This may sound like a change of pace from my normal mixtape selection.  But I have featured Eli Escobar when he hijacked Mark Ronson’s Authentic Shit show on East Village Radio.  And as always, the Mark Ronson EVR sessions are a good listen.  My advice is to throw this on after lunch when the food coma kicks in.  It’ll be your aural Red Bull to keep you going for the rest of your day in the office.  Enjoy.

Make the leap for track listing.

Brooklyn is home to many talented musicians. Name a genre and the BK got it covered. Biggie, The Rapture, In Flagranti, Hercules & Love Affair… The list can go on, but let’s focus on today’s Throwback musical outfit. I discovered Dr. Buzzard’s Old Savannah Band from listening to Dj Neil Armstrong’s “Original” mixtape cd over at Reed Space a few years back. Original is crack and so is the single, Cherchez La Femme. The band may have only seen three years of success before going their separate ways. But watch the video and see why they’ve been sampled by the likes of De La Soul, Doug E. Fresh and Ghostface Killah.

For this week’s Mixtape Monday, I wanted something that has the qualities of a lazy Sunday. MDY’s mixtape is a medley of rnb, disco, electrofunk, crunk and italo disco. Having seen In Flagranti on the playlist was a big influence on my Mixtape Monday choice. You’re not going to want to work after hearing this mix a few times. Enjoy and thanks Miss Toats!
