In March I made a 30 minute mix for a DJ contest. The prize was a DJ slot at a festival in Croatia! I was a finalist, but alas, not the winner.

The Blue Room on BBC Radio 1, with Chris Coco and Rob Da Bank, was my favorite radio show in the mid-2000s. Chris’ Melodica show is a current favorite. So, yes, I’d love to play a set opening for Chris, at an August sunshine party, on the Dalmatian coast, on a boat!

About the music: “Beautiful Otherness” is one of the many classic tunes I first heard on The Blue Room. Legends Donny Hathaway, Kenny Burrell, and Stanley Turrentine bring the retro summertime vibes, while Sun Airway from my hometown of Philadelphia provides some hazy 21st century bliss. Beats from Ontario, Buenos Aires via Barcelona, and Paris complete the global picture (that’s Junior Boys, Natalia Clavier, and Caro & Garcia respectively).

1. Junior Boys – The animator
2. Bent with Jon Marsh – Beautiful otherness
3. Kenny Burrell with Stanley Turrentine – Chitlins con carne
4. Natalia Clavier – Tiempo
5. Mlle. Caro & Franck Garcia – The first time
6. Sun Airway – Your moon
7. Donny Hathaway – Love, love, love
