---- NEWS The international edition of the last two broadcasts are now online for listening. Scroll down below and you'll find the audio links and playlist info for Urban Landscapes Radioshows 7.31 and 7.32. THE URBAN LANDSCAPES GUESTMIX PRESENTS: SIMON S. FROM BREAK REFORM Once again, one of the brains behind the Break Reform trio puts out an invitingly soulful mix. Simon S. has been DJing in England and elsewhere for over 15 years, and he (along with J.J. Webster) has put his musical/DJ knowledge to great effect not only with Break Reform, but with other productions such as Low Budget Soul, D'Nell, and others. We once again present his latest mix for your pleasure. Website: http://www.abstractbluerecordings.com THE URBAN LANDSCAPES GUESTMIX PRESENTS: TOKYODAWN RECORDS The featured guestmix for Urban Landscapes Radioshow 7.32 is one of the best mixes I've heard in quite awhile. It comes from a label based in Germany called Tokyodawn Records. If you've been listening to the radioshow earlier this year, you'd probably know of a compilation that I've been airing titled "Practice Avoiding Mistakes." The comp features a great mix of neo-soul, hip-hop, broken beat, spoken words, and much more in a solid package. Dare I say that the mix is truly the backbone of what the Urban Landscapes Radioshow continuously seeks out for--music that's deep, soulful, jazzy, and eclectic. Since 1997, Tokyodawn Records has exists as a "netlabel for 'opensource music'" from a variety of artists worldwide. All of the music online are free to download for your personal listening and enjoyment, so check it out! Respect to Prymer, the man behind the label, for the terrific mix.

His magic tore up the SLO Brewing Company's downstairs dancefloor as he's played to a very enthusiastic audience. It was a Monday night, a warm summer night, and a week before final exams. But most everyone who attended walked out happy, still dancing and nodding. His three-hour set touched on all kinds of styles, yet keeping people moving and grooving. It was very refreshing to have such an act of his stature perform a gig here, and it was even more heartening that there were people who were musically open-minded enough to show their support by their attendance. Shouts out to the peeps who attended, and thanks very much to Manuel Barba at Rascobar Productions for volleying the first step of what we hope will be more of these kinds of events here in San Luis Obispo. We are working on several fronts, so keep your eyes peeled. On, and hats off to the man Quantic. Nice to see you again, mate. HEADS UP The Urban Landscapes Radioshow is taking a bit of a break after this week's show, but will return live on-air on Friday September 24 with more great music, guestmixes, and more. Doing what I do is very rewarding, but also takes up a great deal of time. And with that, I'm going to freshen myself up and get ready for a very busy fall. You'll see at least one more circular coming your way with my picks for September, as well as new reviews. And yes, one more show to put online too. Enjoy the music, and have a great weekend! ---- VELANCHE'S SOUNDSCAPES August 2004 (in no particular order) 1. Pixel - People Need People (Counterpoint CD-R) 2.
