A Brooklyn Life

So it’s been forever and a day since the last ABL:Radio mix, and no we haven’t quit, just taken an extended break while pushing our Suspiria parties. That has wound down so our focus is back on the podcast. What better way so start back up again, than with a truly amazing mix?

While DJing at roof top party in Williamsburg a few weeks ago, I met Goldstitch. We chatted after my set regarding similar musical tastes. After he returned to London, we reconnected once and he sent me this funkadelic, discolicious mix. Strangely enough, the title "Redhook Shooters" was given long before we talked about running it on ABrooklynLife Radio. It must be destiny!

From very humble beginnings Djing around Manchester and my native Macclesfield, I’ve gone on to putting on equally humble Goldstitch nights around London since 2003. I mainly like to be on the other side of the decks bouncing off the walls at Lowlife’s quarterly parties in London which always has a brilliant crowd. Personally for me It’s all about late nights round friends houses playing our new finds… this is when we really listen to the music and adapt our knowledge and taste. There’s a group of us Starting a new night for September in Brixton, south London called “Let it Happen” with more grooves than Gordon Ramseys face.
