Soulcialism: THE NEW BREED

First off, click the link above to download the new FRIDAY NIGHT RHYTHM RIOT mp3 mix!! The setlist is below, and it's basically comprised of about half an hour of stuff I've acquired in the past month, and is essentially for my personal listening, so if you don't like it, 'eves. (but you will.)

Secondly, HERE'S THE SCOOP YOU'VE BEEN WONDERING ABOUT:

You may have noticed that, since the all-niter in may, there's been no Soulcialist Party Workers activity. Well, that's cuz I've gone into semi-retirement on the DJ front, for numerous reasons, all of which have to do with scheduling and workload and stuff. Johnno decided, again for his own reasons, not to continue on at the Eagle on his own...

... but you can't keep a good night down, so put on your best wig and your high-heel sneakers and get ready to shake and fingerpop once again at SOULCIALISM: THE NEW BREED!! We've passed the (golden) torch to your new hosts, Ian and Gordy, both of whom you all know from their monthly drinkin'-and-dancin' bouts at Soulcialism and Restless!!

Everything remains essentially the same: NO cover, NO membership required, the White Eagle, 11th & Freyburg, South Side, FRIDAY AUGUST 10 at 10pm!!

Check the flier:

Steamy Modern & Breezy Crossover

The return of the Friday Night Rhythm Riot! (Albeit on Thursday night...)

I made myself this mix for the singular purpose of outdoor grilling on warm summer evenings. Now I share it with yinz. But it comes with two warnings...

1) WARNING: This mix, of Steamy Modern & Breezy Crossover, contains some records which many amongst us (including myself) could truthfully think of as ... well ... DISCO. (Hey - cool with me! I love this stuff. But I thought some of you would wanna know.)

2) WARNING: This mix also contains some records - including the first one - which are not in mint condition ... so there WILL be scratchy noise and such. Again, I kinda like that. It's more real and lifelike. But some people are picky.

Anyway, here 'tis... Soulcialism presents...
