This is something I meant to mention a while back too but forgot. I came across the excellent Monday Jazz radio show/podcast a little while back and haven’t looked back.
Every Monday these guys put out a new mix from worldwide producers and DJs, and their archive (already about 60 shows deep) is seriously heavy. I’m once more late to the party as these guys have featured people from the extended Rhythm Incursions family like Dday and Joey Beats, and 2tall pointed out to me that I was, well late to the party.
Seriously though I can’t recommend them enough, and if like me you didn’t know about it than the archive is a great place to start because there is a lot to get through from the likes of the aforementioned Dday One and Joey Beats as well as A La Fu, Circulations, Cinnaman, Fulgeance, 00Genesis, Jay Scarlett, and many more.
Don’t let the name fool you either, it’s not like a Jazz ting per se, it’s more like an open minded hip hop thing, from jazz to broken beat, soul to dub, funk to the new generation of beats I’ve been talking about extensively. I’ve now downloaded about 10 or 12 mixes, and I haven’t yet found one that wasn’t a thoroughly enjoyable listen from start to finish, and quite a few have provided me with trips down memory lane or pleasant surprises thanks to really eclectic selections.
Monday is about 3 hours away, and so when the blues hits you tomorrow morning just click through to the site and let the music sooth the pain. Considering the guys running this seemed to be based in Vilnius as well, it’s all the more impressive to see how they’ve brought together such a worldwide and eclectic selection of music selectors.
good post — been enjoying Mondayjazz for a year or so now…. speaking of 2tall – there’s a new mix from him up on the rhythm incursion site…

peace.
Ha ha yeah I posted that mate, I’m an admin on the Rhythm Incursions site and I co-present some of the shows! That mix is sweet glad you enjoy it, look out for 2tall’s new stuff it’s gonna be good.
ah good one then! I didn’t realize….
peace.
What you didn’t notice any similarities between the different sites?
Lo – wouldn’t it be nice to have a master site where we could all keep up with new posts in one place? Each presenter could have their own sections of the site and who knows, maybe the collective could be extended even further…
ha ha yeah well we found our template
I know what you’re saying about a master site but we made a conscious decision when we did the redesigns to stick with similar designs (but different colour schemes) so ppl would know it’s all one extended family/network of stuff. It’s true that one site would make it easier to update and keep track, but it also reduces the impact of each if you know what i mean. plus some people come for one thing not another.
furry muff. Though I reckon there’s an argument to say that seeing everybodys efforts come together would have an impact of its own, just from the sheer wealth of content. I guess that with the new sites being so new (and they are quite nice btw) it’s pretty far removed from your agendas, but you said that you wanted to ppl to know it’s all one family, well Megatrip here hadn’t a clue, and I’d bet a lot of other first-time clickers wouldn’t either…
