DJ Rahdu – Twitch Pop Up (2-15-21) 1:03:09

1:03:09

I decided to pop onto Twitch and play some musica to get me outta some bad feels. Hip Hop never disappoints and by the time the set was done I was feelin’ much better. I got my wires crossed and said Dilla produced The Roots’ Double Trouble, he didn’t, he produced Dynamite, but it’s Dilla Month so please pardon my faux pas. Speaking of legends, mak…

30:30

I was livestreaming a DJ mix and played 3 John Coltrane flips back to back and began to ponder doing a mix featuring Jazz/Hip Hop hybrids. I decided to challenge myself and only include tracks I've received in 2020. The result is FlyJazzSounds, the 30 minute mix you hear once you press play. Although, inspired by Jazz, the mix is primarily Hip Hop,…

I had a great time putting together this mix of covers to share with y'all. I've been told this mix has something for everyone and I'm glad it's able to connect in that fashion! All of my favorite genres are represented and most have been flipped on their heads like Kandace Springs' version of Lauryn Hill's Ex-Factor. I played it a little loose thi…

I visited Dusty Groove today and was unhappy to see Jose James’ Billie Holiday cover album, Yesterday I Had The Blues had already sold out. I was able to listen to some snippets on iTunes but digi downloads are not available in the States yet. His version of Body and Soul is amazing! I’ve been listening to a lot of Jazz lately and covers of standar…

DJ Rahdu - Covers 001 1:10:34

4+ y ago1:10:34

1:10:34

If mimicry truly is the sincerest format of flattery, then a cover song should certainly qualify as one of the purest ways to convey it. We looked around for some of the best examples and came across a plethora, so many in fact that we couldn’t possibly use them all in one set. Some tracks stay close to the original format, taking just slight liber…

On My Hard Drive Ep.2 (4 Songs For Social Justice & Bilal - Love For Sale) 14:38

4+ y ago14:38

14:38

Around this time is when I get inspired to do a social justice mix in thew vein of my Mental Evolution series. I figured Episode 002 of On My Hard Drive would be a good place to set some songs I would definitely include if I were to do a mix soon. I've also been mining my Hard Drive and came across Bilal's shelved 2004 album, Love For Sale. This al…

DJ Rahdu - Gypsy Eyes (Unfinished Mix) 50:41

4+ y ago50:41

50:41

I left my iPod in the house Friday night as I was rushing to DJ the Julie Dexter/Jaafar concert. Choosing not to listen to the radio, I blindly selected a CD from my Jeep’s console. It was unmarked, so when the intro began I nearly crashed my Jeep because I hadn’t heard this mix in years. This mix was created around 2005-2006 and is a sexy soulful …

DJ Rahdu - The Suite Spot: Maxwell Remixes Mix 59:10

4+ y ago59:10

59:10

In 1996 I was fiercely committed to East Coast Hip Hop and discovering the breaks used to create it. I had a friend who worked at a local music shop at a strip mall perpendicular to my job, and during my scheduled break I would visit, kick the Willie BoBo and in turn be laced with whatever I could carry out. I remember one evening, while staging th…

As a child I spent countless hours glued in front of the television watching videos on MTV, but when we finally got BET in '84 I was introduced to a crew of Smooth Operators that would have a long-lasting effect on me and legions of others. Appearing in constant rotation was one of the most aesthetically pleasing acts, unbound by genre, that contin…

DJ Rahdu - Sound Traveler Series #27 (RecordBreakin) 58:41

4+ y ago58:41

58:41

I feel whenever they are behind the turntables, it should be the DJ's desire for the crowd to sound travel, to literally be taken on a musical journey. Directing their attention to awesome treats and helping them discover cuts never considered all while keeping the flock away from wack jams like a glorified tour guide should be the DJ's objective. …

DJ Rahdu – Discogs Mix 71 1:00:55

4+ y ago1:00:55

1:00:55

I honestly had no clue what to include on my mix for Discogs. I had an idea of course, but was unsure of exactly how I wanted to present/express myself. I've done a boatload of Nu Soul/Hip Hop mixes, and several mixes of the new jazz artists on the scene and didn't wanna paint myself in a corner artistically. When I think of Discogs, vinyl immediat…

Skoolwerk Apparel x DJ Rahdu – Sun-Ra T-Shirt & Mix 31:11

31:11

The inspiration: Born and raised in my city, Sun Ra is a constant muse and musical icon whose philosophy included thinking outside of the box and not being confined to another’s ideas. Coupled with the increase of albums being hailed as classics or failures within hours of release I imagined a musical listening society that allowed an album a reaso…

34:38

R.I.P. Dilla. Since Jay Dee’s passing in 2006, DJs have been releasing mixes/compilations of his music nonstop. Normally, what you’ll hear are more of the hip hop cuts, but I wanted to showcase more of the soulful tracks he’s produced. We interviewed Dwele shortly after Dilla passed and he said, “You’ve probably nodded your head to more Dilla track…

This mix began as a blend of instrumentals. After I'd selected the 9th Wonder instrumental reworking of Vicki Anderson's Stop on By and Babu's refixing of Dionne Warwick's You're Gonna Need Me, I decided to go another route. Both of the originals have powerful female vocals which immediately put me in the mind of Northern Soul. Leela James and Geor…

My first encounter with Herbie Hancock was in 1983, as a 6 year old, watching his Rockit video on MTV. Completely unaware of his 21 year history, I would either dance around the room or stand, mouth agape in awe of the mannequins/robots, DST’s scratching and that catchy synth line. It would be almost 20 years before I reconciled that the guy with t…
