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.
The Breakdown
This week's Fresh Friday offers a restorative amuse-bouche to cleanse the stark and acidic palate that was two thousand sixteen, featuring the ambrosial tones of Public Enemy, Rufus Thomas, Oliver Nelson, Freddie Hubbard, Eric B. & Rakim, the J.B.'s, The Beach Boys with J Dilla, Miles Davis, and Sly & the Family Stone!
It's My House and I Live Here
This week's Fresh Friday is a life raft atop a torrent of "the fuck?," kept afloat by the soulful prowess of Wee, The Blackbyrds, Curtis Mayfield, Diana Ross, Goody Goody, Donald Byrd, Ricardo Marrero & The Group, and Madonna.
Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye
This week's Fresh Friday is a lit match in the dark, too weak to brighten a path forward, but enough to illuminate those around us, a nod that we're in this together. Ignited by the sparks of Jimi Hendrix, Roberta Flack, Tina Turner, Dionne Warwick, Syreeta, The Stylistics, Ann Peebles, Merry Clayton, and Bernice Reagon.
Where Have You Been?
When drowning in a sea of sorrow, sad songs aren't the undertow...they give the ability to breath underwater.
