GOTCHA COVERED - A NEW MIX FROM LIL'DAVE AND PERSONIFY
Two of Philadelphia's finest DJs lil'dave (Illvibe Collective) and Personify (Little Big Things) have joined forces to bring you Gotcha Covered - a genre bending mega-mix of covers songs from the mid-60s to the present. With more than 35 years of DJing and music collecting between them, these fellas dug deep in their collections to pull tracks for Gotcha Covered and spent months mixing, cutting and blending together more than 90 covers spanning Funk, Soul, Jazz, Afrobeat, Latin, Bossa Nova, Boogaloo, Reggae, Steel-Drum Band, Brass Band, R&B and Hip-Hop, to name a few. From the super rare to the under-appreciated and forgotten to the more common cover versions, Gotcha Covered offers up something for the serious digger and the casual listener alike. If you love good music, stop what you're doing, grab a copy of the mix, and prepare to be taken on a tour of some of funkiest and most soulful covers ever laid down. And sorry - no track listing...gotta do your own homework for this one!
Gotcha Covered is available for free download here (@soundcloud.com/lildave-

Interview With Photographer Shawn Theodore XST
I was first introduced to photographer Shawn Theodore aka XST (pronounced exist) on Instagram and we quickly hit it off. Shawn is a really talented photographer (on and off the iphone) and over the short time we've been aquatinted (how old is instagram anyway?) I have seen a definite narrative develop through his photos. He interacts with the street folks we pass by and spends time hanging in the mostly overlooked nooks and crannies of Philadelphia. With all the disconnection that the internet has brought with it his photos leave me feeling connected to the people and places of Philadelphia. He has stories for almost every photo and believe me he has taken a lot of photos. We caught up recently to discuss his photography, the streets of Philadelphia, and the wild things he's seen while doing one in the other
