Hey listeners,

It’s that time of the month again, or thereabouts.

A* steps in to fold this month digging deep exploring new waters and delving into unchartered territories. Kicking off with The J.B’s & IG Culture’s Black, A* masterfully sets the tone with an all round funk, brukish & latin affair.

The Reel People collective fly in like Flynn featuring Omar on Outta Love before this mix glides into the future with the likes of Model 500 & Kaidi & Dego’s supreme Move Over. Look out for Pleasure’s Straight Ahead remixed by the ever progressive Kyoto Jazz Massive & a new cut by South London based collective, Insomniax ; ).

Carl Craig’s Landcrusing seems as future proof as a sun stroked 69’ SL Mercedes, & on a decidedly Latin tip, Peven Everett blows through setting the pace with Put Your Back Into It. Jose Gonzalez, Soil & Pimp & Jackson Conti drop certified slammers guaranteed to get you track hunting just like Lewis Hamilton did in Sao Paolo…oh wait (sorry Ferrari fans) check track 16 for a hearty reminder…still LMeffinAO at that one.

All in all definitely one of the most memorable mixes for 2009 & a tremendous way to start. As always…Generika HiFi Sound doing it BIG every time, every year & everywhere.

Peven Everett does things on the sly with Kissing Game, and the ever productive Moonstar collective sets up the mix with a mesmerising broken/latin treat. Keep your ears to the ground for Pos & Trugoy on Cobbs Creek, Mighty Mos Def’s Fear Not of Man & J-Live, who BTW you can catch at Uprock's Instrumental Session, Sunday 7th December...for FREE!!!

Original beats dominate Ep.2 as we turn decidedly left of centre with productions by Andre Oreford, Marc Mac & Domu’s headnod track, U Better Recognize.

The hard to find Boom Clap Bachelors collective take us on a velvet dream ride with Combiner & Vanessa Freeman brings us up to speed, mixing her vocals with Mustang’s HEAVYWEIGHT jazz fusion ensemble, Give a Little Love.

With all this muzik to digest, you'll need at least two Rennies to curb your enthusiasm for wanting more good music. Greybeard hopes you enjoy listening to this session as much as he enjoyed mixing it.
