Daily aural pleasure: MCDE

The daily aural has certainly not been that daily lately but today I'm on a roll and bringing it back with this little beauty from Resident Advisor Live and MCDE featuring Jeremy Underground at Dimensions festival, Croatia. Its a delightful eclectic mix full to the brim with beauties from funk, soul and bangers. Its available for download too, not one to tell others what to do but download it now, you'd be silly not to really.

You can enjoy it here.

Daily aural pleasure: Akufen





Such a beauty of a tune - couldn't get enough of it back in 2002 and its still going strong and sounding as fresh as ever. From the album 'My Way' which is worth a listen if you've never had the pleasure of listening to it.

Daily Aural pleasure: The Martinez Brothers

Happy Monday people, hope the week is a good one. To help the week get off to a good start todays 'daily aural' comes from The Martinez Brothers with a free 10 track EP.
From the little bio I have feasted my eyes upon its a collaboration project called Masters at Dutch with fellow New Yorkers Jesse Calosso and Blas Cordero. The EP is a thank you to the fans for buying tickets and generally supporting them so they are giving something back in the form of some tunage. What a lovely gesture I say, they sound like nice boys (with great hair) and the tunes are pretty tasty too!
You can read more about the project here. 
Happy Monday!

Daily aural pleasure: They might be taping

My daily aural today is a radioshow I stumbled upon via Soundcloud and another podcast I listen to called Voyage Funktastique. You have to love the virtual highway for where it takes you sometimes.

After listening to my first show Take it out on the groove EP 75 I'm looking forward to hearing more. For me, its a great show filled with funk boogie, soul and more.

Hear it for yourself and check out the links below.

Daily aural pleasure: Galaxians

As I like to have my fingers firmly on the pulse I'm uploading this little beauty, I mean it was only uploaded on their Soundcloud page 2 years ago, so not bad (no sarcasm in that sentence whatsoever!). Its sounds so fresh and I can't wait to hear more of their tunes. You can find out more about them from the links below and when and where they'll be playing.

I stumbled upon this track through the virtual highway via Voyage Funktastique and Midnight Runners, check them out too.

Daily aural pleasure: Tommy II and Ben Jams

I stumbled upon this beauty the other day and in between other bits and pieces its been on repeat. The artist is Tommy II and this edit is by Ben Jams and Tommy II. From his soundcloud it looks like he is part of a collective known as the Slowaverecs. There is more wealth to be found amongst that gang and I can't wait to listen and get involved.

Happy Monday everyone.
Hope you're having a good day and enjoying the bank holiday! I thought I'd get in early with the daily aural pleasure and keep this thing called consistency up. What better way to do that than with some PBR Streetgang. I love their choice of tunes and hope you do too.

Daily aural pleasure: Seth Troxler Rhythm Control Mix

Todays 'Daily aural' is this delightful mix which is slightly more downtempo than the usual mixes I have heard by Seth Troxler. I love it from start to finish, my only niggle is I like so many of the tracks but don't recognise some of them. I have taken to shazam to no avail and am left in wonderment. A job well done I say?! but if anyone knows where I can get my little mits on a track list, spill, especially the track at about 26 minutes. Give it to me baby, pretty please.

You can get a free download here and spot a lovely snap of the fella sprawled over some vinyl, always a winner.

Enjoy the mix, its keeping me company as I type.

Daily aural pleasure: Voyage Funktastique

Voyage Funktastique is a little gem I stumbled upon a while ago and love to listen to. Its a radioshow hosted by Walla P based in Montreal, Canada and is packed full of delightful funk, funk boogie, modern funk and more. 
Its a radioshow I can tune into to relax or get productive, I find it works for both. It has to be said I don't understand some of the interludes as my french is a little rusty but it doesn't make any difference as the music makes up for it.

This is the latest show with Sherm Da Worm, you can find more links to the good stuff below.

Enjoy!

Daily aural pleasure: Derrick Carter

I'm a bit fussy to when it comes to a good mix, you know, one you can actually listen to all the way through without wanting to click stop or FF. This rare treat is by Derrick Carter, titled, 'A brave New World' and is full to the brim with good tunes and has lots of dance potential. Total Bliss.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do....

Daily aural pleasure: Neil Quigley

I have just rediscovered Madonna thanks to a tweet by EatsEverything with this recommendation. The power of a tweet and sharing. I had forgotten how good Vogue is and how powerful the lyrics are. I can't wait to get on the dance floor and well, Vogue to this. 

Enjoy and have a good weekend! (and don't forget to use your imagination, thats what its for!)

Daily aural pleasure: Slightly Transformed Vol.1

This is one of my favourite compilations and its firmly on repeat at the moment. Its rammed full of disco, funk and house which equals a good time.The great news is when you've listened to this there is more of the good stuff (check out the links below) and that can only mean one thing, more quality music.

Enjoy and I'll share more in the coming days if you haven't got there first.

Daily aural pleasure: Evan Michael

This guy, Evan Michael to be precise, is proof it pays to listen to people that follow you on soundcloud. One little click has just led me to spending the last half an hour, and counting, lost in music. This Gran Via EP (with delightful artwork) is firmly on repeat and my ass, and the rest of me of course, wants to go to Brooklyn and dance the night away, right away! This has to happen soon.

I have added a few links below so you can listen to some of his other stuff. He is also editor of www.brooklynbass.net, another wealth of unbelievable music it seems. I might have to leave exploring that one till tomorrow as otherwise I'll be here all night clicking and listening, listening and clicking and repeat.

Until then, enjoy the tunes, how could you not?
