SOUND TRAVELER SERIES #21 FT. DJ PRESTIGE (FLEAMARKET FUNK)
It's always an honor to be asked to do a guest mix. When Junior reached out from Record Breakin' to be included in the Sound Traveler mix series, I wanted to do something a bit different. Although I am primarily known for dusty 45s of the funk and soul kind, I am a huge music fan all around. Like Break Beat Lou always says: "Always A Student", and it's completely true. You can't have every record, know every artist, or say 'got it!" on every genre. You can learn something every day and make a go of it. That's what I do. I find out about one record or artist in a genre I didn't know much about and try to learn as much as I can about them just about every day. I am partial to funky music so that's what I tired to stay true to on this special mix. This mix itself is a bastion of music that is funky in their own way that I have discovered over the past years throughout the world. Whether it's a Turkish track by Baris Manco, introduced to me by the talented producer/ musician and a guy I call my friend, Alpman, who is making amazing music every day (and included on this mix as well) in Turkey under oppressive conditions, pre-disco gospel soul classics from David Mancuso's crates, African funk, mellow library music, French organ sleaze, the mighty Sun Ra, Brazilian gold from Greg Caz and Cultures of Soul, or mellow seaside disco sampled by Dilla, I tried to get on a different trip this time. I couldn't get away from my hip hop roots though, and had to include a track from Ultramagnetic and from the near perfect Wildflower record from The Avalanches feat. The Biz. I want my mixes to be as eclectic as they can be with that common denominator of the funky drummer on each. Every single track on this mix smacked me across the face the first time I heard it, and if you haven't heard some of these songs, I hope they do the same.
This mix was recorded all live in one take at Greenville Studios in Jersey City, NJ, There are imperfections, skips, drops, and everything else that can happen when you're live. I don't really believe in making a perfect mix, you only get one chance to do it live. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did making it. Thanks to the Record Breakin' family for including me in this series. Keep Diggin'!

SOUND TRAVELER SERIES #20 FT. Gabriel Jermaine Vanlandingham-Dunn
Recently, I was asked by my dear friend Junior to do a mix for Record Breakin' Music. I'm honored to have known this cat for about a decade, and even more so to provide a few tunes that mean a lot to me. Inspired by David Adams' artwork for the Dali 7" (included here), I pulled out a few pieces from my personal collection that remind me of parks. As it goes, most of these tunes have gotten some serious play while people watching, meditating, and meeting good folk in large, green public spaces. There are some funky jawns, happy jawns, sad jawns, loud jawns, and quiet jawns, but all of these jawns are ones I hold near and dear, for one reason or another. No Logic and no reissues, just wax played at the tempo it was supposed to be enjoyed at.
I hope it moves you.
Best,
Gabriel Jermaine Vanlandingham-Dunn

Record Breakin' Music Favorite Releases of 2016
OK, OK, lets just admit it...YES, 2016 was an interesting year on so many levels. Some good, some bad. I have always found music as a refuge and inspiration. I got such a great response from my 2015 list that I decided to try and put a small list together this year. Well, so much for that. As I took time to really reflect on the year I realized that there has been some amazing music that was released in 2016. Similar to last year, I took a look at the releases I have bought (my wife will tell you about my addiction to buying music, especially physical releases) and the ones that were sent to me. (Now is probably a good time to say THANK YOU to all the labels and artist that have sent me promos. It is MUCH APPRECIATED but does not influence if they made the list or not. Good music is good music.)
Anyway, if you listen to my weekly radio show Eavesdrop Radio [Fridays on 91.7FM from 6-9PM (EST)] that I co-host with lil' dave this list isn't really a surprise. This list is in no particular order but does reflect releases I went back to over and over throughout the year. It's great that so many of these releases came out on vinyl and some even on cassette. I encourage you to click on the artwork to find out more about these projects and support their music.
I wish you all the best for the New Year and look forward to hearing more amazing music in 2017. I know Record Breakin' Music has some tricks up their sleeves as we get ready to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. Thank you to the entire artists on this list and the labels for releasing music that has been our soundtrack for the year and years to come!

Pat Van Dyke Bio:
Pat Van Dyke is a drummer, composer, producer, and band leader. Equally comfortable behind the drum kit, as he is penning compositions at the Fender Rhodes, PVD balances the rhythmic intensity of true-school hip hop with the rich harmony & refreshing subtlety of jazz. Drawing from a diverse palette of sounds, Pat’s music features live instrumentation alongside analog synthesizers, lush horns, and vintage keyboards, straddling the boundaries of electronic music, jazz, and golden era hip-hop.
Pat's music has been praised by tastemakers and DJs around the globe such as Gilles Peterson, Bobbito Garcia, & DJ Spinna, as well as being featured on such TV networks as FOX, NBC, MTV, VH1, & Comedy Central, and providing the soundtrack to viral videos from the likes of VICE Magazine & Jerry Seinfeld’s “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee”.
Along with a rotating cast of NYC's finest musicians, PVD has brought his unique LIVE blend of soul-jazz & organic hip-hop to packed houses at The Blue Note, S.O.B's, NJPAC, The Knitting Factory, Southpaw, as well as other venues; large & small, throughout NYC & beyond. Recent releases include two full length LPs; ‘Technicolor HI-FI’ (Cotter Records), ‘Right On Time’ (Jakarta Records - Germany), a limited edition vinyl 7" with (mc) John Robinson entitled "Miles & Trane": a hip hop tribute to the two jazz legends, as well as a 7” Vinyl Release with the legendary DJ Spinna.
DJ Prestige Bio:
DJ Prestige has toured nationally as a DJ for the Lava/ Atlantic record label as well as opened for such diverse artists as Q-Tip, Bad Brains, and Joss Stone among many others while also doing parties for corporate clients such as Google, You Tube, KIA, Adidas, Universal Pictures, Victoria’s Secret, Major League Soccer, Nixon, Corbis, The Bethanny Frankel Show, SoulCycle, The Surfrider Foundation and more. Based out of Jersey City, NJ, he currently can be seen in residencies at the Ace Hotel in NYC as well as parties around the country. He is a Production Coordinator and Contributing writer on Dust & Grooves: Adventures In record Collecting, the first photo book on vinyl collectors and their collections by photographer Eilon Paz. He has been featured on the site, contributed exclusive all vinyl mixes and live sets to their events, as well as a featured writer in the second edition with an interview with Questlove and his record collection.
Prestige’s DJ style crosses genres like a good mix tape: Hip Hop, Rock, Funk, Soul, Reggae and beyond blend together seamlessly as he pays tribute to the philosophy of Bronx in the 1970’s. A time where there were no musical boundaries, only good music that brought a diverse audience together and kept them moving and grooving all night long.

Pat Van Dyke - Let the Horns Blow (EP)
Limited Edition 7" vinyl and Digital
If we could calculate the damage done by human civilization in the name of progress or culture, it would probably be done in a way that would affirm our past and trajectory. The dystopian narrative that we ghost wrote through political mouthpieces would by polished up into shiny abstractions. Lost would be the blemishes and punch drunk love with profit and power dances.
But the music doesn’t lie. Music. The music that spans generations and casts longer shadows past the labels and trends, always tells the truth. The people who listen to the music as the hills hear cloud movement – who hear the music as the Earth listens to languages – for them…the music tells the real story. They aren’t lost in rhetoric and false dialogue. Beats and keys and horns and breaks and FUNK. Therein lies the truth. This is the true culture of human civilization. The language of progress is in the progression of chords and formulas of harmony.
The conductors of these manifestations of harmonious truths should be looked upon with reverence for their contributions. Truth speakers that are heard in dimly lit bars and brightly lit gatherings of audiophiles that understand their tongue are the mark of human accomplishment.
Enter Pat Van Dyke. Composer. Arranger. Producer. Prophet for the culture we call Music. This isn’t sound philosophy, this is a testament to human civilization. It’s not just FUNK. It’s a declaration of sovereignty in individual instrumentation funneled into 4 tracks of afro-beat; down, curve and right back up of the U in the FUNK. Writing and playing keys, drums, bass, guitar and percussion…the outcome was obvious – conquer from every angle. In fact, the only other players in this testimony of our times were Peter Lin (trombone), Richard Polatchek (trumpet), Bryan Beninghove (Tenor / Baritone Sax)…and though they were the horns in Let The Horns Blow, it was in the mind of Pat that these parts were born. In a departure from what we have come to expect from PVD over the course of his past few declarations on wax, less keyboard and synth are found between the grooves of his latest truth. Yet, the vibe still exists. The essence and nuance that we listen for is there. Whether written on keys, or as in the case of LTHB, on guitar…it’s absolutely the sound to counter the misleading representations of who we are as a musical culture. All stories begin somewhere and this one was composed, recorded and mixed in Jersey City, NJ with stereo mastering by Alessandro Perrotta (AVP Audio Engineering). Where you take it is anyone’s guess. What’s important is the story being told and shared. Because this is our culture and only we can keep the light aflame.
