Elder Brothers? Official Podcast

Friends have asked where I have been lately. The answer to that question is quite straightforward: I slipped into a time portal and was transported back to the year 2000. As proof of this journey, I brought back a crate of records from my old collection and have compiled them into mixtape format.

Tracks compiled and mixed by Mr. A. of Elder Brothers?, inspired by the city that he moved to three weeks ago. From the chaos of ruin emerges a new creative spirit. Steam rises violently from the beneath the pavement. Grass sprouts where civilization has ceased to exist. The retro futuristic humanity trolley passes by overhead, silently sprinting forward on a single concrete rail. And amidst all of this kinetic energy, a new persona arrives on the scene — Mr. A. From his apartment overlooking the Detroit River, where strange things are known to happen, a musical journey takes place on a late summer afternoon. Detroit River Voodoo 01 :: Music Take Me Up - Mr. Fingers 02 :: Carpet People Don't Drink Steak Soda - Theo Parrish 03 :: 1960 What?

First off, a big congratulations go out to Matt and Morgan on their recent engagement! Inspired by his profound love, Matt delivers a deep house experience worthy of your springtime sunshine listening. Enjoy!

Amidst the swirling stresses of our modern reality, we must all look inward to the deep dark places that can relieve our outer anxieties. You must release yourself. As my good friend and hypnotist Lorenzo once said, "the deeper you go, the better it feels."

Since the dawn of man, our mortality has been inescapable and at the same time unjust. The warm months have come to a close but there is no end to the NBA lockout. Heavy D no longer walks among us yet we still have 35 Kardashians invading our lives. It's All Over! 01 :: Amame (Long Ass Mix) - Intruder feat. Jei (A Murk Production) 02 :: Tell You (Original Mix) - Adam Port 03 :: Mama Calling (Tedd Patterson Remix) - Kiko Navarro feat.

Ali Love

A mix of deep tracks from Matt's crates. Drums, drums, drums and sweaty walls. And a whiff of baby powder. Explosion Robinson Presents: I Don't Feel Anything 01 :: 100 Zulu Warriors (Culoe de Song Instrumental) - 100 Zulu Warriors & Roland Clark 02 :: Traveling (Main Mix) - Rancido 03 :: Airbase - Rivani 04 :: Vega 3 - Little Louie Vega 05 :: Spook - Rivani 06 :: Drums of Auyula (Joeski Spiritual Mix) - Benjil Candelario pres.

Let us pause to pay homage to one of the great disco vocalists of all time. With the recent passing of Loleatta Holloway, dance music has lost another brave voice to father time. In this mix, Ben takes Ellis D's unauthorized pressing of Loleatta's epic spoken word riff from Better Days, one of NYC's finest disco venues from the late 70's, and lays it over a 112 minute mixtape that combines some classic house jams with new cuts from the crates. The spirit remains.

Part 2 of this series takes us into the depths of New York nightlife in the early 90's, when clubs like the original Sound Factory, the Palladium and Red Zone were the breeding grounds for new forms of dance music. What was most striking about this era was the unique blend of mainstream artists with underground house remixes, resulting in accessible yet innovative grooves and hooks. Unlike the dance music of today, the tracks were actual fully developed "songs" rather than snippets of usable material, and their ability to remain fresh 20 years on is truly a testament to the quality of their productions.

My fondest memories from my childhood are from this era. I'm lying on the green carpet in my bedroom on a sunny Saturday morning. The windows are open, the spinning fan is blowing cool air on my face, and the radio is tuned to WZOU. The smell of fresh cut grass and sounds of Kym Syms surround me on this seemingly endless spring day.
