies from our Soundcloud account.

Then come party with us tomorrow and every alternating Friday afterwards at our new Tropicalia residency. Check out the mix below and like us Facebook to download.

While going through some older files on my machine, I rediscovered a live recording of a brunch gig with myself and DJ Adrian Loving that came out much better than I recall. Perhaps that recollection was colored by bottomless mimosas.

So now I’m sharing. Throw this on while partaking of fellowship, alcohol fortified fruit juices and delectable carbs with good company.

There’s no tracklist, but that won’t impair your enjoyment of a carefully chosen selection of jazz, house, disco, soul and some Axel F classics.

Slip in after dinner with someone and continue the conversation. Bring a bunch of friends and take over the spot. Whatever you do is how I play. The only constant is flavor.

Have a listen to this new set, grab the previous joint then stop by tonight for a bite, some tunes, and a place to chill.

[DJ Stylus: sunset at Ku De Ta, 4/19/11]

Much respect to the brother Stevie G. as well as Solomon, NK, Malik and the venues where I played on this trip: Crystal Palace, KU DE TA, Harry Juku and The Cave.

That last one was the only evening that yielded a recording. I’m still hurt about not capturing my sunset session at Ku but these three hours of Stevie and I going in on the afterhours tip at the Cave will have to suffice.

Been inserted into the Marvin week day rotation a few times lately, and since I’ve been getting lounge crowds more suited to hanging out than raving, I’ve been playing Refuge style sets… and enjoying it. Hope you dig it too. There are a few more of these on the hard drive that I’ll share in coming weeks.
