Here is the BSB show for July!
Inside get a glimpse of some of the hottest tracks I have added to my collection over the past 30 days.
There is a two song look back into the private gig for a friends birthday in Orange County.
Plus we finish off the mix with a Baltimore House Music Legend.
Last night I recorded the latest #BSB show. It was the first from my temporary location in Long Beach, CA.
It was little rough to start as I did not pack a regular microphone. But I still was able to pull out the old school trick of using headphones as a mic.
You can download it for your busy weekend. The streaming replay can be had on the next Mixcloud Monday.
My latest #BSB show was posted not too long ago. It was a bit late as I was mourning the lost of a dear friend and someone who I was engaged to at one point recently. Due to some extenuating circumstances, I called off the engagement.
However, her influence in my life is greater than many even in my inner circle may have realized until recently. As kids one of our favorite past times was seeing if we could surprise each other with new music. It was a ‘thing’ we resumed doing as adults after we reconnected and then more so after becoming engaged to one another.
I don’t recall too many songs, bands, or producers that she would pick that I didn’t like–and I am talking about ones that I had no clue about and likely I would not have come across based on the way I digitally or physically crate dig.
Anyway, I start off the BSB0028 with SOTOM (Sandy’s Version).
This track originally grabbed me for it’s sublime yet understated flavor. It hits you but not too hard.

Think of it like the warmth of sunshine on your face in late winter or early spring. Soothing. Warm. Inviting. But certainly not beating you down with oppressive heat as it can be in the middle of summer.
I included it in this mix because it started to lift the energy of the compilation as a whole while leaving plenty of head room for the journey.
I never knew that when I thought of this idea for this track that it would turn out to be very apropos. I am speaking about this age of so-called “Alternative Facts”.
It is indeed fact “At some point you have to choose between life and fiction. The two are very close, but they never actually touch.”
Yes, I dream. It’s not that I don’t. Rather I don’t live in dream land. Instead I rather actively work toward making those dreams a reality.
Where those dreams can be actualized is good. Where life points elsewhere, only a fool would continue to rail against life as if it was a personal vendetta.
Just being stuck in ‘dream land’ doesn’t gain you anything and one is not being a student of life.
What dream are you pursuing and turning into life? How has a life lesson altered a dream?
