Dropping some essential weekend listening for your ears. Starting with a brand new mix from Sodie (Baltimore/Salt Lake).  Happy listening!

RECOLLECT

This is an absolute must listen.  For a while now, XLR8R has been producing City Guide podcasts by various talented DJs and producers in different cities around the country.  They recently posted one from Boston nightlife impressarios Soul Clap.  Their set, especially after hearing the other city mixes, is a fitting tribute to the bean and how we get it done. Though all the mixes are great in their own right, definitely have to shout out the Philly mix from DJ/Producers Starkey and Dev79.  Splitting time on the decks to deliver a mix worthy of holding it down for the entire Keystone state.
