Mixtapes from the 215

Both of these mixtapes rocked my world today and for completely different reasons.  One is all about the old school funk and the other is all about the new school dance.  You are welcome in advance...

First up to bat is a split mixtape released by Luis Angel Cancel and Kid Queasy released on Concrete Umbrella.  The A side is titled "Come to the Bedroom" and it is awash with chillwave and other dreamy gems including: Washed Out, MillionYoung, JJ, and Miike Snow.  The B side is from Kid Queasy, who we've mentioned before, and it lights your feet on fire and doesn't stop till the end.  My choice samples are: Hot Chip and Mylo.  They've set this mixtape up how I set up all of the many many woman who have fallen for Mr. Change.  Win you over blindly with our smooth ass jamz and then BAM! Take it up a notch caveman style, back to the room. What's wrong? Isn't that how everyone does it?

And as I mentioned in the beginning of this post, another local awesome DJ gang, has also dropped some stupendous old school funk/soul in our laps.  Rocktits! has been bringing it all day every day for some time now, also play a weekly gig at the Pope and last month they gave us this gift:
