Gene Hunt – Live at the Freakeasy 5-22-2010

Photo courtesy of Carol K!We were thrilled to have Chicago house legend and longtime illmeasures friend Gene Hunt out for Freakeasy #18.  The party people who threw down on the dancefloor were pretty psyched as well.  As always with Gene it was a tasty mix of old and new served up in brilliant fashion.  We’ve been schooled once again :)

Jugoe – Live at the Beatmaven Launch

For our first guest mix, illmeasures is thrilled to present a cat who has been dropping illness for many, many years.  We originally became aware of his work from a series of EPs on Brooklyn Based Bastard Jazz Recordings.  A master of the boom bap – it wasn’t until we booked him to spin a few years ago that his deep dancefloor knowledge became apparent to us…  The set we are featuring here goes through the realms of downtempo, jazz, disco and soul…with a definite eye to the groove.
