luv397 Well That was Fucked Up

well that was fucked up

“well that was fucked up” sums up 2020 pretty well. things felt uneasy at the end of 2019, like the cracks in the bottom of the basin were getting bigger and bigger, and things were getting heavier and heavier. something was about to give. that’s why i titled the first mixtape of last year Hold On because it felt like 2020 was gonna be a rough ride. as i started putting together 2021’s inaugural mix i intentionally chose only new music from 2020 and unintentionally created a mix that represented the crazy year that was. well that was fucked up is designed to help exorcise our collective ill feelings from 2020 by grooving them out of our system. clearing our minds and souls to help us better tackle the challenges that lay ahead. may it help you power the future.

funk 'n' soul
luv396 - Townsend Family Soul

Townsend Family Soul

at the beginning of the year a family friend whose parents were moving to a smaller home, very kindly dropped off their family’s record collection. a collection that spanned decades and was full of soul, jazz, reggae, calypso, hip hop, funk, disco and r&b, as well as their family history and lots and lots of love. it was overwhelming and a little daunting; and then the pandemic came. with nothing but time i dove right in, listening and learning and really digging the music. it was a good companion during this strange year. i don’t really know how to thank the wonderful people that bestowed this gift of music, but i do know i can share it. so here’s a mix of uplifting soul music full of life and love to help us ride out the rest of this arduous year with a bounce in our step and groove in our hearts. much luv.

A Shade Of Blue

well, it finally happened. she kicked me out. it’s over. i’m left to my own devices, picking up the pieces of my life. all i got going for me is this dingy, run down, lonely hotel room, a bottle of whiskey, some reefer, the night, the rain and some blue jazz on the radio. it’ll do for tonight. after i sleep this off i will deal with tomorrow.

Lolloping Loops

lay back into this heavy blend of blunted beats and lidded grooves. a classic trip hop sound from luv (circa mid-nineties) formed with three turntables, a mixer and a deep dive into the Record Canyon.

Upholstery Farm

back in the day Davey, Mickey, John and i would head downtown to this boss club called the Upholstery Farm. it was an amazing space, lots of levels, hideaway nooks and a big dancefloor. the place was totally psychedelicized. it use to be a fabric warehouse back in the 1940s but for a few years in the sixties it was the best place to hang out, pick up chicks and dance our cares away. it closed at the end of 1968 due to shady dealings but i will never forget the groovy tunes we would shake and shimmy to every night at the Upholstery Farm.

Flummoxed

my mind has been a jumble of confusion. so i took the swirling sounds, off-kilter rhythms and odd sonic signatures running loose in my mind and, with a synthesis of new and old, created a timeless void where we can go when we need to lose ourselves.

oh, hi there. don’t mind me. i am just putting some beautiful music up on the interwebs. much like i have been doin’ for about… oh well would you look at that. seems that this here mixtape marks the 10th year that dj luv’s records have been going around. that’s a mighty long time. but i’m here to tell ya that i don’t mind. no sir, not one bit. why i would be making these darn mixtapes anyway so i figure why not share ’em. so don’t you worry, you can keep expectin’ ’em, cos as far near as i can tell we have only scratched the surface of what the Record Canyon has tucked away. thanks to those who have listened and shared. spread the luv, that’s what i always say.

Showing You The Cracks

techno is a pure dance music designed to take the cacophony of everyday chaos and organize it in just the right manner as to make a dancefloor erupt with timeless uncontrollable grooves. as serious rhythms free flow from the speakers we are witness to the breaking apart of all that we know. the cracks can no longer be hidden.
