The old year ends with a look back at some of 2009's shows, and the new year begins with its own mix, inspired by the latest from Sade which will officially drop in February. Well so, first of all, mad props to the folks at Giant Step for providing the newest release from my Queen ... Sade opens the year for downtempo and other music fans with the new track Solider of Love -- military snares, razor-wire guitar riffs and a wartime bass line: Sade is representing for everyone prepared to fight for love in this life, the expression of determination in her vocals standing strong like the Chinese guy standing in front of the Tiananmen Square tanks …

You'll also hear essential tracks from Walkner-Moestl, The Warheads, Monte LaRue, Rithma, Universal Funk, Kaya and The Tao of Groove, among others. I've even salvaged a older track from independent artist "K" whose digitalEvolution project may have been one of the most exciting finds of the aughts for me … a significant talent.

The set closes out with Alice Russsell's track Humankind, another energetic pitch for connection and love. Listen people, BeatConscious is just trying to bring a little balance to all the war-hate-and-depression talk that closed out 2009 … if we don't represent, who will?

Well, maybe you will ... join us for the evening, or any time ... and, as always, your comments are welcome
