Reasons

Latest edition of "Across 135th Street" now available for your listening pleasure (thanks to RMBA Radio's handy-dandy new embedded player)... right 'chea:

Like last month's program this one features quality stuff from across eras: Mizell Bros. productions, Dunn Pearson Jr.'s strings of life, more Eglo trippin', a finally-official Henrik Schwarz remix, Johnwaynes' Farrakhan-fueled fire, Dimitri From Paris gettin' Philly with it, the Jackson Sisters gone Latin, and Cobblestone's long and winding Rhodes. Also an Omar S. thing from last year that might seem uncharacteristic for this space, but nonetheless felt like the appropriate thing to play at the appropriate time (peace to Hsulu). For motives that may or may not be apparent (and honestly aren't particularly complicated) this mix is called "Reason to Survive." Just two hours of music, no chatter. Playlist below. Enjoy!
