A New Feature

I am launching a new feature coming this Friday. And it will continue every 3rd Friday of the month.

Introducing BSB Flashback

BSB Flashback will be a two part, two hour feature.

The featured hour, the 2nd hour, will be a mix by Afropino called The Butter Hour. Sometimes this will be a studio mix. Other times it will be a sample from our last Saturdays of the month party called Butter at Ottobar.

The 1st hour might be a studio mix by me that has been previously released (for example re-recorded without the talk over of the regular BSB show), a sample of a live DJ set by me, or a submission of a guest mix.

Just like BSB — Brand Spanking Bought shows, each hour of BSB Flashback can be heard directly through this site, on my accompanying record label website mGrooves Music, on Apple Music podcasts, Spotify podcasts, Google podcasts, Mixcloud, and via other podcast software.

Enjoy!

A Song About Life

So here is some stuff about Lo-Fi Hip Hop. It’s not new.

Just because something is new to you, doesn’t mean that it is new. Other monikers this ‘genre’ has gone by is Downtempo, Instrumental Hip Hop, and just plain ole Lo-Fi to name a few.

No offense to newer artists like Kaytranada or Sango. Such well established artists such as Mark Farina, King Britt, Nightmares On Wax, and J Boogie has paraded sounds of this type for decades. Yet, there is a growing number of people who are talking this style of performance and production as if it just climbed out of primordial soup.

So on this throwback Thursday, I am re-introducing you to some of that older Lo-Fi. This mix of mine, A Song About Life, from the mid-2000s includes some great tunes by Morcheeba, DJ Shadow, and was compiled all from vinyl.
