OdDio's Audio Odyssey

After a long hiatus, I'm back with a new installment of the Audio Odyssey featuring a tasty selection of underground hip hop, jazzy downtempo, funk beats, nu soul, and other assorted sonic delicacies.  I'm going to try to keep the show monthly in 2010, but it would be foolish to make any promises considering how crazy these past few months have been--and how eventful the next few promise to be.

The Decade in 100 Records PDF Print E-mail

I wasn't going to do a songs-of-the-decade list, but I had some free time and...

My process was the following: I sat here at my computer and made a list of about 125 records from memory, using discogs to verify their release dates.  Though I would’ve liked to, I didn't go through my wax or listen to any sound samples online, mainly as a way of not spending too long on the project. Then I cut the list back to 100, and tinkered a bit, swapping things and making a small number of “political choices” in an attempt to include, in some way or another, all of the artists whose music I've most enjoyed; for example, “well, all three of these Quantic records are great, but I’ve got to have something from Atjazz.” Finally, I organized them alphabetically by year, rather than attempting to rank them. This, too, was a time-saving measure.

The year 2000 caught me just three years into record collecting and deejaying, so these records—in addition to following in some way the larger trends in sounds and styles—also represent a significant evolution in my own tastes.  I've tried to remain faithful to what I listened to and played over the years—but naturally the list also conveys my current interests and inclinations.

Mixcloud Logo Now that everyone's on Soundcloud, it's time--in classic friendster-is-so-last-month-let's-all-move-to-myspace fashion--to find a new domain to colonize.  I propose mixcloud.  It's a nice-looking and smooth-running site, with some interesting features--for instance, all tracklistings are hyperlinked, so other mixes featuring songs bya given artist are just a click away.  Just cross your fingers for a future mp3 download button, or we may have to move again next month. 

If you're already on Mixcloud: congratulations to you, you savvy stud.  Add me as a friend.  If you haven't signed up yet, hurry up while it's still in Beta mode; two weeks from now you'll be able to say: "Oh, Mixcloud?  I've been on that site forever.  It was good for a while, but lately DJcloud is where it's at."

Having moved around like I have, and having relatively mellow tastes like I do has meant that over the years I've played more than my fair share of warm-up sets.  Though there's nothing quick as exhilirating as playing to a packed dancefloor in full form, there's also a great pleasure to be had in building things up at the beginning of the night. 

Why do I love to play early, as people are just getting to the club?  There's generally more freedom, for one.  The early slot is a perfect time to play all the records you might not normally be able to get away with, and it lends itself well to covering a wide variety of styles and genres in a short period of time--a perfect way keep it interesting and hit on the specific tastes of everyone in the room.  And, of course, when you finish the night is still young and you can relax, check out the other DJs' sets, and enjoy the full selection of beverages available at the bar. 

Recently I was in the mood for putting together just such a mix, a typical early-night set.  I was pleased with the results I decided to share them with one of Spain's finest dance music portals, Clubbingspain.  It's been getting some nice feedback so far, and I want to thank everyone who took the time to register and post a few kind words in support of the mix.

It's been some winter.  Warm up to this...

Gerardo Frisina is a vital piece of the Ishtar equation. His deep knowledge of jazz has been key in the creation and success of Ishtar, which houses most notably the Schema and Rearward labels. He began as a producer for artists involved with Ishtar and quickly moved into production of his own records. This began with the release of Ad Lib in 2001 and has since brought us Hi Note and The Latin Kick. Along the way, he has managed to ring up an impressive catalog of remixes of modern jazz tunes, as well as an incredible selection of classic artists including the likes of Horace Silver, Freddie Hubbard, Dizzy Gillespie, and more. -DJ Offbeat
