2008 kicked off with MoonDrop, the independent music set ... but at the time I worked on that, I couldn't find a slot for one of my favorite tunes, Just a Girl from the good people at ViceLounge ... I realized that one would have to be the basis for an entirely new set. What resulted is a new Quiet Storm style set, Terms & Conditions....

Except for the ViceLounge track and another one from The Warheads, this has little in the way of indie roots but instead ranges over a selection of R&B-flavored tracks new and old ... and when I say "old" I mean Memphis Minnie who leads the set with a 1920's blues song for our time: "Nothing in Rambling".

Additionally, you'll hear tracks from De-Phazz, Remy Shand, Monte La Rue, Groove Theory, Praful, dZihan & Kamien and Mark Rae ... there's also the Stryke rework of Ain't No Sunshine as well as a house version of Candi Staton's soul gospel shouter, You've Got the Love, from The Source.

As is often the case, the mixing is about clever connections rather than long beat-matched passages ...

Oh, I guess, since this is February, this must be the Valentine's Day mix

Comments welcome....

Whooooaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First time I'm catching this and I'm seriously impressed ... this set (or what I've heard of it!) is soaking funky ... lots of ear candy!!! Gotta try and catch this from the beginning again sometime...
