Radio Ready--Sorted--Seasons Change Vol. 2


The first time (and the last time) we featured Atlanta DJ Sorted was in October 2009. So we thought it was a good time to bring him back.

From his Bio:
Jamie Andersen aka Sorted has been rocking Atlanta dancefloor's for half a decade. Heavily influenced at a young age by nights spent in the notorious London clubs fabric and The End. Sorted came back to the states eager to spread Europe's sounds to the masses.

Bursting on the Atlanta scene in 2005 Sorted quickly joined the http://www.404audio.com crew becoming one of the cities premier Drum and Bass DJ's. Cutting his teeth at the now infamous Transit club nights, Sorted learned the importance of building a vibe, while keeping dancefloor sensibility.

After building a name in Atlanta's underground, Sorted quickly found the need to branch into other genre's. You can hear a mix of House, Indie, and other genres in almost every mix he creates. For now enjoy, DJ Sorted's "Season's Change Vol. 2" recorded December 2010

The Stash 38--Miles Maeda--Painting, Side 1

One of my favorite House Music cassettes (yes, I said cassettes) was Chicago DJ Miles Maeda's "Painting." I bought it in 2001, even though it was recorded in 1997 and I fell in love. I couldn't find anymore of his music, and 6 years later, that cassette wore away. I guess playing it all the time and leaving it in a hot car in Georgia didn't help.

Well, while I was sick last month, I went trolling and found Miles Maeda Mixes.com. There Miles had all of his past and current mixes, including "Painting." Miles is currently based in Tokyo, Japan. As far as I can tell from his Facebook, he's ok, but there is a link on his Facebook and his website to donate to relief efforts in Japan, so please consider it.

So I'm featuring Side 1 this month and Side 2 soon. Enjoy!
