This is a mix in tribute to my friend Sean Haley. I was going to save it for the anniversary of his passing or his birthday but the inference then is that’s the only time we think of him and i’m sure for many people that isn’t the case. It’s based on a list of his favourite 15 albums. I don’t doubt it would’ve been a list that could’ve changed daily. I only wish he was still here with us to update it. DJ Sean Haley forever ✊🏽❤️

Episode 76: Sean’s House ( A Tribute to DJ Sean Haley ) Mixed by AllyAl

AllyAl — Sat, 28 Jan 2023 10:51:27 +0000

Foreword by Scorpeze, Sean’s friend and collaborator

" Chicago is the birthplace of House music. Chicago is synonymous with House music. DJ Sean Haley is synonymous with both. As a native of Chicago, Sean was fiercely loyal to both the city and the music that shaped him. It is because of Sean that I discovered and fell in love with deep, or as they call it now, soulful House music. I learned how to produce House music because of Sean's influence. We produced records together as the production team Windimoto. Now that Sean has departed this earth for another plane of existence, I continue to produce House music. Sean's power of influence is not only stamped on my soul but most people he came in contact with. I'm certain that our dear friend AllyAl can bear witness to Sean's influence. This mix that Al put together oozes Sean's musical essence. Furthermore, we don't need a special date or milestone to give honor to our friend. That is because the ache of Sean's absence will always remain until we see him again. Our love for him is everlasting. Welcome to Sean's House... "

So last weekend i was looking through some old CD-R’s and I found one that my friend Sean sent about 12/ 13 years ago. Lots of great House Music. I thought it would be a nice idea to put mix together as a tribute to him. I’ve always wanted to do something and this felt right. So please enjoy 75 minutes of Soulful/ Vocal, Latin infused, Chicago Techno and a smidgen of Acid House ( also includes a couple of Sean solo joints and tracks with his partner in crime Scorpeze as Windimoto ) DJ Sean Haley forever ✊

Hope all is well with you and you’re all staying safe

This is my tribute to Madlib, one of the best Hip Hop producers to ever do it imo. Back in the late 90’s me and mate Rees used to make each other mixtapes. We’d try and one up each other by finding mint tunes that other the one hadn’t heard. So spent a lot of time buying underground Hip Hop cd’s. We stumbled on an album called Superrappin’, the stand out track being New Years Resolution by Lootpack. Had never heard of them before but was impressed with a producer that would take on a Preemo sample. Their album Soundpieces : Da Antidote followed and the rest is history. Tunes spanning the last 22 years, please enjoy my Madlib retrospective….

“Blood’s thicker than mud, it’s a family affair”

One of my favourite and possibly one of the most influential groups of all time, Sly & the Family Stone. Formed in San Fransisco in 1966, the first major American group to have a racially integrated and male/ female line up. This tribute mix features music from their first 5 albums “A Whole New Thing” “Dance To The Music” “Life” “Stand !” and “There’s A Riot Goin’ On” 1967 to 1971. Also the albums that included the original lineup, Sly, Freddie and Rose Stone, Greg Errico, Jerry Martini, Cynthia Robinson and Larry Graham, trailblazers

So please enjoy and hours worth of Funk and Psychedelic Soul, some obvious choices, some not so

Episode 41: The Many Masks of DOOM : The Music of MF DOOM : Mixed by AllyAl

Howdy

Hope all is well with you

So, on New Years Eve we learned the sad news that Daniel Dumile aka MF DOOM had passed away, gone back to the essence. Had been a massive fan of his music from the KMD days but it was really when he created the DOOM persona he hit genius levels imo. A totally unique artist who will be greatly missed

For this tribute I went deep into his catalogue, featuring music by all his personas, DOOM, Viktor Vaughn and King Geedorah, and some of my favourite guest appearances, working with other artists. Probably a mix more for aficionados than casual fans but if you're a first time listener, might be a good place to start. RIP MF DOOM

So without further ado, please enjoy...and always remember, all caps when you spell the man name

Free Your Mind : Funkadelic, Westbound 70-75 : Mixed by AllyAl

AllyAl — Thu, 16 Feb 2017 17:39:05 +0000

"If you will suck my soul, I will lick your funky emotions"

and so it began...

First signed to Westbound in 68 and dropped their first album ( Funkadelic ) in 1970. There where various line ups over the next 5 years but the quality of the recorded output always remained the same high standard. The mix features music from their their first seven albums with Westbound, Funkadelic, Free Your Mind ( And Your Ass Will Follow ), Maggot Brain, America Eats It Young, Cosmic Slop, Standing on the Verge of Gettin it on and Let's Take It To The Stage ( I didn't include Tales of Kidd Funkadelic because it was released after the band left Westbound for Warner Brothers, and it was contractual obligation as oppose a labour of funky love, plus it was hard enough breaking down 7 albums into a mix !!! :D )

The mix features many of my favourite tracks from that period and I've chosen the tunes with more of a guitar heavy lean. The Funk however, was never faked. Probably my favourite group of all time, please enjoy a different kind of SOUL !! The Funkadelic on Westbound Records

Tracklisting

Intro
Mommy, What's A Funkadelic ?
Super Stupid
Trash a Go Go
Red Hot Mama/ Vital Juices
Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On
Alice In My Fantasies
