The Start Of A Lovely Day

this past Sunday some buddies from Montreal dj collectives the Jazz Amnesty Sound System, Canicule Tropicale and Tupi Collective spent over eight hours in the park playing uplifting music for the folks that came for some afternoon delight. it was very fun. this mix is a sketch of how the day started with luv behind the decks. i was going for a groovy mix of soul jazz with distinct Sesame Street flavors and some churchyard vibes for good measure. it was a lovely day.

luv409 - Mysterious Cosmic Jellyfish

Mysterious Cosmic Jellyfish

you arrive washed out by the sun, covered in salt from sweat and the sea, drifting along the inward journey to your paradise. you followed the call of the mysterious cosmic jellyfish that resides in the center of your own personal Bermuda Triangle, lost between mind, heart and soul. it summoned you so it could impart the wisdom of the deep. open yourself up and let the ancient understanding take you to a dreamy world of fantasy filled with warm sea breezes.

luv408 They Found Us

They Found Us

it was 20 years ago, way back in 2001. i was wandering around the countryside with my old buddies Pliskin and Dr. B.J. Harris. it was just after nightfall when the still of the evening was disturbed by the sudden appearance of a U.F.O. we stood there stunned for a moment, basked in the alien light that shone down upon us. the last thing i remember was B.J. saying “they found us.” then there was a bright flash that knocked me unconscious. i came to the next morning in the middle of a field alone, haven’t seen Pliskin or the Doctor since.

Liquid Sound Dimensions

artificial intelligence creating patterns & textures on liquid television for our come down pleasure. a sound that enveloped us in the early nineties as the Interchill brothers (UK & France), Gnat, Twin Peetz & Wig spun out the future while we melted into couches and rolled another joint. too up to be down and too down to be up. the atmosphere when we returned after the after party to a chill out room curated by our buddy Steve (pkls 4 ever), giving us a soft place to crash land, embraced in dawn’s twilight, wasted on Coloniale.

They Call Me Sweet Daddy Rollin’ Stone

remember the good old days? way back in the early fifties when everything was wholesome and good, before rock’n’roll took over the youth and steered our country to ruin. this collection of music from the years 1951 to 1954 contains a healthy dose of rhythm & blues and country & western with a smattering of jazz, calypso & Latin sounds. i hope you enjoy these wholesome sides, feel free to use them as a buffer to the lewd & crass times we find ourselves in.
