  • klezmer electro-thug beats said: RAJ said: Agree on the neu funk.  Desco was my era and a gateway drug back in the late 90s.  I knew Phillip Lehman and helped design a later version of the Desco web site before the label folded. Cool! D…
  • ketan said: so impressed by the commitment to the vibe on this production, so i'm defo listening! Thank you!
  • klezmer electro-thug beats said: Vibe is the word I was gonna use. Lakeside funk, hell yeah. I'm into the selection too, good to see some 90s-2000s funk as a Poets of Rhythm/Soul Fire/Desco/funk revivalist enthusiast. Bus People Express is …
  • Put together a little funk mix while on vacation at Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia.  Upload speeds weren't having a live stream, but was able to get it on tape and upload it to thou Youtube: Official mixxx is on the soundcloud page as well: T…

  • Live this Saturday Night 8-9 PM EST. After a much needed mental health break, DJ Raj Mahal is back to celebrate our 30th episode of Solitary Selections with a finely blended hour of 80s electro funk jamz on vinyl. Long live the 808!
  • Here's an official mix Thes put together without the emotional commentary:
  • What a tribute last night.  I was emotional just as much as anyone.  I wish I had one of those 10%er New World Ales to sip along with Thes. Unfortunately, the Twitch video was pulled (probably for a few reasons.)  I managed to DL the audio feed bef…
  • New single and video: EP is finally being released in the beginning of April   
  • CRABFUNK said: Hey man, I remember you! That avatar brings back memories. I stopped monging, started working, became middle-aged and sort of mellowed. I pee three times a night and I no longer want to argue with anyone unless I'm getting paid…
  • Only experienced this once... just recently.  Honestly, I think the Euro mailers are worse.  Especially for 45s!  I say a little prayer when I cut one of those open.
  • Crazy.  So the BBS software they are running wasn't archived past the thread subject index page.  That sucks!!! I was using a version of UBB Threads in 2004 that did the same thing.  So, lost a year of golden era strut, but I have 2001-2003, 2005-20…
  • klezmer electro-thug beats said: Just got around to it and yeah it's is one of the best yet. Great work Raj. Played it while hanging with my kid, who appreciated it as much as any baby/toddler inbetweener could be expected to. Thanks Klez…
  • dizzybull said: Hell yes. I’m only five minutes in and loving it so far.  Thanks G*r*!
  • dizzybull said: RAJ said: superpoaster is that dude and super talented.  He pops up from time to time on social media to pay respect.    Well well well. BAN RAJ MAHAL.  It's been a long time, but I'm perplexed on why I even b…
  • DOR said: And his research is usually top notch.  The reactions some of the interviewees give when he digs up some super private tidbit are priceless.
  • para11ax said: Anyway, god bless ‘em. They’ve stayed strong while the Strut mostly was decimated by social media.  I agree.  It does seam fitting that a batch of Paul Major worshippers could never advance past 2002 BBS technology. That sai…

  • Reynaldo82 said: I hear that scratching records ruins them over time. That’s lesson one of my record preservation master class. I'm in the predicament right now as I try to keep it real by spinning raers on the live stream.At some point y…

  • Going live this Saturday night 8-9PM EST with an Encore performance of my Dynamite Dub all vinyl reggae set that I spun on Twitch last night:
  • Ha.. I saw this on Instagram the other day and immediate thought of the strut. The fact this guy is the crate digging ambassador is laughable. I'm sure dude is cool in real life, but I always found his record collecting persona to be down right crin…

  • Going live this Saturday night! It's about that time for DJ Raj Mahal to unearth sought after vinyl gems from his private collection to bring forth an hour long set of tastefully blended funky psych rock, garage and much more!  It's all vinyl and…
  • billbradley said: @4YearGraduate Thes, thanks for sharing those words with us.  Seriously.  PUTS needs a memoire / proper doc.  Not many hip hop "groups" have made an impact on me like PUTS.  I always admired how they chose their own dest…
  • Such sad news. PUTS were an integral part of this web site's legacy.  Though he never posted on here, you knew he was down with the Strut.  RIP. On a side note, what is with all these Gen X'rs (especially hip hop folks) passing lately?  I guess I'm…
