For stupid reasons out of my control I will not be returning to the Boston airwaves to produce You Can’t Do That on Radio Anymore! this week. So instead I put together a sweet party jams mix of the tunes I intended to play for today’s episode up on my Mixcloud page. Or you can simply just listen in on the nifty embedded player below. Boogie down, minions.

I was pretty pumped to hear that former Northeastern classmate turned HOT AS SHIT DJ, Durkin, was producing hip-hop tracks. Durkin will be performing with Black El on Tuesday the 14th at Church Boston (one of my favorite venues for hearing new stuff) in honor of the CD Release of their full length, Color Commentary. It’s refreshing to hear some original hip-hop coming out of this place that isn’t made by some irritating New England Asher Roth wanna be. It’s only 7 bucks, but something tells me you won’t be paying that little scratch for too long with these dudes. As if this night couldn’t be awesome enough BREK.ONE, Ghostdad, and Durkin will all be spinning, so be prepared to dance your ass off to the best freaking DJ’s this city has to offer.

While there were plenty of vendors selling cool poster art and vintage clothes, it was the dozens of peddlers who showed up with boxes of dusty old records who stole the show. Next year I’ll be bringing more dinero and a suit case for all my loot.

After a very long hiatus from the radio I’ve decided to start – get ready for it – podcasting. I had about as much fun making this as I hate the word “podcast”. So enjoy this mix I made of new and old summer tunes and let me know what you think. Thanks. – S.
