Yes, people! After last month’s epic Toneburst reunion<\/a>, we’re keeping the Beat Research<\/a> torch aloft with a very special session this Wednesday, August 29, featuring local DJ heroine Philomena (aka Ivanna B), mic-rocker Cathy Cathodic, & all the way from DC, a sistren from a kindred crew, the one & only DJ Bent<\/a> from Anthology of Booty<\/a>! <\/p>\n

\"DJ<\/a><\/p>\n

In true BR spirit, Bent will be bringing along a presentational slideshow as featured in previous #djgeekouts<\/a> hosted by the Anthology of Booty, most recently at the Allied Media Conference<\/a>. Never shy about starting a serious convo<\/a> about booty music, Bent reliably keeps things real, oo you can be sure that you’ll be getting a balanced meal of content and context this Wednesday, just how we like it. <\/p>\n

For now, here’s a taste of Bent’s approach, an anti-jingoistic mix called “Can You Play Some Songs in English Please?” (a great title & one reason a slideshow could prove at least as good as, say, a t-shirt that reads “No Requests” on the front and “Happy Birthday” on the back):<\/p>\n

While we’re here (especially given the slow crawl of this blog lately), allow me to bring to your attention a couple other Beat Research-related treats. First up is a mix of my own I recently uploaded — and was thrilled to have played as part of the soundtrack to this past Saturday’s amazing nomadic Pic\u00f3 Picante<\/a> ride (alongside some other tasty mixes, also embedded on that page). It’s the set I played at Pajaritos<\/a>‘ party back in June, a wonderful excuse to geek out on some dancehall and reggaeton faves, mixed up with more recent floor-burners just for good measure. You can stream it via the Lil Birds’ Soundcloud<\/a>, or DL the MP3<\/a> directly, or do a little digital trainspotting at this video version<\/a>. <\/p>\n
