JBX "Thanks For Waiting" - Exclusive Secret Rendezvous Mixtape!
Jared Boxx a.k.a. JBX of the world-famous ‘Big City Records’ record store here in the Big Apple just blessed Secret Rendezvous with the "Thanks for Waiting" mixtape. Jared has been one of the east coast’s most consistent record dealers over the past 10 years, honing his trade in New York’s well known ‘Sound Library’ before moving on to open his own boutique store in Alphabet City, Big City records. Jared also lit up dancefloors as one of the main DJs spinning rare tunes at Bumpshop, NYC's favorite rare funk and soul 7" party, and continues to drop vinyl heat Tuesdays at Savales in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
"Thanks for Waiting" is a magnificent mix of independent records, ranging from mid-tempo steppers, to slow tunes and dancers. All the records on this mix are bound together by their independent spirit, and ambition to produce lush recordings dripping with soul, while on a budget of course. This one is really special, I didn't know a lot of the tunes on here, and the ones I do recognize are only a painful reminder of how bad I need them in my collection. So sit back and soak up the tunes forgotten through time and limited resources, finally brought to our ears by JBX...

Tracklisting coming soon!

Minnie Riperton - Adventures in Paradise
Great Lp by the one and only Minnie. If you want to see the story behind her LP cover photograph, you need to watch this clip:
Cornelius Brothers & Sisters Rose - Since I Found My Baby
Shout out to Jared at Big City for hipping me to this beautiful tune.

Lemuria - Hunk of Heaven b/w Osore saves the day!
The other night at Puddin' we needed a last minute guest DJ to play the upstairs, which was left without Djs when the regularly scheduled party didn't show up. I called my buddy Osore who was on his way to Puddin', who gladly obliged to return home, and pick up up some records to come back and spin. When I go out at night, I want to hear music of this caliber on every level. Special thanks to Osore for coming through in a pinch, and playing such beautiful music upstairs at Puddin'!

Tonight in NYC!
Exclusive Mixes and new content coming to Secret Rendezvous very soon...
Tammi Terrell - All I Do Is Think About You
This monster original version of the tune was not released by Motown until decades later when it appeared on a Motown CD. Originally written by Stevie Wonder for Tammi, Stevie later went on to record his own version which was obviously a smash hit record.
Special thanks to Young Chris from Big City Records for playing this at the Bump Shop Finale party this past Saturday and hipping me to this version. Enjoy this beautiful tune...
