How many mixologists does it take to serve a good cocktail?

DJ Jimi Needles is putting a whole new spin on mixology. Check out the rest of his Cocktail Blends below.

Forplay’s first sober saturday morning

It feels good to be able to wake up and actually do things.

Sounds Like: Nightmares on Wax, Dj Vadim, Dj Krush

Sinitus Tempo - C’est La Vie

A more sober minded man might wax poetic about the harmonies, melodies, and varying soundscapes in Portico Quartet’s latest single, Ruins, however I am happy just listening to it on repeat.

Departure of hang-ist Nick Mulvey had me worried as to what direction the band would take, but they’ve served up something tasty. I’ll be staying for the Entree.

Sounds Like: Lars Danielsson, Wolfgang Haffner

Forplay hasn’t heard a word of music today

For when the mind has no words but only images.

This is where forplay comes to die when New York is Killing me

At first glance, I thought both the track and artist name (once I figured out the difference) looked like the spelling of an Icelandic Volcano. But any man - a better man, worth his Karjalanpiirakka could easily tell you that this little good is from Finland.

Kuusumun Profeetta - Kovin Lentäen Kotiin Kaipaan (Left-Click)

Haven’t really listened to much since getting my hands on Washed Out’s latest album, however have found myself skipping back to this track every so often.

Isotope 217 - La Jetee (Left-Click)

Prelude to a night without plans.

Dorothy Ashby - Come Live With Me (Left-Click)

A song your dad could get into.

The Greg Foat Group - Dark is the Sun (Harpischord Waltz) (Left-Click)

When first listening to this song tonight, I thought relaxin’ with cherry might be like the first 2 minutes and 20 seconds of the track. As it turns out cherry had a little more lounge in her than expected.

This was more my vibe.

Varying doses of mucinex, day/nyquill, emergen-c, green tea, and old fashioneds haven’t helped remedy my current condition. To make it worse, according to WebMD I could have anything from laryngitis to cancer.

..Fucking all that off for a minute, and letting modern jazz help where modern medicine couldn’t.

Portico Quartet - Isla (Left Click)

For about a year and a half now my girlfriend has been searching for the perfect colored orange blazer. The fashion gods haven’t bestowed anything on the racks of any retailers south of 23rd street, but when they do, i’ll be ready with a song to capture the moment (that’s if she doesn’t break up with me before then for sharing her treasured fashion tips).

Jazz Times

Eraser (Thom Yorke Cover)/Christian Scott

Trumpeter, Christian Scott, has been heralded as “the Architect of a new commercially viable Jazz,” by Jazz Times.

With a splendid cover of something so familiar, who can deny the urge to delve further deep into constructs of Jazz.
