The Jazzy Dugout

In this episode of the Jazzy Dugout I wanted to bring you something a little bit different. For the last year or so I've been working with a crew out of Tahoe called the Continental Soldiers. We have some new music coming out, a huge show coming up and in general, there is a ton of momentum and energy behind the Soldiers currently. I figured it was time to bring them into the dugout, talk a bit about inspirations and share some Continental Soldiers music both old and new.

For you locals, catch us at the Crocodile on 5/27 with Grayskul and Fly Moon Royalty. Details here - http://thecrocodile.com/index.html?page=calendar&event=7138539.

Fun CS clip from last summer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKLkDP_aEts

For all the rest, stay tuned to the Jazzy Dugout and I will update you on where you can find our tracks and tour info.

For now, please keep up the e-mails and keep listening. I appreciate all the support and feedback. Also, Stay tuned for my upcoming spring mix in the next couple of weeks.

And lastly, keep it funky.

DJ Phil Anthony

One of the genres of music that continues to move me is Hip Hop. From my break dancing days in the early 80's till now - as an active DJ and and band member in The Continental Soldiers I continually find inspiration in both old and new Hip Hop. Here is a list of 20 songs that I have loved over the years.

This is by no means close to a complete list but it's a start. Once again this was an on the fly mix with two 1200's and a mixer. Some vinyl and some digital but all good shit. Stay tuned for pt. 2 with The Continental Soldiers.

It's been kind of a strange week. I got a ton done at work, reconnected with some old friends, spent lots of time on music and slept really well. The strange part? I barely left the house. It's funny because I'm not a shut in or anti-social by any means. It's just that it was raining all week and honestly there wasn't really anywhere else I'd rather be - things at home are good.

If you have listened to some or all of my episodes you know I have pretty broad taste. One of the things I've been missing a lot lately is good House music. House is really where my roots as a DJ started and tonight it felt like time to go back. Not that I ever left House, I just put it in the corner and smiled at it once and awhile but failed to give it the attention it deserves. Lately I think that House thinks I forgot about it and left it for good. Seriously though, I forgot how good it feels to grab a pile of House tunes with zero planning and see where it goes.

All that said, here is nice and shiny new little impromptu House mix that you can pre-funk to all day and ideally all weekend. There is no awkward talking, everything is mixed and flows nicely and the tracks are upbeat but not too in your face. As usual feedback is appreciated. Enjoy and have a great weekend - Phil

This episode is dedicated to some of my favorite female centric funk n soul. Apologies for the poor sounding mic and especially the train wreck at 33:44 - without making excuses I will say there was major distraction happening - hopefully you don't hold it against me.

Enjoy,

Funk'n'Soul breaks progress to big room sounds flavored by electro. Doesn't hurt that I sampled Patrick Swayze (Dalton) from Road House in the beginning - RIP my man.

Another vintage house mix from 2004. Not sure where to throw this one so gonna drop in the deep pile. This mix is deep and soulful with plenty of techy chunk. Inspirations for this mix range from Marcus Wyatt to Mark Farina to Derek Carter.

My only recorded Drum n Bass mix. This was a result of a late night, one take session in The Jazzy Dugout last winter. Here you'll find some of my favorite d n b wax. This mix is smoothed out and jazzy with some classic UK soul undertones.

Some of my favorite funk n soul breaks.

Soulful and deep with plenty of vocals, this is live set from 2002 "We Love Fridays" - a house music weekly that used to go off every Friday at a place called The Corner Bar in downtown Seattle.

Project Ganas is a nonprofit that exists to benefit a small village in Costa Rica. I had the opportunity to rock this great fundraiser. This was captured during that night. This live mix is breaky, funky, housey and very Latin. For more on project ganas go here http://projectganas.org/.
