Mr. Brown @ Purdy Lounge

Well, 2009’s must be the summer of people getting shit done, because I’m sitting here with not one but two new mixes from original B&C lord of the decks, one of the hosts of Miami’s weekly Champion Sound party, perpetually crate-digging ambassador to Miami’s music scene, and all around lazy motherfucker, Mr. Brown. The guy who spends so much time in dusty back rooms of record shops and old ladies attics in the ghetto, that it’s fucking impossible to ever get him to sit down long enough to record any of the crazy shit he’s finding. But occassionally the stars and planets aline, unseen forces in the universe shift, music is in the air, and maybe with a girl to impress (or something) Brown gets down to some serious mixing.

First, a nice little set of hip-hop, funk, soul, reggae and breaks, the perfect soundtrack for a sweaty August day. A few different styles, some turntable trickery and nice blends, make sure you cop this mix and by the time you’ve digested it I’ll be back up with another set from Brown, and some additional goodness from former-305 lord of the dance (and now perpetual world traveler) DJ Tre Swift, and maybe a few other things that might make the heat a little more bearable. Update them bookmarks people, we’ll be keeping it up like this all summer long. For now, settle into a nice groove with Mr. Brown and his untitled August set.
