The LA funkster shares his after hours listening sounds
Beres Hammond – I Could Beat Myself (VP Records)
Heard this track when I was doing my laundry in south LA near a Jamaican restaurant, I ran in the joint and asked who it was and the chef gave me the actual CD. Instant obsession.
Ice Level – Ava Luna
I love the dark vibe on this track. So much happens and I always get excited sharing this cause it’s unexpected flip in the 2nd verse…
Bernard Wright – Just Chillen Out (EMI)
Amazing funk track by the under rated keyboardist Bernard Wright.
Happiness – B.T. Express (Columbia)
Super feel good vibe, great for entertaining guests. Used to spin this in Brooklyn at the What Is Soul party at Black Betty (RIP).
George Benson – Nature Boy (Warner Bros)
My favourite version of this standard.
Deadato – Area Code 808 (Atlantic)
Super funky instrumental track
D Train – Keep On (Columbia)
Ridiculous Dance Floor Anthem
The Budos Band – Chicago Falcon (Daptone)
Super greasy horns and dark afrobeat groove.
Dr. Buzzards Original Savannah Band – Sunshowers (RCA)
This track is also super vibey and can cheer me up or be sympathetic to a sadder mood.
Gina Soccio – Dancer (Warner)
Banger.
Adrian Alan ‘E.D.E.N. EP’ will be released June 2nd 2014 on AHibbsJoint.
