Propercast Episode 19: Bastard Jazz Beers & Bikes Edition

This was a mix put together by the Captain and I one hot June afternoon for WPRI in Upstate NY to promote a gig we were heading up there to do on the weekend. It was conceived at a steady 13mph clip around the outer loop of Prospect Park, and we executed it that evening over Coronas and big boy Tiger Beers at the Captain's crib in Flatbush...hence the name of the mix. ... read more (track list)

Propercast: Clubcast #2

This is an interesting mix and I'm actually pretty happy with how it played out. The need to work around the places dinner clientele got a curve ball with a *very* late seating.

Properly Chilled DJ Session at Quintessence, Albany (Oct. 17, 2009)

This is a (re-enacted) live mix of Properly Chilled's opening set at Lounge @ Quintessence on Saturday, October 17th 2009. Quintessence is located in Albany, NY. It was tough to gain the full trust of the dancing crowd this night, but by the end, everyone on the packed floor was feeling the heavy, house, afro and Latin rhythms and creating the kind of super-positive vibe that the Lounge @ Quintessence nights are becoming known for. One thing missing from this recording is the live percussion...don't miss the next night so you can experience that crucial element (tune to http://www.selectrhythms.com for news). ... read more (track list)
