//The Oakland Stroke x The Perfect Beat..



//It's that time that comes around only a handful of times of year.. that magical 5TH Friday when the stars align and Z&D spin for the hometown at Luka's. Quite possibly my favorite party of all to spin at, you can expect all kinds of jams mixed with lots of town love. WE LOVE THE TOWN, just like the Parkway Theater (RIP). Here's a lil joint to get you fired up for Friday:

Tony Toni Toné - "Oakland Stroke (Upso Mix)" (EX UK Polydor, 1990)


//This Saturday ain't no slouch either, as Zita and I follow up with another installment of THE PERFECT BEAT, in which we take the turntables on a soul trip from continent to continent drawing Sharpie lines between Fela and Bebel and Beres and Amel. Expect the unexpected and that means Good Music. And for the road, a tune penned by the one Stevie Wonder..1neLuv

Minnie Riperton - "Take a Little Trip" (Capitol, 1974)

//Sonido x Sade x L.A..

//It's a trip, to this day I have yet to spin in Los Angeles. That's why I'm particularly excited about this upcoming run to the sun this coming week. As a Bay Area cat, Tony Toni Tone's "It Never Rains In Southern California" always comes to mind when contemplating a ride south. Thanks to the homies Phatrick and Roza I'm coming down to bless Devil's Pie L.A. with a new Sade tribute! The first Sade tribute I did was back in February 2008 at Namu Bar in SF, and the recording is still available as a free download here and a mixCD here. For next Wednesday's set I've dug up some more joints I didn't play before as well as some other surprises, plus we've got exclusive Sade shirts and red velvet cupcakes!

//I also have the opportunity to spin at Sonido Sundays, a reggae/latin party at the Little Temple in Silverlake, former home of the infamous Root Down Thursday nite party with Sonido Soundsystem selectors Higher, Sloe Poke, and DJ Expo alongside The Rhythm Section. I'll be packing a toolbox of reggae 45s to throw down. L.A. fam, see you when I get there. 1neLuv..
