Time to freshen up the PCS soundtrack a bit. Mentioned in the last post, aside of the “3 job hustle” stuff, that my old roommate, B&C contributor (you know, spiritually, given how he doesn’t actually post much himself but tosses me a lot of tracks), and Scandinavian DJ superstar Sami Suova, aka “Schmami”, put together a nice little mix before leaving his native Finland to come back to New York City on a 2 week long record digging tour. He be ended his stay yesterday, Sunday, and flew back to Finland with enough 12″s to bring up some serious discussion about weight limits for luggage on international flights. He even tossed me an Avalanches 12″ I’ve been looking for for a bit (specifically, the Stereolab remix of “Since I Left You”, better than the original in most every possibly way).

Anyway, today I bring “Tracks Ahoy!”, Sami’s latest solo mix of shit-hot cosmic disco and old school house tracks. Think of a Beats In Space set on more of a Euro tip, I suppose. At one point we had a track listing for this mix, which I can’t actually find as I write up this post from an internet cafe on 6th St and 3rd Ave, but I’ll put it up in the Playlists section of the B&C site once we can put together a new list. It’s a funky mix, definitely deserves a good listen through (especially given that, in my opinion, the first track with the “big beat” breaks isn’t really indicative of the rest of the mix — make sure to listen past the first track for a better idea of what this mix is about). Pretty eclectic for the genre, and definitely some real gems in there, with a lot of other extremely dope tunes to keep the ride smooth.

So let’s get to it.
