DaManDL's Music Station & Podcast

I took way too long to get back on my DJ grind but I made it worth your while.

Unapologetically very NY-centric. MCing. Lyrics. Street-level boom-bap. 3 of the best who ever did it came from NYC - Brooklyn & Queens stand up!

The Greatest Entertainer of All Time!!!

Not too many words needed here. Every DJ in the world has their own way but I have to dig for some special songs and do it MY WAY.

Run time: 1 hour and 15 minutes

In honor of my birthday – proud to say, my 36th – I wanted to bring back a mix that holds the most meaning to me. “R&B Classiks”. This was my very first mixtape done back in 1993. Done completely the old-school way: two turntables – I wasn’t even on direct drive Technics 1200s yet!! – and a cassette deck! I converted the tape (side A and side B) to CD a few years ago and now I’m presenting it in mp3 and podcast streaming mode today.

Enjoy!!

Run Time: 45 minutes

Converted from cassette. All vinyl, no digital. Mixtape originally done in 1993.

Run Time: approximately 50 minutes.

Heavy on "chunes" from the Rocksteady Era, then rocking out on some 80s and early 90s dancehall. You'll hear everything from John Holt, Alton Ellis, Marcia Griffiths, Yellowman, Sister Nancy, Supercat, Buju Banton, Ninjaman, Little Lenny and Shabba Ranks.

Running time: 1 hour 13 minutes.

Double Exposure
Loleatta Holloway

Cerrone
El Coco

I call this the "Brown Liquor Edition" because it's going to make you have to sip on something!!

If your heart has never been broken...if you've never been cheated on....if you've never thought of cheating...if you've never been enthralled into the throws of a heavy affair...if you never been engrossed in the pits of love and pain and seduction and a love-unrequited and the newness of a newfound infatuation or curiosity...then this episode is not for you, my friend!!

Running time: 1 hour 16 minutes
