This mix is dedicated to all the lovers in the world, but especially one special lady who has made my life seem all the more beautiful and blessed the past couple months. Love is a beautiful thing. It has a way of changing the lens through which we see the world. Whether it's a lover, a mother, a brother or a friend, I hope this mix inspires you share some love with someone.

It's been a while since I've posted a mix, but I haven't forgotten about the Afro-Marc Podcast at all. A lot has happened in my life since my last mix was posted. I've travelled across the world, dealt with some pretty major challenges, and grown a lot as a person. I tried to make this mix a reflection of my new and improved view on the world. Songs like Celebrate, Umi Says, and I Got Sunshine all tell a story. I hope you dig it, and stay tuned for more mixes to come (brought to you by the Afrobeat Blog and Afro-Marc Productions). 1.

2012 is fast approaching, it's time we take notice of where we're headed, where we are, and what need to do to go where we would like.

At long last, I'm ready to post a new episode of the Afro-Marc Podcast! I'm deeply apologetic for abandoning the cause for so long. I've recently relocated to Thailand where I'm living at a yoga school. As such, it's taken me a while to feel grounded and in control of my surroundings. I've been here about a month now, so I feel like I'm ready to kick out the jams on a regular basis once again. It's fitting I get back into it with an episode entirely composed of meditation and yoga music. This is forty minutes of music designed to allow you to harness the power of your mind. Meditate on your third eye as you listen to the Gayatri Mantra. Namaste (Brought to you by The Afrobeat Blog and Afro-Marc Productions). 1. The Gayatri Mantra PS - Don't worry, the funk will return soon!

Let me start by apologizing for not posting a mix in over a month. I have no excuse. I do however have a dope ass mix for all of you who have been waiting all this time. I have to give a shout to Chuck Wild over at Mixtape Riot because I've included several tracks in this mix which I copped from him. We kick things off with a remix of one my favorite funk songs of all time, Brothers Gonna Work It Out from The Mack Soundtrack. We also feature some love from The Funk Ark, The Pimps of Joytime, and M.anifest (Brought to you by The Afrobeat Blog and Afro-Marc Productions). 1. Brothers Gonna Work It Out (7 Samurai Edit) - Willie Hutch 2. How i used to be - M.anifest ft. Mandi 3. Las Cuatro Palomas (Geko Jones & Reaganomics Remix) 4.

I'd like to dedicate this episode to my newborn nephew Luke. It's to meet him in person as well as to see Chico Mann and Afrika Bambaataa tear it up at Le Poisson Rouge July 28th that I'll be back in NY at the end of July. As such we kick things off with a Bambaataa track followed up with Chico Mann. From there on out we feature some Captain Planet, and the title track from The Polyrhythmics' new album, Labrador (Brought to you by The Afrobeat Blog and Afro-Marc Productions). 1.

This episode is all jams made for a roller disco party. I went to my first roller disco party in Central park about three summers ago, and I'll never forget the fly ass moves these cats were bustin out. Ever since I heard the first cut on this mix, I've been dyin to get my own roller disco party on and poppin. It will happen sometime soon, so keep your ear to the ground for some fly ass beats...until then, dig this (Brought to you by The Afrobeat Blog and Afro-Marc Productions). 1.
