If you're familiar with my "Qualified Elegant" mixes on my page, the girl in the picture for this mix should look familiar. Again it's Geraldine Visco (Gerry Visco), a very good friend of mine from her days as a fastionista here in New York City in the 70's. The photographer is Bobby Busnach. I met Bobby though Gerry's connection online, and came to find out that he was a studio rat, producing machine back in the cut and splice tape days. He also worked at the famed Rock and Soul Record store in manhattan with Walter Gibbons and other like minded music heads who also dabbled in the studio. Bobby graciously gave me a lot of his re-edits that he's done over the years, and i felt the need to put them in mix form to share with the world. This is an hour or so mix, but it's only about 7 records as his re-edits take you on a hypnotic journey. This is Pt. 1. Check out these and more at http://soundcloud.com/bobby-busnach. Classic mixes before the computer age of editing. Enjoy the ride.

This is the third and final mix of the "Qualified Elegant" trifecta. Another serious deep, slow, club/disco mix. And one more time, the amazing picture that accompany's this mix is of a very good friend of mine, the unpredictable and awesome Gerry Visco (google her....she's fabulous), as a stunner of the 70's fashion movement. It, along with alot of other incredible images of her that you'll have to search for, was taken by the very talented Bobby Busnach who has history not only as a photographer, but is deep in music (http://soundcloud.com/bobby-busnach) and having worked at storied nyc vinyl havens such as Downstairs Records with Walter Gibbons, and the pre-golden age of Rock and Soul store in midtown. Bump and pass.

Some of the 2nd batch of records i picked out to spin last friday night at the So Ho House in manhattan, nyc. Enjoy the bumpin' ride.

Part 2 of the "Classic At The Disco" mix. Blaze it.
