DJ Stylus – The Vibe Conductor

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.

A.K.A. The Second-Best Way to Spend a Responsible Monday Night

We’re back from WMC and ready to rock. Did you miss us?

Finally liberated an important SD card from Jamil‘s clutches. Now we can reminisce on the first minutes of 2009.

Already put these out there but hard drive space is cheap and you need more goodies to work out/house clean/commute/pre-party to, right?

The two most recent DJ Book mixes on Decipher are must haves. As you know, our slot was moved an hour earlier. It’s a positive move but the one snag in that plan is that Book doesn’t finish at WPGC until 9:30. These two sets might be the last time you hear him on WPFW for awhile and as usual, he kills it.

Jamil‘s still holding down Mondays at Marvin. That’s where he gets to dig into the deeper recesses of his crates that lie hidden when he’s playing his more mainstream gigs. He usually starts out with classic soul befitting the venue’s namesake and then veers off into the outer reaches of futuristic black muzik. You haven’t been yet? Download this set recorded live last month.
