The End Is Near: A Black Jazz Mix by DJ Froz One
Black Jazz Records was a Jazz label founded in Oakland California by Jazz pianist Gene Russell in the early 70s as an alternative to traditional Jazz. They had a seven year run of releases, the majority of them being funky, spiritual, and criminally slept on. Contributing blogger and avid record nerd Froz 1 lovingly compiled a mix of label highlights, and it is perfect company for the on set of fall. If you see him in the streets buy him a coffee and give him a hug. You owe him at least that.

As a side note, the entire Black Jazz catalogue of master tapes is for sale on Craigslist. Just saying.

Breaking The Ice: DJ Platurn
Our good friend DJ Platurn has recently released a mix of rare Icelandic psych, funk, soul, and disco that has lovingly been compiled, mixed, and presented in a masterful way. The Icelandic DJ and his cousin spent years collecting and combing through music from the motherland and the resulting piece is the first of it's kind. Something you should defiantly give a listen to.
