If this isn't dropped by your New Years Eve party DJ then you gotta ask why?
Well it`s been a while in the can and now its finally here...Vol.6 of our rocking little dubby mix series, with this volume we are weaving our way thru the ruff & rugged sounds of the Shinehead, Pinch with ruddy lee, Cotti feat the vocals of Kingpin, Prince Dub I on the housey tip, the skreamer kid bringing the sushi, the mighty king tubby, junior reid and dropping out with mr. vegas & jovi rockwell vocals for Major Lazer.....Jah bless....enjoy!
A great limited 12" just right for the xmas party season is from Tom Noble reknown disco/soul/funk/j-pop re-editer. This tight little track is brought to us by the Peoples Potential Unlimited record label, containing two great edits. Apparently its an unreleased record by obscure mexican group called "Grupo Santa Cecilia"...wicked!
Another great guest mix this time from Musician/DJ/Teacher Soulspy Aka Max Schneider from uberkool Berlin. As well as producing music solo he also produces as one half of SoulPatrol in collaboration with Dj Michael Rutten releasing tracks on INFRACom & Compost records in Germany as well as providing music for the Nippon connection film festival.
National holiday today here in Nippon and i`m feeling rather chilled and this just popped up in my musical subconscious. Written & Produced by Mark Pritchard & Tom Middleton AKA Global Communication, Link, E621, Reload, Secret Ingredients & Chameleon. "Maiden Voyage ep", released in `94 on the now de-funkted "Dedicated" label.
Here`s a recent mytea@om mixtape to share courtesy of a lovely young friend and a sweetheart to boot Sayuri-chan....I made this up for her birthday and she has kindly given me permission to post it up for all of you guys & gals....so go on, indulge yourself in a little (winter or summer as the case may be) boogie around the house. Starting off with some percussive beats, gently into the dubby techno, thru the deep house and exiting with jazz..

Over the next few weeks we will have some great new mixes to load up for your listening pleasure. A proper old jazz/funk masterpiece from Berlin/Germany, a sonic chilltastic mix from the don of ethnic electronic soundscapes Dj Pathaan , a brand new deep dubby tech-house mix and Vol.6 of the TWOTD series both from mytea@om HQ.
In a vintage soundtrack studio somewhere in Paris previously inhabited by the likes of Nina Simone and Serge Gainsbourg and many others.
1 boat, 8 dj's with no morals, a comedy about an illegal radio station in the North Sea in the 1960's...with the excellent Philip Seymour Hoffman , very funny....enjoy!
Another little break taken here at mytea@om, many things had to be organised before the long winter hibernation that is life here in these northern climes of Nippon...Also its good to take a back seat once in a while and evaluate everything with fresh enthusiasm...Hope you all didn"t miss it too much!
As we move into that falling leaves time of year (well for some of us anyway) and today being my beautiful wife`s birthday, this post is dedicated to her. 
After a little interruption in space & time, we`re back in the groove.
The second choice porky prime cut this week and a second track from Connaisseur, is from Pol_On, called the "Omorp EP", on Outils Du Connaisseur. Pol_On are a project by Warsaw keyboard player DJ Mike P and Katowice Academy Of Jazz graduate and respected Jazz musician Kacper Bogacz. Their musical spectrum is present and wide, but always digs in and nods to the past. "After The Party" demonstrates Pol_On’s musical talent best. A smooth and timeless Jazzy House-cut with faultless live instrumentation. Once you hear the sax, it will stay in your head for ages…Double niceeee!!

No not an exclusive for mytea@om, that would be nice! maybe one day who knows...The Man himself chatting `bout himself as always....enjoy!
No it`s not the number of goals that an opposing team will score against my beloved football club later today, but a cracking tune from 1972 given a well deserved re-press by Atlantic in 2004. "getting uptown (to get down)" is the kind of tune that you just can`t keep still when the ole plug-holes hear these vibes. With the shakers, tambourine, horns, guitar, drums all mashing together in one fine damn funky groove....enjoy!
As we`ve reached the 8th anniversary of the 21st century’s most defining event so far, something to ponder from a couple of years ago but still relevent today.The Elephant in the Room is a documentary following British filmmaker Dean Puckett through his journey into the 9/11 Truth Movement: a global movement of ‘alternative thinkers’ who believe that the official explanation about what happened on 9/11 is totally or partially inaccurate.
(The majority of the 9/11 Commission members have now publicly gone on record to express their conviction that the Bush government agreed to lie about the official story.)
The filmmakers travel from middle England, across Europe and to New York for the six year anniversary of the attacks, where the film takes one final twist as we are introduced to the 9/11 first responders who are suffering from various grave health difficulties due to the toxic dust that they breathed in trying to help their country during the weeks after this tragic event.
Told with a personal hands on approach that avoids advancing any one position, the film asks the question: are these crazy conspiracy thinkers? Or is 9/11 Truth a credible political movement?
You decide!!
Something nice and minimal i will be dropping at new party starting this saturday nite called "DubNomAdic", where i get to play a 4 hour set spanning all genres of dubby music. Hopefully if all goes well, could be a regular monthly event,...nice!
So it`s holiday season and what better way to while away the hours of rest & relaxation or partying on a beach somewhere to my August mixtape. A straight up deep & funky house mix....Enjoy!
So here we are at the 05 installment of The TWOTD skanking sessions, it continues starting and finishing with the angelic tones of the Iration Steppas & Loop Guru and mixing it up with some Rhythm & Sound deepness, Digital Mystikz dubstep, Jah Warrior`s horns, Ranking Joe, ZionTrain hailing the selectors , a Sleng Teng Riddem & the man like Gregory.
