This mix right here is a nod to one of my favorite clubs/bars/lounges in Brooklyn, Bembe, and their weekly Sunday “Body Music” party. Hosted by resident DJs Jesse Mann and the good Reverend Soul, Body Music hosts live music by some of Brooklyn’s finest funk and afrobeat bands with some seriously dope DJ sets before, during, and after the show. Holding down boogie, latin, disco, house, African business, and anything else that sounds good, in short these guys play the brilliant sort of mix of tunes I go out at night looking to hear. Couple it with one of the most chill, welcoming, home-away-from-home spots you’ll ever find yourself at (with some seriously fine, and totally reasonably priced drinks) and you’ve got yourself a real party. Check out this demo mix from Jesse Mann and do your best not to listen to it too many times over (I know, it’s hard)… you’ll wear out the tracks.
You can check the playlist here on Jesse’s site, along with a big list of other mixes you probably need to hear, or just come to Body Music at Bembe and catch the good vibe for yourself.
(Side Note: How many of us have that same bright blue needle case? I see more of those around town than Streisand records in a thrift shops…)
