REPOST - Joseph Colbourne Mix For Secret Rendezvous!

REPOST - Didn't Want This One To Get Lost In The Shuffle


Joseph is one of the few DJs in Boston keeping that proper disco vibe alive. He ran a deep dance music party called Colors, ran an online radio show with American Apparell, has laced the internet with some nice disco and boogie mixes, and rocked it as our very first special guest at Foreal People in NYC as well. So it is only fitting that he is my first official Secret Rendezvous exclusive guest mixtape.
Props to Joe for doing it right in beantown. I've got to make my way out there soon and go gangbusters at a party soon too. If you are out in Boston be sure to catch one of his sets. Check http://www.myspace.com/colbourne for gig updates, and Enjoy the mix!

Sir Hannett's "From The Shore...Look At The Stars" Exclusive Secret Rendezvous Mix

Every once in a while you meet an original sounding DJ that refuses to follow trends, possesses EQ and sound system manipulation skills, incorporates crafty story telling and has the countless years of experience and confidence to separate himself from the rest of the bearded herd.  Greenpoint, Brooklyn's very own Sir Hannett is one such DJ.  We don't exactly dig for the same records, or styles all the time, but we do share is the same attitude and passion for our music digging and DJ'ing philosphies.  Always sonically pleasing to the ear drum, always digging up something you nu-disco-cosmic-indie-rock kids slept on, always keeping the girls on the floor, the boys train spotting, and always making the Greenpoint residents happy they didn't take a taxi to Manhattan that night.

(A pic I like of Sir Hannett and I jamming out at Cocoa 66 during one of his infamous "Let It Bleed" weekly parties in Brooklyn last year, balancing our own obsessions while keeping the dancers happy as pigs in shit.)

This one will especially please the Cosmic heads, the Indie dance kids and there are definitely Garage aka Larry inspired moments in there too, done in a Hannett style of course.


Indulge yourself, and watch this space for updates on Sir Hannett's upcoming parties!
