ABL:Radio - When We Were Free - Mixed by Adam Smith (MP3)

Long time ago, there existed a place where people lived care-free -- the only laws governing the land were four-four beats and mandatory dancing until sun rise. On our episode this week, Adam Smith celebrates this magical land with a tour of classic house and acid from 1986 to 1993. A few weeks back, two crates of old house records fell into his hands when a well known DJ had to hightail it out of New York. It took a while for Adam to prune the crap and unearth this pile of gems. We hope you enjoy the results! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ D'Pac With Terence FM - I Wouldn't - Prescription, Tikkle - Movin On - House Jam, Lidell Townsell - Nu Nu - Clubhouse, Phase II - Reachin - Movin Records, Electribe 101 - Talking With Myself - Mercury, Logic - The Final Frontier - Strictly Rhythm, Jungle Wonz - The Jungle - Trax, Bobby Konders - The Lost Nu Groove Track - Nu Groove, A Guy Called Gerald - VooDoo Ray - Warlock, Jack Frost - Acid Tracks - Trax, Tomi D - You Are an Angel - Tresor, Maurice - This is Acid - Vendetta

ABL:Radio - Environ Environment - Mixed by Spankie Hazard (MP3)

Since 1991, Spankie has played to audiences at parties around Melbourne, Australia. From '96 to '03 he secured various residencies around the city with an 18-month break in Tokyo around the millennium. During his later years in Melbourne, he also did a radio show for 3RRR FM called “Walking In Rhythm” and wrote columns for Play/Inpress Magazine where he interviewed Francois K, Jazzy Jay, Roy Ayers and Steve "Silk" Hurley among others. In June '03, Spankie moved back to Tokyo and became a regular guest at Loop, Module and Ball playing his blends. In '05 he was invited to headline a special event, Jive Party, at Mint club in Shanghai. Spankie's mix was recorded as a tribute to Brooklyn's Environ record label run by Morgan Geist of Metro Area. Regular listeners who loved Attitude City's "Shake Your Rhombus," and Adam and Bethany's mixes will appreciate the soulful classics. Spankie also provided a few other mixes we will post in upcoming weeks as regular episodes and bonuses.

Genres: disco, garage, house, soul
