Kader's Soulful/Deep/Afro House Podcast (Live Mixes)

Greetings,
So this one I had crafted to record live at a BBQ here in “sunny” Florida a few weeks ago, but that didn’t happen because a storm was passing by and people panicked, and then there were three of us, so it didn’t happen! Nevertheless, the word was out that it was going to be recorded and I was being asked about it so on a rainy day last weekend, I got her done.
Continuing with the Latin flavors here... I cannot remember when the last Mojito was published but it has to be several years now. I had recorded a Brazilian affair a little while ago but don’t believe I published that, maybe I’ll put that up as a side distraction now that Rio is happening. Let me know what to do.
I’ve had this building for a minute but as always, I have too many “buckets” going on and can never seem to settle on a concept. I had to force this out as the Afro/Latin rhythms seem to be coming at us left right and center so the track list kept changing. I must admit that the plan was to go hard in the middle, but that changed with some key new releases so I had to remove the Luciano and Michel Cleis that were taking the center stage/peak.
You all know I love the drum, and I’ve really pushed it center stage here. As you might be able to imagine, blending such complex rhythms is difficult when both tracks come hard so I tried to focus on making the transition as interesting as possible without cluttering the sound. As you also know, I consider the transition/cross over to be a track in its own right so I particularly enjoy creating something in between that should be able to stand on its own. The cross-overs here are not too long but in some instances I was kind of forced to make them elaborate to allow the tracks to maintain their own identity and intent. I believe musicians construct their tracks deliberately so who am I to shortchange their sound eh? In some cases though, I was able to find a convenient loop half way through to chop.
Anyway, onward, track list:
1. Christian Vinci – Son Sol
2. Pepe Citarella, Isidro Infante & Luisito Quintero– Celia y Tito
3. Hector Lavoe – Aguanile RMX
4. Manoo, Alex Finkin, Louie Vega & Jose Mangual Jr. – Soy Latino RMX
5. Pablo Fierro & Justin Imperiale – La Libertad RMX
6. Pablo Fierro – Herencia Latino
7. Southern Groove – Sufre y Vive
8. Novalima - Beto Kele RMX
9. Buyepongo – Maestros RMX
10. Southern Groove & FNX – Candela RMX
11. Myles Bigelow & Toto Berriel – Los Ojos RMX
12. Nicodemus & Sammy Ayala – Conmigo RMX
13. Christina Vinci – Habana Vieja
14. Pablo Fierro – Solos Tu y Yo RMX
15. Ezel & Tamara Wellons – Girl From Ipanema RMX
REMIX CREDITS: Jose Marquez (3, 8, 9), Justin Imperiale (5, 14, 15), Hallex M (11, 12), Louie Vega (4), FNX (10).
So there you have it, something that should have come out at the beginning of summer, will instead extend your summer vibe.
Many thanks for stopping by and giving this a listen. Please take a second and let me know what you thought. And your thoughts for Belize please. We got hit hard.
Blessed LOVE.

Favorite track: Southern Groove – Sufre y Vive
Oh, and be warned, channel 2 was a little sticky and I had to mess with it a couple times, but decided to trod on.

Greetings all,
This one was pieced together on Thanksgiving morning, while waiting for the kids to wake up... capturing my mood that morning.
More importantly, and some of you may not like this, it also shows my progression to things techy. While I cannot see myself heading towards the hard tech stuff, I am appreciating that more metallic sound, especially when it's complimented by dark sultry vocals that actually mean something. While I started out playing mostly soulful house, deep house has been dominant in my sets now, and I kind like it.
This one contains most of the "techy" type producers that have been grabbing my attention with their masterful productions: Ripperton, the Innervision crewe, Beanfield, Stimming, Deetron. Missing from this set is a Deetron (Thinking)from his latest album, and I'm quite upset that I forgot to add that one in while mixing it... There will be follow ups to this one so no biggie really.
01 - The Howling, Ry, Ame - Shortline (Frank Wiedemann Remix)
02 - Nathan X and Cuebur - so far away (nomumbah remix)
03 - Georg Levin - falling masonry (stimming remix)
04 - Rami Deejay, Keely Timlin - Burn Burn (Vas Floyd Remix)
05 - Tevo Howard feat. Tracey Thorn - Without Me
06 - Rudimental - Spoons feat. MNEK & Syron (Original Mix)
07 - Beanfield Feat. Marzenka - Bring You Love (Original Mix)
08 - Beanfield Feat. Marzenka - Alone (Original Mix)
09 - Ripperton - At Peace (feat Christina Wheeler)
10 - Miguel migs feat. meshell ndegeocello - close your eyes (deetron remix)
11 - Stimming - gaensebluemchen (original mix)
12 - Noze - ethiopo
13 - Cid & Niota - Na Wuti Musika (Afriki Soul Mix)
14 - Rhythm & Sound With Tikiman - Music A Fe Rule (Part 1)
15 - Suges - do with you (acapella) b/w Music A Fe Rule
Not a favorites kinda guy as I've said before, but if I really have to rewind a track, it would have to be Ripperton's "At Peace"... LOVE that track.
Anyway, stay Blessed PodO's. Be well.
Please leave a comment letting me know what you think of the vibe...
Please also let me know if you have any suggestions for me to incorporate into my sets.... will do all I can do to accommodate.

Greetings Podo's, I return to the deep end, my definition of deep end that is.
I have been listening to these tracks for ages now, enjoying them on my own, on my travels.
Well I had some spare time yesterday, and adding a couple new finds ended up banging this one out. By no means a dancehall stomper, but an excellent rainy day companion, getting a little nasty just for the sake of it. I know its summer time and the sun should be out and the roof top bars are banging out the hard stuff, and the pool parties are soulful etc... but its fucking raining everyday here in Florida, torrential I tell you!!!, so this is how i felt... take it for what it is.
