DJ Still Life: End Of Summer Soul Mix (2006)

—as one of the Earfuzz Oh Geez, I periodically like to drop in and lay some shit out for your listening pleasure, enjoy. Shouts to Junior, independant j & G147, you guys are holding it down in proper fashion–

I recorded this mix of soul records one recent afternoon looking out my window as the summer weather faded. I got most of these records during the summertime, and many provided a pleasent soundtrack an early evening porch sitting. The songs took on a more meloncholy feel as I looked at the clouds in the sky and the wind blowing through the palm trees. As I get geared up for the fall’s record haul, I think these songs set the tone nicely.

–tracklist–

Syl Johnson- Wind, Blow Her Back My Way
Erma Franklin- Peice of My Heart
Delfonics- La La La La La (Means I Love You)
The Fuzz- I Love You
Willie Hutch- I Choose You Baby
Freddie Scott- Don’t Let Me Fall
Mike James Kirkland- Hang On In There
Bootsy Collins- I’d Rather Be With You
Al Green- I’m Glad You’re Mine
Eddie Kendricks- Intimate Friends

    Just the tunes for a sunday morning.

  6. I can't express enough how well this is put together. I have a sun room and deck that overlooks South Philadelphia, and the downtown. Played this near sunset, and it finished up with Intimate Friends right as the sun went off to the west. We have alot of pollution, so it made for a nice hazy, red, intense scene. The mix just moves right through the classics .. nice stuff. Best, fONk
