Welcome to the new and improved ROOTS & FUTURE! The new style is to get artists we love to talk to us about what they're about and what they got coming up and give us some dope tracks to post for a week. For the first edition I had the honor of catching up with longtime house and breaks producer Hollis P. Monroe aka DJ Decent for an IM interview. Dude has been doin it doin it since the mid 90's and has some serious tunes under his belt, including funky breaks monster " Reflex Speed [...]

We played Le Rascasse in Monaco once and they loved it so much they brought us back again. This is the live recording from the second time (the first time we didn't record, but this one was better anyway). It was 4 hours long, but we cut it down to the best 1.5 hours that covers the whole range from house to minimal to techno to classics to mersh and got all the Monégasque going crazy. Paulo also mixed part of it. Sorry, but there is no tracklisting for now. Episode 13: Live at [...]

I'm smashing it today, right? Pics from DOTC2 and a new podcast live from Monaco so far and now something totally different. So I went to high-school with Ross The Boss (F.K.A. DJ Rook) who is a seriously dope bedroom hip-hop DJ and has a headie podcast that you can check here . Dude is a also a talented jazz piano player and we used to rock together when I played saxophone. We also DJed together alot and in 1999 decided to hook our people up with with a Xmas/Hanukkah/Kwanza mixtape for the [...]

I'm pretty much at a loss for words for what happened on Satuday nite. All I can say is a HUGE THANK YOU to all the Boston people that made DOTC 2 such an unbelievable party. Can't wait for August 25th! Once again Yubi captured it with some dopedope photos that you can check here .

On Saturday right before we left Europe we went to a festival in the desert outside Barcelona called Monegros . 40,000 people we're there to wild out from 5pm Saturday til 2pm Sunday with 7 tents of TECHNO MUSIC. It was by far the biggest rave I've been to in my life. Here's Charlie's play-by-play. Click the links to see the videos. Here (Frequency 7 who played BANGING techno at like 9am) and here (Derrick May who beats it like no other) are 2 highlights that Charlie didn't [...]

So this is the live mix from the bikini fashion show we played our first night in Monaco. It's only 40 minutes long but captures the poolside vibe perfectly and has some of our favorite jams that might never make it on another mix on it. I Want Your Sex was a last minute selection by Mr. Monaco himself, so give him his props cause the ladies love it. Also, pics are up from some of our gigs out here. Tracklist George Michael - I Want Your Sex (Rhythm [...]

Monaco is great. Tonight we play Nice. We'll have mixes and more pics up when we get a minute.

DJ Bruno is one of the originators of house music in Boston and it's time to pay your respect. As resident at the legendary Loft Bruno and Armand Van Helden shaped the sound of our city, but even before that he was a pioneer and he continues to be one of the most exciting DJs in the city today. This Sunday celebrate his 20th DJ anniversary at Utopia (Bruno's weekly Sunday that always has great vibes and music and lively dancefloor and is def worth checking any week, especially with upcoming guests like Karizma & [...]

It's been too long since we did mixTape Time and also we finally started ripping tapes from the old collection. I think I got this in 1998 and it's one of my favorite funky breaks mixes of all time for sure. The speed garage basslines on a few of these tracks are so where I was at at the time. Serious rave action. Justin Johnson - Fractured Breaks - Side A DOWNLOAD Justin Johnson - Fractured Breaks - Side B DOWNLOAD
