Last Sunday we had some warm weather and I rode with a couple buddies from the NYC Fixed.gr forum out to Floyd Bennett field and Jacob Riis beach.  There was a spectacular sunset at the beach and I asked CyclingWMD to take some “bike porn” pictures of my Fuji Track Pro.  It’s evolved a bit since I last posted about it: I’ve switched to Syntace bullhorn bars, clipless Shimano pedals, and a black Dura-Ace 47T chainring.  And I added a carbon HED3 Tri-spoke front wheel.  This bike is so fast and comfortable now, having evolved into exactly the right fit for me and a joy to ride.

Here’s a build I threw together the other day from parts I had around the house.  It’s a 2007 Bianchi Pista frame that was powdercoated red.  I added a Sugino Messenger crankset, BMX platform pedals with clips and doubles traps, a brown leather Concor Max saddle, flat bars w/ Oury grips, and a flip-flop wheelset.  I found a nice old Shimano side-pull caliper brake for the front as well.  The NYC “pistadex” took a nose dive this morning when I sold it for $310.

ildiscotto

Martin Verlaan has mixed every single release from the legendary (and long gone) italo disco label Il Discotto Productions into a single awesome megamix!  DJ James Stacher describes this mix perfectly:

“25 years of italy’s best dance label, listening to it makes me feel like the last starfighter on vacation in Ibiza.”

I have been sitting on this mix for a long time. Encoded from the original cassette I bought in London circa 1998, here is DJ Kofi’s “Taking You Back” mix. It’s a flawless 80 minute set of classic funk, soul, and disco breaks, scratched, juggled, and mixed by the DMC champion turntablist.

I’ve searched all over the ‘net and never seen this mix available anywhere, so enjoy the exclusive! No track list is available, but I promise you that this will become one of your favorite old school mixes ever!

(From Dusty Groove) Funky madness! This one’s exactly what is says — a live mix, recorded by this hip funky combo, sort of a mixtape of classic funky tunes, all slammed together in one massive performance! Breakestra run through some of the biggest funky 45s of the 60s and 70s, jamming hard in one live to tape performance that takes us back to the classic days of the JBs grooving in the studio with James Brown. Plenty of choppy guitars, hot bubbly organ, sweet keyboard licks, and hard heavy horns throughout!

DJ Moneyshot – Mother’s Ruin

Here’s a rare achievement – an eclectic DJ mix of classic rock that flows impeccably and is addictive and uplifting.  Moneyshot crafts a masterpiece with the “Mother’s Ruin” mix, blending The Doors, The Cure, ZZ Top, the Bee Gees, Billy Joel, the Monkeys, Creedence, Steely Dan and many, many more.  This is a mix for all seasons, energetic and playful, and it reminds me of the kinds of hand-made pause button mix tapes I’d give to girls in high school.  If you dig, Moneyshot’s got a lot more in here.
