Basic Soul Unit aka Stuart Li from Toronto, Canada is the focus of this episode. Since 2003 he’s been releasing tunes on labels like Iwanai, Versatile, Mule, Philpot, … and he co-started the Do Right! sublabel Left Of The Dial. His sound ranges from straight up detroit to jazzy broken techno down to jackin’ chicago house – old school sounds in a modern production. His excellent new releases on Crème Organization and Room With A View were reason enough to make a one hour special with BSU productions. We hope you dig!

These are some of my favourite soul and jazz records, it’s that simple. I looked at the soul & jazz records I had in my collection, picked out my absolute favourites and tried to glue some of those together in a 2 hour music only (*) mix that made sense. Did you know Beyondjazz started as a section of a weekly classic jazz show? From Latin to Soul to 50’s Jazz and Spiritual Jazz, this show brings you so much classic tunes.
Couldn’t resist to also sneak in two tunes from the just released Timeless DVDs, one from the José James & Jef Neve collab and a brand new tune from Build An Ark’s new lp.
I hope you enjoy. – oemebamo

I have to credit Gilles Peterson, my main man Lennart and Christopher for putting me on this music. These guys have been a main source of inspiration and information about recordings that are about twice my age.

From experimental dubstep pieces to soulful techno, and from 1996 triphop to afro-percussive house beats, this episode has it all. A good ol’ bag of delights to dream away with!

This week we turn our spotlight on Lee Jones aka Hefner. Back in the nineties he made ambient (together with Fink) and drum’n’bass, but in ’98 he released the An Evening With Hefner 12″, laying the foundation for his signature downtempo sound. He went on to release the acclaimed album Residue and the remix collection Reworks, and in 2004 he produced the debut album of vocalist Josée Hurlock. After that he focussed more and more on house music with a slew of releases on Aus Music and Playhouse. For years now there have been rumors about a second Hefner album, but we didn’t wait for it to give you an overview of the Hefner era! To warm up for the mix, we inserted a bunch of harps and jazz.
