New Mix: Live at Awamu Together 2020 House Party

This is a set recorded live for Awamu’s Together House Party 2020 - a virtual weekend festival fundraiser for the excellent Awamu Charity who’s purpose is to ensure children in the slums of Kampala, Uganda, gain the education and skills that are vital to their future:

“Many children we work with are HIV positive. Their guardians, often elderly, ill and poor, are also in need of support, as the wellbeing of children in their care is inextricably linked to theirs.

“We know that children do best when they are supported and cared for in their own communities, among extended families, friends, and neighbours so we also help those that care for them to gain new skills and the confidence to increase their income, regain control of their lives and take care of themselves and their family.

“Awamu means ‘together’ in L'uganda, the main language spoken in Bwaise and Kikoni slum areas we work. We chose it as it reflects spirit of the women and children we are lucky enough to work in partnership with there.”

Please donate. Anything you can give will mean the world of difference.

The set, played out at 7pm on a Saturday, designed to be listened during your evening meal. It's 'Dinner Jazz" for those of you who like being sworn at by potty mouth rappers talking about inappropriate subjects while you eat your meal.

This is my first set of 2009 in second life and it's a bit longer than my usual set - but that was I decided to play the most amazing Program Music 1 by Japanese Composer Kaishiwa Daisuke, which rocks in at a mammoth 35 minutes long, but is worth every single second of it. Anyway, here's the track listing:

Back To Mine set: Best of 2008 round up

machnew01_0021.jpg

I finally managed to get down to it and sum up some of the great music that has made 2008 great for me and it's mostly LPs, which I suppose is a change in itself, as for the last 14 years of DJing my music purchases have been mostly made up of singles, but moving on to buying CDs and having an emusic subscription has changed that. Anyway - on with the list (it's not in order, but the best is saved to the last):
