HOT WAX, the Bay Area all styles all vinyl party, continues 3rd Thursdays of the month at 222 Hyde in San Francisco. This time around, you’re in for a real treat as we present to you and yours the HOT WAX Groove Merchant Session. The crew behind the register of not only our favorite local record store, but beatmakers and tastemakers worldwide, will be behind the decks on this special night to help celebrate the Groove Merchant’s 20th anniversary this year. Cool Chris, Vinnie Esparza, B Cause and Jon Blunck not only are nice at the shop but nice on the selections, bringing the rarest soul, funk, disco, psych, boogie, reggae and Latin from all over the world and putting it down on wax at discerning dancefloors all over the city. Expect to hear top shelf tunes that will keep you movin’ all night long from our good friends…who just happen to be longtime collector connoisseurs and party rockers with an ear for what’s poppin’. We’re excited to get down to what the Groove Merchant has in store for HOT WAX, a rare and special occasion the whole crew will be playing together, and to enjoy it all on 222’s world class soundsystem…get your soul in shape!

This edition of propsRadio is one for the history books. My man Marky and I brought together a handful of our favorite DJs in San Francisco, all with their own special blend of styles and sensibilities, to rock together for the first time under one roof, and for the last time at Poleng. What you’re about to hear is all the way live, a lasting document of the soul and goal of Poleng, bringing the people together…and in this case, SF’s music elite…playing all vinyl, all heat. We recorded the whole thing and now we share it with you, three 90 minute mixes, 30 minute sets each, from 12 DJs who still rock records…hard. It may be last call at Poleng as a place…but this music will last forever. We will miss you Poleng. (via Freddy Anzures from propsRadio)

SOUL POWER is a verité documentary about the legendary Zaïre ’74 music festival leading up to the infamous “Rumble in the Jungle” heavyweight championship bout between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman. It depicts the experiences and performances of such musical luminaries as James Brown, BB King, Bill Withers, Celia Cruz, among a host of others. At the peak of their talents and the height of their careers, these artists were inspired by this return to their African roots, as well as the enthusiasm of the Zaïrian audience, to give the performances of their lives.
