Hotmixes: April 2013 Week 1

So, due to the fact that i've been listening to so many mixes lately, i've decided to make separate posts for the mixes and regular albums I listen to each week, so that people that only want to read about one or the other can do so, and there is no confusion as to what type of release something is.

Paul Pre & Mo Delicious - "Wafflefries #2" 2013
This one definitely gets me moving. Very motivational. Check it out here.

Adam Kvasnica - "Swedish Jazz" 2013
I recently discovered this dude on Mixcloud and i'm really impressed with how often he posts new mixes, and how overall tight they all are. He seems to have a mix for every style of jazz out there, and it becomes educational as well as enjoyable. Give a listen here.

Adam Kvasnica - "Wicked Jazz Sounds" 2013
This is probably my favorite mix by him that i've heard so far. Check it out.

Adam Kvasnica - "Jazz & Soul Sampling In Hip Hop" 2012
This mix is obviously right up my alley and actually is making me contemplate starting a series similar to this myself. The only misstep was using a song by The Roots that sampled Al Hirt, instead of the De La Soul song that everybody associates with that sample, but really, who cares? This is a bunch of awesome songs.

Adam Kvasnica - "Diggin Yugoslavia" 2013
This mix is surprisingly good. I guess I don't really know anything about Yugoslavian music history. Check it out.

Cathleen John - "Alium Diem" 2013
It's always a dope journey..... Listen Here.

DJ Shadow - "All Basses Covered (The Infamous South Beach Set)" 2012
In case you hadn't heard about it, during December of last year, DJ Shadow was booked to play a show at a club in Miami, and then had the club owners ask him to leave 1/4 of the way into his set because he was "too future" for the crowd. I don't even know exactly what that means, or what they were expecting from him in the first place, because this set is EXACTLY what a DJ set should sound like in this current era. It's cool that he put this out there in the world for people to judge for themselves and download for free as well. Have a listen and judge for yourself.

Nowy - "VentolinSphere Vol. 2" 2013
This is a superb mix. More or less exactly what I want to hear. Check it out.

Lex Maestracci - "You Complextro" 2013
This mix is actually a little too poppy for my taste, but it's put together well, and is very upbeat, and I know a lot of people who will love this mix. Give it a try.

Hugo Trottier - "Mix Session #18: March Hip Soul Funk Selection" 2013
A decent mix of stuff ranging from Andreya Triana to Brother Ali. I like the variety. Check it out.
