REMIXD

REMIXD Bossa

Fantastic Brazilian-themed remixes and covers that'll take you back to Carnival in Rio, or Bahia where you'll be drinking strong caipirinhas and cheering on the local football side. 

Covid Relief

Even though the 'Covid Experience' is behind many of us, the memory of it will linger forever. These soothing, funky, chill, relaxing and danceable grooves will inspire us all to remain forever diligent.

ROM sample mix

Starting with a new groove from DJ Jazzy Jeff, this set includes soulful house, Brazilian and Nu Jazz grooves. 

Episode 1: Best of 2021 - Prayers for Owen

Welcome to my annual 'Best of' podcast. As the  Covid-19 pandemic eases here in Ontario, life is almost back to normal. For those of us who are double-vaxxed, everything is open to us, but many others stubbornly refuse to get the jab, which means the disease retains a foothold in many cities worldwide. And now that clubs and restaurants here are open to 100% capacity, DJs are returning back to work and producers are creating quality grooves. Toronto's Sarah Daye (who now lives in...

Episode 2: DJ Jude's Inoculation Mix

Well, it's been more than a year and COVID-19 is still raging across many global cities, including here in Toronto, Canada, but more and more people are getting the COVID-19 vaccination so soon (fingers crossed!) things will be back to normal and we can resume our normal routines - dining out, hugging family/friends, going to concerts, theatre, sporting events, playing recreation sports etc. I expect this summer will be better than last summer as we slowly reach herd immunity. But until w...

Episode 4: Holiday Grooves 2020

Season's greetings and Merry Christmas to all. Here's my annual Holiday Grooves mix for you to enjoy. Download. Stream. Share.

Episode 3: Best of 2020

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues its steely grip everywhere on the planet, we're left to ponder what was essentially a lost year for many of us. Those of us fortunate to still have a job and earn a paycheck, are left wondering what might have been. Lost dreams, shattered hopes, delayed opportunities combined with severe limitations on our personal freedoms will leave 2020 as the 'year that got away.' Musically, I was not inspired to do much as DJ gigs evaporated, along with house parties...

COVID-19 Lofi/Jazzhop mix

This mix is dedicated to everyone as we battle the greatest threat our generation has ever faced - the coronavirus aka Covid-19. As the virus gains strength and afflicts millions of people worldwide, who would've thought that a few short weeks ago (from a North American perspective) we'd all be living through an actual Hollywood-type horror experience? You know the plot: bad guy/terrorist group/incompetent employee releases a virus that kills or mutates local residents and then deliberate...

Family Day - Sun in the Sky mix

It's Family Day here in Ontario, which is a statutory holiday for those who work in the public service - like me. And what better way to celebrate family than to create a music mix?! This set celebrates families and the sun - two powerful forces that all of us enjoy, endure, suffer or praise most days. Spend time with your family. I love mine. Love yours too. Respect the sun. As always, share, stream & download this mix widely. Your tax dollars are being used wisely. 1. Shine 2. Mornin...

Best of 2019

Happy New Year and I trust that 2019 ended favorably and that 2020 is off to a great start for everyone. As is my custom, here's my favourite songs of 2019. You'll find the usual suspects here - nu soul, Brazilian and old school remixes - but a couple new friends have joined them. For the first time, I've included a soca track and a song from a new genre that I'm loving more every day - Lo-Fi - which is a type of short, mainly instrumental groove with influences from jazz & hip-hop. Mos...

Summer 2019

Finally, the warm weather in Toronto arrived -- on the heels of an amazing, incredible Toronto Raptors NBA championship. It's strange that as long as your favourite team is winning, lousy weather doesn't seem so, well, lousy, right?. And now that summer is officially here, congrats to the Toronto Raptors, their fans and supporters across the globe. I wish Kawhi Leonard best of luck with the Clippers. This mix is dedicated to my favourite season, and is a mainly uptempo blend of soul-soak...

Memories of the Old School

It's no secret that I love of the late 70s/early 80s. My sweet spot musically, is when soul, jazz, disco and funk co-existed beautifully between 1978-1985, each genre cross-pollinating each other with wonderful results. Some of my favourite bands recorded during this lofty period and put out some impressive tracks, some which are featured - albeit modified - in this set. Kudos to the DJs & producers for putting new, innovative twists on great music of the past. As always, download, stre...

Viking Grooves - Sweet soul & nu jazz from Scandinavia

I’ve always been impressed with the jazzy sounds coming from Scandinavia and Finland. The countries of Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland have produced some outstanding jazz in recent years, and in the last decade or so, some great soul, too. This set pays homage to some of my favourite Nordic artists, while giving a tip of the hat to a new generation of musicians/singers who are moving the soul yardsticks forward. Represent!
