Latesummer’s Vibe — mix by Jan Woo by Vibes Management

new mix from the masterful guru jan woo who by now has officially earned the love and respect, if not “favorite dj” status, of every local music head i know. a janny jam is one to hold close to your heart. it will never let you down.

equally great even better is this classic jan mix: dj xtravaganza

axel boman – purple drank (original mix)

thank you simian mobile disco for introducing this to me, and for jamie xx for the reminder. deep german groove punctuated by some well-timed, forceful smacks to the face. perfect. spend some time with jamie xx, too….

boylan tekz aug 2011 ftwk by boylan

boylan was generous enough to give us this listen to what’s been going on inside ghettoteckz headquarters as of late, with first listens to tracks that are less than a month since conception. new rashad collab “gettin it” achieves levels of bassquake far beyond what most producers would consider acceptable. hope you’ve got subs.

tracklist [favs in bold:]

dJ spinn – addicted
dJ manny - still playing
boylan – OMM (tekz everyday)
dJ Spinn – jealousy
traxman – get dem niggaz of my shit
dj spinn – 187 trax
dj manny – my click
boylan and dj rashad – gettin it
dj rashad – undisputed
dj spinnn – winnin
dj rashad – ghetto tek musik
dj manny – lap dance
boylan manny rashad – drinkin

this new mix from earl collects his favorite traxman cuts. not necessarily all new, but packed with surprisingly beauty-full delights.

dj diamond’s new lp flight muzik is the first we’ve heard from him since his stunningly bizarre entries on the bangs & works comp, and this one lives up in its next-level, mortal kombat weirdness:

dj diamond – torture rack

–

dj phil & dj earl – good

new dj phil ep out now on ghettophiles

–

brooklyn’s slava had us pretty gobsmacked when he entered juke territory in a recent live set. i think the chicago cats would be proud:

slava – florida

E3 by Dj Avery-76

Deep summer cuts coming thru in this edition of Embedded Grüv. Been obsessing over this Model 500 Starlight Remix EP lately. Spent a lot of time digging into these grooves late night, in bed, glow of the laptop screen illuminating the room. The liner notes are quite telling…Recorded at Love Park Studios (berlin)….Engineer: Moritz von Oswald….Published by Deep Space Music….Pretty much sums it up

Recently headed out west to California and took in the Woodsist fest at Big Sur. Good times nestled neath massive redwoods and awe-inspiring coastal cliffs, and while the show was good, the undoubted champion of the weekend was the DJ who played this cover of “Like a Rolling Stone” by Spirit. The guitar sound still has me in a stupor. Shout out @decantler for asking the DJ what the tune was.
