  • The Soul Strut "Raer" Live Stream

    Going live for the 21st time this Saturday night 8-9PM EDT HD on the YouTubes. Got a mostly 45 set of everything from raer 70s black rock to Mexican garage. The common theme : F U Z Z. See you soon!

  • My Nephew's New EP on Dangerbird

    RAJRAJ
    If you like 90s lo-fi indie rock like Dinosaur Jr., Hum, Sonic Youth, you should check out my nephew's band Milly.  Their new single just dropped on Dangerbird.

    That was great!

    Are you controlling the video at the same time?

    Thanks... Yes!  I have a stream deck controller in front of my mixer that controls all the cameras and media.  Huge balancing act but a fun challenge.

    That is a really cool setup, I can't think of any other video'ed mixes I've seen where you can peep the covers, the turntables, the whole scene, and silly psychedelic film clips all mixed live. Most people just set up the one camera. No half measures.


    Enjoy the music too obviously - the Shadow mix was great

    Thank you!  I've put a lot of thought, time, and $$ into this. It's been a labor of love and it's something I felt I needed to do to pay homage to all the great artists talked about on this site over the years. My goal is to do at least 100 episodes. I do wish I was getting more traction with the viewership, though, but I guess that will come in time.  It's hard to stick out with all the noise. The conceptual mixes like the Shadow one has boosted interest quite a bit.  So I expect to produce more thematic mixes like that in the future.

  • Record Store Day 2020

    RAJRAJ
    Ever since I started the live stream, I have been buying like crazy!  I used to be able to embed my instagram video flips on here, but it don't work no more and I am lazy to post pictures.

    It's great to hear that you have the bug again Dizzy.  I too took a 5 year break from 2010-2015 and the landscape changed dramatically in that time. The hipster millennials brought back vinyl and the price and demand went through the roof.  Great for my Discogs collection portfolio bad for my pocketbook.  I suddenly had to be ok with shelling out for good shit instead of finding raers in flea markets on the cheap.

    I do a hybrid of Discogs and real world digging ATM.  If you have a healthy wants list in Discogs and check the marketplace 20 / day like I do, deals can be had.  I'm still finding great shit for cheap.  It takes a lot more persistence but it does happen.
