MELLOW MADNESS WITH DJ NEVILLE C

Here is a super groovy mix by DJ Neville C. (aka Neal Becton), the owner of one of D.C.'s finest record shops, Som Records. Mix was recorded for the Mellow Madness show on WRIR 97.3 in Richmond, VA.

THE MAN IN QUESTION: DJ NEVILLE C.

Tracks range from Brazilian tunes and obscure Soul cuts, to hard-to-find Reggae, Latin & African jams, and whatever else Neal felt like dropping. All are seven inch record, all original vinyl. Neal is a beast and has a mind-blowing collection. Ever heard Ronnie Jones' cover of Rodriguez's 'Sugar Man' @ around the 41 minute (halfway) mark?! Me neither. Killer, like the whole mix.

We actually scored a few of the records in this set together on a little digging expedition in Sao Paulo, Brazil. (Hey, Edson!) His store is bad ass, too! If you are in the DC area, drop in. Tell 'em Clark Quente sent you. Oh, almost forgot, check out his monthly Brazilian party (Brazilian Rhythms) at Cafe Saint-Ex.

LISTEN and LEARN and GROOVE!
