playjazzloud sessions Vol. 33

A new toy came in through the mail this weekend and after being on the wait list for over 3 months I'd almost forgot I even ordered the damn this. Please excuse the patchy mixing on this one, I basically pulled it out of the box like a 5 year old at X'mas and knocked out this mix. As I get to grips with it over the next few weeks things should play a little smoother. This week there's some dubstep from Kode9, latin from Buena Vista, house from Mark E, Africa, soul and jazz is covered too and there's more from the Broken Bells, yes they are great and PJL is happily and firmly on the bandwagon. It's the same with the Phoenix mixes, if they keep coming this good, I'll be playing them. Listen below or download from here.


Al Green - Simply beautiful (Ex-Friendly Re-edit)

Kode9 - 9 Samurai

Matata - Love is the only way

DJ Mitsu The Beats - Playin' Again feat. Ivana Santill

Frankie Valentine - Marinheiro So feat. Monica Vasconce

Buena Vista Social Club - Dos Gardenias

Roy Gerson - If I Had You

Mark E - Nocturn

Phoenix - Fences (Friendly Fires Rmx)

Shina Williams & His African Percussionists - Agboju Logun

James Pants - The Eyes Of The Lord

Broken Bells - The Ghost inside


Runtime just over an hour.

Vacations Records: Los Feliz



They've been open for a while but haven't had time to stop by till now. Well curated and not silly prices, definitely worth stopping by and support the vinyl. Seems like East of Cahuenga is where more and more vinyl is showing up (obviously not forgetting the TBL folks on Fairfax). Find Vacation online here.
