DEFCON #3.

Heading in your direction over the coming week will be the first online and terrestrial radio plays of the incredible full-length version of  Gregory Porter's '1960 What' Gerardo Frisina Cuban Soul Mix (10:34) from SoulandJazz.com Records. Brian Hurst will premier this Saturday on The Hurst Selection but cats like Gilles Peterson, Mike Chadwick and Norman Jay MBE will also be stepping up to the plate. It's gonna be big. Really BIG!

Meanwhile, we also have the digital only Radio Edit of '1960 What' about to get some love this week on Paul Cutting's Soulcuts 2012 and shows on WRFG in Atlanta with the men called DJ Ausar and DJ Tabone - nice one fellas.   

If you missed it last week, here's a tantalising first listen to an excerpt from the Radio Edit:

The track will be available through all the usual suspects - iTunes, Amazon, eMusic, etc, along with the big WAV version via Bandcamp.com as well. Nice. 

As mentioned last week, the full-length Gerardo Frisina Cuban Soul Mix will also be on the new compilation from SoulandJazz.com Records - The Hurst Selection Vol.2. The full track listing will be published next Monday and the album itself will be available from from September 10 (UK/Europe) & September 11 (US).

As for other stuff....Saturday rolled around once again with Brian Hurst delivering further weekend treats. The Hurst Selection which this time featured 23 tracks, wound up and ready to love your ears. There was crisp biscuits - lots of them, including in hour one freshness from Mint Condition, Nick Van Gelder, Ralf Gum, Bennetrhodes and DJ Kemit. There was classic jazz-funk flavours come from Grover Washington Jr. and Lesette Wilson plus 5 beauties from Earth, Wind & Fire. All 'N' All - pardon the pun, two hours of goodness that will please the most demanding of ears. By clicking the link you'll ensure the happiest of ears. Simple really.

Shall we?
