This mix began as a blend of instrumentals. After I’d selected the 9th Wonder instrumental reworking of Vicki Anderson’s Stop on By and Babu’s refixing of Dionne Warwick’s You’re Gonna Need Me, I decided to go another route. Both of the originals have powerful female vocals which immediately put me in the mind of Northen Soul. Leela James and Georgia Anne Muldrow (1/2 of G&D) are current artists that I could easily see handling the reigns after Sharon Jones releases them. Strong drums, pianos and horns throughout and spacy at times, this mix is a 30 minute treat for the discerning listener. Enjoy!

AlteredBeats is a breath of fresh air on the mix scene. It has the perfect blend of throwback Soul, a dash of HipHop, new NeoSoul and classic Reggae. Since the download it hasn’t been ejected from my cd player. I see big things for this dude and his cArtoon loops…
