Elder Brothers? Official Podcast

Friends have asked where I have been lately. The answer to that question is quite straightforward: I slipped into a time portal and was transported back to the year 2000. As proof of this journey, I brought back a crate of records from my old collection and have compiled them into mixtape format.

Tracks compiled and mixed by Mr. A. of Elder Brothers?, inspired by the city that he moved to three weeks ago. From the chaos of ruin emerges a new creative spirit. Steam rises violently from the beneath the pavement. Grass sprouts where civilization has ceased to exist. The retro futuristic humanity trolley passes by overhead, silently sprinting forward on a single concrete rail. And amidst all of this kinetic energy, a new persona arrives on the scene — Mr. A. From his apartment overlooking the Detroit River, where strange things are known to happen, a musical journey takes place on a late summer afternoon.

First off, a big congratulations go out to Matt and Morgan on their recent engagement! Inspired by his profound love, Matt delivers a deep house experience worthy of your springtime sunshine listening. Enjoy!

Amidst the swirling stresses of our modern reality, we must all look inward to the deep dark places that can relieve our outer anxieties. You must release yourself. As my good friend and hypnotist Lorenzo once said, "the deeper you go, the better it feels."

Since the dawn of man, our mortality has been inescapable and at the same time unjust. The warm months have come to a close but there is no end to the NBA lockout. Heavy D no longer walks among us yet we still have 35 Kardashians invading our lives. It's All Over! 01 :: Amame (Long Ass Mix) - Intruder feat.

Let us pause to pay homage to one of the great disco vocalists of all time. With the recent passing of Loleatta Holloway, dance music has lost another brave voice to father time. In this mix, Ben takes Ellis D's unauthorized pressing of Loleatta's epic spoken word riff from Better Days, one of NYC's finest disco venues from the late 70's, and lays it over a 112 minute mixtape that combines some classic house jams with new cuts from the crates. The spirit remains.

Part 2 of this series takes us into the depths of New York nightlife in the early 90's, when clubs like the original Sound Factory, the Palladium and Red Zone were the breeding grounds for new forms of dance music. What was most striking about this era was the unique blend of mainstream artists with underground house remixes, resulting in accessible yet innovative grooves and hooks. Unlike the dance music of today, the tracks were actual fully developed "songs" rather than snippets of usable material, and their ability to remain fresh 20 years on is truly a testament to the quality of their productions. Back to the 90's - Pt. 2 01 :: Yesterday & Today - Danny Tenaglia 02 :: Feel Like Singin' (Erotica Mix by David Morales) - Sandy B. 03 :: Vibeology (Hurley's House Mix) - Paula Abdul 04 :: Sweat (Sweat The Club) - Jay Williams 05 :: I'm The One You Need (Extended Club Version) - Jody Watley 06 :: Women In Love (Women In Lust Mix by David Shaw) - TMT 07 :: Don't You Want My Love (Street Style) - Jomanda 08 :: A

My fondest memories from my childhood are from this era. I'm lying on the green carpet in my bedroom on a sunny Saturday morning. The windows are open, the spinning fan is blowing cool air on my face, and the radio is tuned to WZOU. The smell of fresh cut grass and sounds of Kym Syms surround me on this seemingly endless spring day. Back to the 90's - Pt. 1 01 :: Tom's Diner (Acapella) — DNA featuring Suzanne Vega 02 :: Round and Round (The House by Junior Vasquez) — Tevin Campbell 03 :: Back To Life (Club Mix) - Soul II Soul 04 :: Buffalo Stance (12" Mix) - Neneh Cherry 05 :: Unbelievable (House Mix) - EMF 06 :: Fool's Gold - The Stone Roses 07 :: Buckwheat The Rebel (Power Mix by Steve "Silk" Hurley) — Unity 2 08 :: Killer - Adamski feat.
