Between freaking out over chatty voiceovers, RSS feeds imploding into themselves, and the usual workday complaints, this show felt like more of a beast to put together than it should have. Even so, I think it's a killer playlist this time around and the more I hear it, the more I dig it. Certainly hope that you feel the same when all is said and done.

Things kick off with the latest from Shawn Lee before settling into a nice midtempo strut with Hint remixing Flevans. Dego & Akwasi turn in a lovely remix of Ty's "Emotions" and I get to rep for the Budabeats netlabel again (hadn't played anything from them in a while) with a serious mover from Klitbeats. The cut from The Carps comes courtesy of Afro- Punk Vol. 2 and definitely wins for the best song title for this episode, hands down.

I tried to hold off on playing Jed and Lucia, but "The Park" has become a constant rewind tune for me in a very short period of time. I finally start rocking some tunes from Cyber PR and give Luke Parkin some star time, then follow up with my brother that's been down with Camp Lo-Fi from day one, The Hired Gun. The Funk League keeps the shoulders rocking with "The Boogie Down Bombers," featuring live lyrics from Diamond D and Sadat X. The Cross Country Collective (C3) adds a little "contempojazzsoulhop" to the mix before Mark Ronson throws down the gauntlet with "Bang Bang Bang." Both Q-Tip and MNDR sound great on this and it's one of my absolute favorite songs right now.

Set no. 3 begins with new material from Christopher Willits, sun-drenched experimental electronics that make a path for Friends Or Whatever to click-clack upon. Special shout out to the good people at AheadPR: the cuts from Atjazz and Comfort Fit are courtesy of them. Consider AheadPR the new sonic dope supplier around these parts. Then there's the aptly titled "Heaven" by Matthew Larkin Cassell. Just think: if Madlib hadn't sampled this for that Madvillain remix album, we wouldn't have Cassell's Complete Works on Stones Throw right now. It's nice when the sample clearance thing actually turns out to be a win-win situation for all parties involved. Doesn't happen like that often.

Agape's "She Really Likes It" is another one of those songs on constant rewind in my MP3 player...so much fun. Things slow down after that with seductive selections from Washed Out, 7 Day Visa (Anji Bee's vocals are straight up sizzling on this one), and (gasp!) the Nu Shooz Orchestra, revisiting their biggest hit in a wonderfully mature fashion. We head on home with the S.S.O. Orchestra, a Belgian band that only made one album but managed to get lifted by Diamond D and Busta Rhymes for one song: "Faded Lady." God bless the crate diggers for sharing this one with the masses. And here's hoping that you share this show with the music fiends in your life. Regards and respect...
