"Knocturnal Sunshine"

After a summer and fall, the Sunshine is still bright and energetic
enabling us all to see more clearly now that the rain is gone.
To my loyal listeners and to all newcomers, Knocturnal Sunshine resumes
but not without a story attached. Well...maybe not a story but an explanation,
and far from an excuse. The facilitator of this podcast lost one of his best
friends of ten years this past July by the hands of St. Louis County Police.
This incident was devastating to say the least and tragic to make it more
plain. Yours truly has since been in deep reflection about life, death
and the deeper meaning of it all,thus void of inspiration
to do a number of things, including making a mix for you to listen to. Even though
I'm far from over it, I am slowly starting to reemerge and sort of smile again.
I don't mention this to bum anyone out,only to offer a glimpse as to my absence or
hiatus from the cyberscene. So please forgive me, although this isn't really
an apology.
This mix is a bit different than what you may be used to in the way of beatmatching
and blending,but still flows together nonetheless. I reached back into the 90's
and grabbed Wyclef in a bubblegoose and I was feeling free enough to snag Soul II
Soul while there. I went the Wrong Way with Georgia and got lost in translation
while listenin to Train. All was well though because I got it all together
after resolving my Love Issue
cuz I too am a Master Teacher, like Erykah. I stay woke.

Dedicated to the formless sage before his time,my main man, Samuel Keati Deboise a.k.a.
Shimmy. R.I.P.

While still soarin off of the abyssyllabic pair of mixes from days past,
I was reminded (by myself) that of all of the genres that I DIG, Jazz
has been my first and longest running true love. We've been acquainted
since the early 70's fusion and contemporary styles kept folks groovin,
in an unpretentious sorta way. Acts like Ronnie Laws and super vibraphonist
Bobby Hutcherson made it possible for the Tom Brownes and Nathan Haines
to simultaneously groove with free tunes that don't follow mainstream guidelines,
and don't fly over your head in rigidity or obscurity. My new love... is
Broken Beat, new school acidic jazz with drum patterns that challenge the
standards. DKD and Shuya Okino demonstrate eclecticism with ease. Dilla phones
home to Erykah while Finley falls into solitude;what a wonderful way to end the day.

enjoy

So after the one of the hottest concerts I'd ever been
to had concluded (N.E.R.D. at the Pageant), I knew that
this Sunshine ep had to reflect the depths of my collection
and to prove once and for all that I'm not a Neo-Soul deejay,
or a sock hop deejay, or a smooth one. I am in fact, a nerd,
geek and addict for groove no matter where it comes from.
Exemplified by such fine acts as Jay-Z(just in case you thought
I wouldn't, I will), N.E.R.D.(for Kenny Kinds), Bilal(screaming
obscenities with pops and skips) and the ever-gritty sound of Sharon
Jones. Nu highlights include Coultrain's Girl of his dreams, Healing
from E.Badu, a Shot of Crown on the rocks wit Jill and an acidic blast
from the past on the end from Portishead and Roy "ThirdEye" Ayers.
