Recorded live, spiritualized and super-sized by dj dAz for SoundslikeUmoja music. Wow! What’s to be said about this life we live other than if you work hard and treat people right, it’ll pay off in ways one could never imagine. About 15 years ago I recorded my first ever mix tape (yes, cassette) of rare groove songs called “The Stoned Soul Picnic”. I loved it, people loved, and even DJ’s like “Little” Louie Vega ad Kenny Dope from Masters @ Work and singer Macy Gray gave me props for it. I don’t have that cassette or even that mix anymore. I can tell you that if I was to record that mix again, it’d sound a lot like this mix you are hearing, except for my skills got a little better since then. Dedicating this mix to all the little people in my life… My nephew’s Finn and Charlie Blackburn, My God-daughter Tiger Mollison, James, Jules, Magritte, Zowen, Henry, Francis, Jack, Christian, Buster, Eleven, Zuriel, Genesis, & Naserith.

Mixed and recorded live (no edits, no over-dubs, no pro-tools, recorded in one take) by dj dAz for Sounds Of Umoja productions. The music in this mix has been rolling around in my head for many months, even years, and possibly decades. The ability to understand the similarities between jazz of the past and modern hip hop has always been something to drive my art. Even in my early days as a young yout’, jazz music was always playing in my house, classic movies were always on the t.v., and whenever I’d get home from school, there would always be an energy of welcomeness and calm like you had arrived. As I grew up and started to become influenced by hip hop in the eighties and nineties it just became a natural progression to be influenced by the very hip hop artists that used samples from their pop’s record collection for their own sound. Dad listened to Oscar Peterson, I listened to A Tribe Called Quest. Dad listened to Cab Calloway, I listened to Big Daddy Kane. So, with that being said; Big Up Pop’s, Mom’s, and family. I dedicate this to everyone, but my influences for this mix comes from the movies “The Jungle Book”, and Bob Hope and Bing Crosby’s “Road To Zanzibar”, as well as the very artists who are featured in this mix. Bless Up!

Umoja (meaning Unity in Swahili, is one of the Seven days of Kwanzaa), and with over fifteen years together as a collective, we thought it was only right to offer this music as a gift!. Check us out @ http://umojahifi.podomatic.com/
Wow. How to explain the beauty I maintain, with the love around and for the love of sound, this mix is dedicated first and foremost to UMOJA Hi Fi… no lie, always inspiring me to challenge my left and right ear and represent this thing here… we call it life!
