   Mile high jazz

   After a long break from podcasting due to a 6 month trip to South America I'm back with a nice deeply grooved out jazz mixtape I laid down in my last weeks in the UK. It may be a few weeks before my next mix is up here, not least because one of my turntables was badly injured when moving out and...

   Light and shade mix

   This is a mix I put down on the fly hence the lack of generic coherence! It moves from latin rock to Ethiopian jazz, then on to samba to Nordic electro before finishing with an incredibly uplifting spiritual jazz piece. It was shaped by some sad events from earlier this year (I only just put it...

   Rollerboogiebeats

   The first tune is all about putting on those rollerskates and getting on down into the weekend, so that's why I called the mix rollerboogiebeats. I often wish the records they played at Colchester Rollerworld were a bit more like this since I spent a lot of time there as a kid, but Essex in the…

   Summer Samba

   Get yourself a mojito, get out in the sunshine and put this on your stereo. A nice, lively, soulful mix of some of my favourite samba and other Brazilian flavours. Like this? Pay a visit to DJ Vivo's excellent podcast at www.podomatic.com/brazilianbeatz Aquele Abraco - Gilberto Gil (Abril…

   Night Owl Music

   This one's def for the night owls... A deep, bleepy and bouncy mix taking in African drums, jazzy Japanese piano, Nordic screams and even an extended marimba workout (yeah!) Think house, broken beat and nu-jazz with twists, turns and trips. This was originally out through Different Class Radio...

   Stick 'em up monkey mix

   This monkey actually turned up at a party to help me get the vibe going. Luckily this mix of funk, latin, broken beats and discofied house did the job, so he just got his thang on instead. The MJ mix is a bit of a marmite tune, but normally keeps the heads noddin'. Let me know what you think on...

   Chasing Stars

   Somehow the theme of stars and space came together by chance on this one. Makes for good listening walking in my neighbourhood and looking up to spot constellations through the London smog, so hope you enjoy this selection. Remember to shout me @therealedbig on Twitter or email...
