On any given Friday, Cool Your Jets Creative releases a new Fresh Friday. a hot and tasty vinyl mixtape with a custom cover. Tracks range from jazz to soul to hip-hop and beyond, with nearly every song ripped from original pressing vinyl, where each pop from the static patina tells a story of that record’s journey.
All Because
2014 wouldn’t have that new car smell without the sparkle-fresh soul of Johnnie Taylor, Roy Ayer’s Ubiquity, The Crusaders, Junior Parker & Jimmy McGriff, Booker T. & the M.G.’s, The Loving Sisters, and Al Green. Because it ain’t whatcha got, it’s what you do with whatcha got that makes it groovy, baby.
Miles Away
It’s been a stretch since I’ve posted a new mix, and there couldn’t be a better occasion. Today, we travel across the planet to meet our boy. This is our soundtrack… powered by the soul of Labi Siffre, Mulatu Astatke, Manu Dibango, Letta Mbulu, and Aretha Franklin, among others.
Morningwood
Fresh Friday was so Fresh, it has spilled over into Monday, positive and proud, with different strokes delivered by the likes of Bob Dylan, the Merry-Go-Rounds, Ghostface Killah, The Commodores, Gil Scott-Heron, and a few deep groove surprises…co-mixed by db!
1 2 3 4
It’s time to count it off, as Fresh Friday blasts off this week with purpose, fueled by the premium-unleaded-soul of Mantronix, Eugene Record, Buddy Rich, Bob James with Patti Austin, Labi Siffre, Bernard “Pretty” Purdie, Serge Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin, and Willie Bobo & the Bo-Gents!
In This Modern Age
Help ring in the fresh New Year with this funk-injected mix, scientifically calibrated to 13… abetted by the super-soul of The Galactic Force Band, Gloria Jones, Minnie Riperton, The Blackbyrds, David T. Walker, Grant Green, and Reebop!
