Last week I had the pleasure of spinning with the Robotique crew in Philadelphia. We did a special night dedicated to Dave Mancuso‘s Loft parties in NYC. This really meant a lot to me because I was a “Lofter” in the late 80s. We use to trek up to NYC to lose ourselves in the music and an atmosphere which eventually became historic nights. This was the blueprint of my dj career.
While preparing for the special dedication, I pulled out some beautiful vinyl pieces from my library. I wanted to play things that were featured there, things I would have selected if I had played the Loft – and also sounds that may really work there today.
In this podcast you will find rare gems like Eberhard Schoener w/ The Police (before they blew up), Get the Balance Right (dub mix) by Depeche Mode and new tidbits like Maurice Fulton‘s mix of Woofy. Enjoy these tunes as much as I have over the years!

Hot right….didnt want to do a tracklist as I feel it takes away from the excitement. If people see tracklists, they already have a preconceived idea going in….
sorry guys…..just enjoy…..

Would be nice if this was an actual podcast with an RSS feed so that I can actually subscribe to the podcast like a real podcast and not just a page with a play button. Where is the RSS feed?
working on it! for now you can go to the podcasts page, subscribe to the blog, or get the podcasts emailed to you by joining the mailing list using the button in the footer of any page on the site.

Can’t have preconceived ideas about songs you don’t already know…
Respect and gratitude!
Amazing.

Great loft dedication mix KB. Come spin a loft dedication in Boston. I’m trying to get a track id for the second track. starts at about 5.49 into mix.

I think if it was a mix by Dave Mancuso, DJ John Hall (ex Save The Robots, and more…), Bryan Wright (Automagic, …) or DJ Cosmo (Colleen Murphy) who had made this podcast, including myself, the playlist wouldn’t have been disclosed.
Maybe providing won’t refrain p2p downloads but it would also exite a few to aquire the original release and come on in the information age why hidding?
I don’t say it’s his culpa her but now wonder: does King Britt place stickers over his vinyl labels?
Anyway thanks for the podcast now some friend in Denmark contacted me to know what is what playing…!
^^^ correction: undisclosed
FIYA, bru!
I would love to hear a real Loft set from you, but I get the idea.
Best!
